Hunting Labs

[speck-chaser]

Yes, I have a new "Silver" Lab puppy. I got it from a reputable breeder who has been consitantly turning out silvers for 16 years now. For those of you who "think" you know that labs are bred with weimies to get this color, you need to do some more homework. They are still registered under the heading of chocolate,because the specifications state that colors can range from sedge to chocolate. Check with akc,they have done a good bit of research on these silvers.My puppies daddy was a Silver,and the mom was a factored silver chocolate. They had a litter of 8. 5 silvers and 3 chocolates. Soooo.... dont be hatin.lol The last pic is the baby daddy.

Specifically breeding for color is a huge disservice to the breed! Just like them short legged pig lookin labs at the dog shows!

[Top Dawg]

Yep. So have we finally narrowed it down that their are only chocolate, yellow, and black labs???

Exactly! It's science! A simple Punnet square will tell you, labs have B, E, or b. They don't have any other pigments.

boy your pups dad is an animal and a beautiful dog...where could I get my hands on one like him??

I knew a guy that had two silver lab puppies when he let his 2 chocolate littermates to close to each other when the female was in heat....I personally don't want a dog that takes a little sister twister to make.

I have taken bits and pieces of advice from Raymond Little on dogs and the major theme is "when you start breeding for a specific color and not for genetic traits you are getting exactly what you are paying for"

Pretty much exactly what I said.

So really what he has is cross breed btw a Weimaraner and lab.
Some people just want to be different.

And theres nothing wrong with that. But if you want a pure bred Labrador it's either going to be black, yellow, or chocolate.

Lot of folks out there like to be different from the norm and that is cool. Folks also don't like being taken down the river. So when they pay big money for a "silver" lab, they will argue all day long that their lab is really a lab. Even though it isn't. What is most concerning is that breeding for certain colors will be the downfall of some great blood lines. People want a groovy rainbow colored lab instead of good genetics. Who cares if it has bad eyes, and bad hips? The damn thing is rainbow! Gimme a high five bro!

So how is the black pups in my dogs litter more pure than the yellows and chocolates? They have the exact same pedigree.

Uhhhhh, no one is talking about your litter except for you. Let remind you again, your entire litter comes from black lab bloodlines.

I give up lol. Its the weekend and I have teal to worry about. So what did we learn here today? There are only 3 lab colors. Black, yellow, and chocolate. We'll resume this lesson Monday.
