So in retrospect the OP should have said, a bit labish and goldish....
To the OP,
What’s done is done, just make sure to find great homes for the pups. Do what ever you can to make sure they all get neutered and spayed. Also get your own dogs spayed ASAP.
I love looking at puppy pictures, but you know, the more aware I am about the over populated situation we have with dogs and how many get pts every year because of it I don’t see puppies in the same limelight as I used to. It’s sad really, it’s as though a bit of my innocence inside me has died. They are still cute, don’t get me wrong, nothing cutter then a puppy but I have a sense of doom or fear for the pups I see for what is to come to them in their often short little lives. Especially with puppies in such circumstances. Maybe it's because I see so many that looks the same as these little guys do in shelters.

Ok another Typo Half have the hair type like Goldens and half have the short Labby hair. Also someone said somthing about cockerish NOPE! Loves Mom was a Lab her Dad was a pure bred Registered Goldern retriever. The Father is Half Golden Retriever/ Black labish dog. The only MIXY mix breed in there is the the Fathers Mom. The puppies all took the trait of Black but soem turned out like goldens and some like Labs. In Loves Mom Litter two looked Like Labs two loooked Like pure Goldens.
As Smkie said it is possible to have a silent heat.
I Will not let these puppies go to pounds. I am telling the new owners that if something should happen they will coem back to me.
ALSO I will not spay them they are 4 weeks old. I was told by a vet to wait till they are to there full growth or in females case till after there first heat. It casn cause growth problems.
Wow... you really don't read what people write do you? Leslie was NOT saying your lab-golden mixes were cockers... she was making a comparison to other things she has heard.
Also no one suggested you spay them at 4wks. Only that they should go to homes with a spay/neuter contract, so that people WILL be legally obligated to get the dogs spayed/neutered so more puppies like them won't be produced.
Read first, understand second... THEN jump to conclusions.

Females that have an inverted or juvenile vulva (more common in certain breeds) should wait until after the first heat to be spayed. The enlargement of the vulva can correct this particular problem when allowed to go thru a heat cycle. Therefore preventing problem infections thruout their life. And preventing need for future surgery if infections are a problem.
Other than that I believe it is reasonable to spay before the first heat.

OF coarse Im not selling them at 4 week are you nuts! for real you guys need to get over this. I do know a lot about breeding most likely more than you. Though none of you know me and you just keep judging me. I AM NOT SPAYING MY DOG! She had a silent heat. I am not Selling the puppies I came here to see if someone would adopt one. Not to have everyone on this board come and yell and debate about everything I say. I truly hope you all are happy You have turned my innocent post about finding puppies homes into a war and for that I may not find a home for them. I will no longer be replying here in this thread unless you want to adopt the puppies. OR better yet you can Pm me. TY why for all your input THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR OPINIONS. Just to let you know not everyone has to agree with you and you can not push your choices on me or anyone else.
Mandy....I have a great link to help you get more educated on breeding.

ooOo Gallien Jacks has a good point..
Something you PROBABLY should have thought about... or at least your vet to tell you when you announced the litter was a mistake..
and NOT ONLY breeders have intact animals.
I'm not a Belgian breeder, yet have an intact male Belgian Tervuren. The reason; He is a SHOW DOG and can NOT be nuetered before achieving his CH title..
We ALSO have an intact female reason; SHE IS A SHOW DOG and is working on getting her CH title as well.
We also have another male - BUT he was NOT show quality so has been nuetered.
We have gone through one heat with our female already and have NO PROBLEMS seperating her until we were fully able to put them together again(ie. heat is over!!).
You will always be able to tell when your female is going into heat - silent or not...
There are physical changes in her "area" you can noticable see, not to mention that males are more interested in her..
If you had watched your dog closer this wouldn't be an issue.
