A straight Golden/lab could not produce liver. Liver is recessive to ee yellow, which is what all Goldens are (or should be).
Now, you could breed a chocolate lab to a Golden, then one of those pups back to a chocolate factored lab, and possibly get the color. But then the coat is a problem because smooth (lab type) is dominant over rough (Golden type).
OK, so now you can take the NEXT generation and breed THEM together - chocolate factored, rough factored parents to produce a chocolate rough coated pup.
I think you have to keep the Golden out of it and just go for maybe something like a bird dog/lab/Aussie mix. There's a little fine-ness about the legs and muzzle that reminds me of an aussie or BC.
The first one is just amazing. The bone and head, and those gorgeous ears! I'm really going to go out on a limb and say I don't think there's BC in that guy. I don't usually go for the rare breeds but honestly he's too much like those Munsterlanders to dismiss it.
