I have a purebred Golden lab with papers.She got mixed up with a non purebred male and had a litter of pups.I am now told that because she had a liiter of mixed she is now not considered purebred and any future litters even when bred with purebred male will now carry the mixed line of the first litter.Is this true??

No, the previous breeding will not affect future breeding. Tho the fact that your dog was allowed "to get mixed up" with another dog, means that it is probably best to spay her and not consider breeding. Accidents should never happen in reputable breeding.

There is no such thing as a purebred golden lab. There are labs that come in chocolate, black and yellow. The yellow color can range from nearly white to fox-red, but is still classified as a yellow lab. Anyone selling white, silver, or golden labs is probably not a responsible breeder, because those color classifications don't exist. A purebred yellow lab can look like that, but it is still a yellow lab. However, the term "golden lab" makes me think that this dog is a mix between a golden retriever and a labrador retriever. If that is the case, she is not a purebred.
Where are you papers from? AKC wouldn't register a golden lab. You might have been tricked into thinking you have a purebred. If you don't have a purebred, it's best not to breed.
But in any case, no dog is ever tainted from an accidental breeding. No future pups will be tainted from your mistake. But I think you should do more research into the history of the breed and your own dog, so that you know things like "there are no golden labs." You need to make sure your dog is purebred and an excellent specemin of the breed in order to breed her. So you need to find out more about the breed standard. Talk to some people from the Labrador Retriever Club, or the kennel club in your area.

wow DONT LISTEN TO ANYTHING this person tells you about dogs again because tehy dont know what they are talking about!
YES your dog is purebred still. purebred means that both her mother and father were registered dogs of the same breed. letting your dog breed with a dog that is a different breed or unregistered will result in mix bred puppies but that does not chaneg that your dog's parents were both purebred! and if you breed a future litter with a purebred dog that litter can be registred and will be purebred
IF YOU DONT know this you shouldnt be breeding your dog. this is one of the most basic knowledges you should know about dogs and you dont seem to get it and you should not be breeding your dog.
leave the breeding to people with experience and some common sense about dogs.
just because you have a dog doesnt mean you should breed it.
dont breed agina since you obviously know nothing about doing so.
also, there is no such thing as a GOLDEN lab!!!!!!!!! there is yellow, black and chocolate..
once again showing your lack of knowledge of dogs.....
DONT BREED AGAIN you are very dumb...
thanks you are doing your dog a favor if you just let her be your pet, you are going to end up hurting your dog if you continue doing this to her when you dont know anything.....

this is a very old myth that was disproven decades (I'm tempted to say a centry) ago. At one time all the heritage of the offspring was considered to be from the father (mom being only an incubator) therefore if there is a resemblence between the first litter & the second it has to be a carry over from the first father, not that they have the same mother!
However the owner of the second stud will require a brucellosis test (a dog sexually transmited disease) as well as the usual titles & hip & eye clearances on your girl since the mixed male probably didn't get the test! not to mention some study might be wise to keep from convincing the studs owner that you will mishandle his "grandkids" from lack of knowlage...

No way. Once a purebred, always a purebred. I would really recommend getting her spayed. It not only helps with the over-population of pets but also helps prevent alot of health problems in female dogs.

Your Golden lab still is purebred. These litter of pups are not purebred. The future litter will be pure only when she breed with purebred.

I believe that you'll find that your dog is (and always will be) purebred... however the puppies are not (from this litter) but any future litters will be determined from the male dog (whether or not he is a purebred lab)...

I don't think so. It's not like she received DNA from the non-purebred dog. The puppies did, but she didn't. If you breed her with a purebred lab in the future, the puppies will be purebred.

Is old wives tale to say when bred with a mixed breed all future litters will be mixed.
It is not true as long as you pick a well maintained Male with a good blood line to breed to next time.

Your dog is a purebreed and will always be a purebreed. Her puppies (1st litter) are not but, that will not affect any future litters she has. If she is bred with a male with papers then the future puppies will be purebreed also and can be registered.
