Golden Irish
Golden Retriever / Irish Setter
Hybrid
The Golden Irish is not a
purebred dog. It is a cross between the
Golden Retriever and the
Irish Setter. The best way to determine the
temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you
can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in either breed.
This hybrid cross is recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club.
Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50%
purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed
multi-generation crosses.
Cooper, the Golden Irish (Golden
Retriever / Irish Setter mix) at 3½ years old. "He stands about 10"
shorter than an Irish Setter and is therefore more compact and less lanky in
his gait; walks with a bit of that Setter bounce and runs beautifully. Needs
exercise and loves to fetch; I have him running off-leash once or twice a
day; and is very much a water dog. He has shorter hair on his back and
longer on the chest and withers and sheds significantly less than a Golden
Retriever (my previous dog). His coat is really smooth and soft and is a
rich chestnut color, not as red as a Setter. He has a fabulous disposition,
is great with children, adapted easily to his new home (at approximate age
of 1.5yrs) and he has been quite easy to train. He has a huge personality
and is very sociable. Health has been quite good to date - needs regular ear
cleaning to prevent infection & occasional anal gland clearing and
infusions. People often stop me in the street to ask about him and because
we live in the city he makes new friends daily. Just yesterday a complete
stranger said "You know, you have the best looking dog in the neighborhood!"
- definitely not the first time I've heard this type of comment."
