If anyone's looking for a Lab, my friend's dog just had puppies. The mom is a white lab and the dad is a black lab. So, the puppies are all black except for white patches on their chests. The pups will be ready for new homes on June 30th. Since only the mom has AKC papers, the puppies don't.

Send me a p.m. if you're interested. :howdy:

Purebred labrador retrievers have single color coats. If they have white patches on their chests, then one or both of the parents is not a purebred lab.

I have never heard of a white lab? Maybe it is a yellow?

Color
The Labrador Retriever coat colors are black, yellow and chocolate. Any other color or a combination of colors is a disqualification. A small white spot on the chest is permissible, but not desirable. White hairs from aging or scarring are not to be misinterpreted as brindling. Black--Blacks are all black. A black with brindle markings or a black with tan markings is a disqualification. Yellow--Yellows may range in color from fox-red to light cream, with variations in shading on the ears, back, and underparts of the dog. Chocolate--Chocolates can vary in shade from light to dark chocolate. Chocolate with brindle or tan markings is a disqualification.

My mother is an AKC registered breeder. Regulation Labs come in Yellow, Chocolate, or Black....genetically speaking if you end up with a pup who has mixed coloring, one or both of the parents have mixed heritage lingering in their chromosomes.

Yeah, but what if the lab is a little taller or shorter than desirable...does that not make him a lab anymore? :lol:

Maybe she's a yellow lab that is so light she appears white?

Heck, I don't know. I was just trying to help out my friend! :lmao:

Variance from breed standard height would make the lab "less desirable" though none the less a lab.

That's what I was wondering. Yellow labs have lots of different hues.
