Hong Kong charity breeding Labrador with golden retriever to boost guide dog supply
A Hong Kong charity is attempting to fast-track the supply of guide dogs for the blind by breeding a Labrador with a golden retriever for the first time, as only 10 per cent of applicants for canines were ready for immediate pairing.
Jasmine Tang Yau-sheung, head of operations with Hong Kong Seeing Eye Dog Services, also told the South China Morning Post that the number of canines still lagged far behind demand, even with the imminent birth of the mixed-breed “goldadors”.

This litter of goldadors marks the charity’s third local breeding initiative, following earlier efforts to breed four purebred Labradors and seven mixed with poodles called “labradoodles” since its guide dog training school opened in Ta Kwu Ling in late 2022.
