The Lab Husky mix gives you the adorable, spunky Labsky. If you’re up for a new adventure, these dogs will keep you on your toes. They need lots of space to be happy, so if you can’t support an active lifestyle in a city setting, these dogs will do best with a yard.

7. Sheprador (Labrador Retriever x German Shepherd)

The breathtaking Sheprador is the product of mixing the Lab and German Shepherd. These dogs hold remarkable intelligence, making them ideal for advanced training. In fact, since they are so mentally stimulated, they need lots of things around to keep them busy.

The Pointador is a learner that is quick-witted and sharp. They tend to mature slowly, exploding with an abundance of energy. These dogs will need to burn off steam a lot in the first few years—so be prepared for long games of fetch, jogs, and other high-intensity activities.

These dogs also have a particular affinity for the outdoors. If you love hiking and other outdoor activities, these dogs will gladly accompany you on the trip. This breed may not work with smaller pets, but they seem to get along awesomely with kids over 6 years old.

10. Rottador (Labrador Retriever x Rottweiler)

The Lab and Rottweiler mixture gives you a larger, intimidating-looking dog that is a goof at heart. The Rottador is a perfect mix of energy and chill. They love every moment spent playing, but they equally love their downtime.

This pairing generally creates pups who are strong-willed, playful, and incredibly connected to their family system.

12. Labratzu (Labrador Retriever x Shih Tzu)

The Labrador Shih Tzu combo gives you this huggable scruffy face. These dogs can range quite a bit in just how big they get as adults—but you can expect it to fall somewhere in the middle of both parent breeds. Still quite small, the Labratzu steals the show with their humbleness and cuteness.

These dogs might fare okay in apartments, but they can be a little vocal. They do, however, work very well with kids and older adults.

These dogs are perfect matches for growing families, older adults, and singles. They mesh with just about any stranger, child, or creature. But keep in mind, every dog is unique, and some may be more reserved than others.

16. Bullmasador (Labrador Retriever x Bull Mastiff)

The Bullmasador takes on attractive traits from its parents—the Bull Mastiff and Lab. These dogs are usually very protective but decisive when they judge new people. But they are highly trainable, making a terrific watch or guard dog.

These dogs form intense bonds with owners and they take their roles in families seriously. However, because they are so large, they do best with older children. Especially when they are young, they might not exhibit body control during play.

20. Laboundland (Labrador Retriever x Newfoundland)

The Lab and Newfoundland go together like peanut butter and jelly. These dogs have such admirable traits and the sweetest expressions. The calm nature of the Newfie balances the high energy of the Lab, creating a well-balanced, obedient dog.

These dogs are highly affectionate and connected with their human families. They get along well with many household pets and make great playmates for children.

21. Labrabull (Labrador Retriever x American Pit Bull Terrier)

The Labrabull takes the American Pit Bull Terrier muscle and combines it with the agility of the Lab. This powerful duo makes a fun-loving, on-the-move dog that loves to explore the world.

These dogs are generally ideal for many lifestyles—including growing families and older adults. They learn obedience well and have a soft-soft for their owners and members of the household.

26. Wolfador ( Labrador Retriever x Gray Wolf)

The stunning Wolfador is not for the faint of heart. These dogs come with the primal, fierce intelligence of their grey wolf parent, posing a complicated offspring that isn’t a traditional dog. However, the friendliness and even-tempered nature of the Lab bring a sweet element of tameness to this creature.

Looking for an agreeable temperament is paramount. These dogs will require lots of interaction with people and animals of all kinds.

27. Lab Pei (Labrador Retriever x Shar Pei)

The adorable, wrinkly Lab Pei is the product of mixing the Lab and Shar Pei. While every puppy can take traits from its parents, this combo seems to even the puppies out. They carry the amiable nature of the Lab to cancel out the potential aggression of the Shar-Pei parent.

These dogs can be great protectors and usually have good judgment. However, we recommend the Lab Pei for older kids.

28. Labrakita (Labrador Retriever x Akita)

The Labrakita is a very confident dog that works well with protection duties. If you want to have a dog who will guard the door and listen to commands, they fit the bill. But their Akita side can make them somewhat stubborn, which can make training difficult.

