No, they are entirely different breeds. Both are retrievers, as the Labrador Retriever.
The nickname for the Golden Retriever is "goldie" or a Golden. Both are breeds of dogs.
Within both breeds there is great variation: coat, size, head, jaws.
Labs tend to have short hair; the goldies have longer hair, and if they are inside animals, they have to be brushed more often, unless you just like hair balls in corners and such.
Labs tend to be overly hyper and exitable till they are five, and even after that they don't quite 'grow up' mentally. Retreivers tend to calm down at 3 years of age, so they are more recommended for little kids then the lab. and are among the most registered dogs in the US.
While is is not smart to ever leave a child (your definition and age limits) with a dog alone, generally, these both breeds are not inclined to chew promiscuously upon children. As with all dogs, don't bet the farm on it, however.

What do you get when you cross a black lab with a golden retriever Are they going to be long haired or short?
The Golden Labrador is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the Golden Retriever and the LabradorRetriever.My Golden Retriever (female) had pups for my Black Lab (male) and all pups were solid black. They call the cross Golden Labs but mine are more like Black retrievers. They do have long hair. The actual length depends on if they're half lab half golden, or if it's quarter golden, then it wont be as fuzzy.