These dogs work best in households with older, mature children. They love being on the go, making them perfect hiking or outdoor companions.

29. Rhodesian Labrador (Labrador Retriever x Rhodesian Ridgeback)

The Rhodesian Labrador is a combo of two beauties—the Lab and Rhodesian Ridgeback. These dogs are physically stunning, with athletic bodies and even coloring.

These dogs can be a challenge for novice dog owners because of their strong-willed nature. But people with previous dog experience can find the breed quite rewarding. Many puppies level out since they take on traits of both parents, but this breed is best for children 6 and older.

30. Schnauzador (Labrador Retriever x Schnauzer)

The sweet Schnauzador can take on a variety of heights depending on their Schnauzer parents. Schnauzers come in three sizes: miniature, standard and giant. So, when you purchase your puppy, you will have to check with the breeder to see what you’re working with.

These dogs tend to be very friendly—but brave and bossy. They can be a little dominant over same-sex pairings. However, they are terrific with children and older adults—fitting in with almost any living situation.

31. Pyrador (Labrador Retriever x Great Pyrenees)

The Pyrador is a lover at heart. These gentle giants have beautiful long coats that will require a lot of maintenance. Even though they are large, they tend to be very careful and gentle with humans.

These dogs are explorers at heart and absolutely love the great outdoors. Because of their inclination for nature, they do best in homes to come in and go out as they please. These dogs are excellent for any sized family—but not any size of living space.

33. Labloodhound (Labrador Retriever x Bloodhound)

What do you get when you combine a top-notch sniffer with webbed toes? You get the Labloodhound. This dog has hunting roots so deep, you’ll never get them out. So don’t make the mistake of thinking they won’t always be sniffing and chasing potential ‘prey,’ even just during play.

These dogs are workers in the field, but they also love their human companions. Cuddly and affectionate, these dogs will lather you with love. This breed is best suited for country living.

34. Beagador (Labrador Retriever x Beagle)

Beagles and Labs both get tons of praise for being people-friendly, mild-tempered dogs with amiable personalities. So, it’s really no wonder this makes such a fabulous union. These dogs are small to medium-sized and will work well in plenty of homes.

This combo would make a terrific “first puppy” for the kids. However, they can make just as good of a fit for older adults or those who live in busy communities. Since they do have Beagle roots, they might howl a lot—so be mindful of this possibility.

35. Boxador (Labrador Retriever x Boxer)

The Boxador is a cheery companion animal that will keep you entertained. Both parent breeds have fun, goofy personalities that translate into this breed. They are generally inquisitive, happy-go-lucky, and free-spirited.

But we do have to mention that sometimes these dogs can show aggression if they aren’t socialized properly. Also, lack of stimulation might lead to unwanted destructive behaviors. These dogs are quite social and enjoy being around others at all times.

36. Afador (Labrador Retriever x Afghan Hound)

The Afador is an exciting dog with various genetics at play. These dogs can have shorter hair, like the Lab parent, or long-flowing Afghan hair. These dogs are a bit shorter and stockier than the Afghan parent but are still graceful in their stride.

These dogs form close bonds with people in their immediate family. They can be accepting of newcomers once they become familiar—but they are generally standoffish with strangers until they get to know them.

37. Cavador (Labrador Retriever x Cavalier King Charles Spaniel)

The sweet little Cavador is a medium-sized hybrid with kind eyes and floppy ears. Both parents have quite a reputation for being softies, and their offspring are no different. These sweethearts are mild, loving, and quite playful, too.

These dogs can work well for apartment living, permitting they meet the weight requirements as adults. They also make great matches for small kids and retirees alike.

38. Boston Lab (Labrador Retriever x Boston Terrier)

The Boston Lab is a chipper companion animal with wonderful personalities. These dogs are typically a smaller size, fitting somewhere between both parent breeds. They are perfect companion animals but might wag a tail at a robber rather than sound the attack.

Both parent breeds are amiable, but Boston Terriers can be a little bossy sometimes. The Lab half does a good job balancing these traits, but some might still be a little fiery from time to time—but usually, it’s all in good fun.
