By the way, someone asked about colors in each litter...the black gene is dominant so if a particular mating pair has strong black in their bloodline then it's very likely to have all black puppies. I once bred my yellow with a chocolate and the litter came out all black and that was the explanation I got.

I've had labs of all three colors in my life and have never noticed a difference in them that I could contribute to the color of their coat. If you think about it, that really makes very little sense. Unless there's been some scientific study done out there to find some kind of link between the coat color gene and disposition it just doesn't add up. The only difference is the coat color gene. My last lab was a beautiful blocky yellow that was almost white. I've been itching to get another one but really don't have a preferrence between the colors, just want a big block head and stocky build.

I've never personally owned a chocolate lab but everyone I've talked with about them(owners, breeders, trainers) say that they're always the hardest lab to deal with. They say they end up being the highest strung, hardest to train and least disciplined of any labs. I have no idea why but I have spoken with numerous people that all have the same opinion.

I don't know about all that dominant gene stuff. They may be more athletic and high strung but I don't know about dominant. I am totally for having fun, but when it comes to breeding stick with your own kind. I support inter breeding for others, just not my two puppies. That doesn't make me racist. My neighbor has a chocolate lab and I enjoy her when she runs in my yard and craps. I just want to keep my lines clean.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubble gum.

I have a yellow Lab and an English Springer spaniel, two of the best dogs I've ever had. If you're going to own a Lab, I think you need to make every effort to get them in the water as often as you can. Both of my dogs seem to be the happiest when they are splashing in the water.

We had a female chocolate lab (we got from a Columbia shelter when she was a puppy) for 13 wonderful years. She was and always will be a member of the family. I've had a number of dogs and breeds over my 63 years, but the chocolate lab was the best by far.
If you get a lab, take time with them. They are so smart and really easy to train. Their devotion is without debate and the experience will give you a lifetime of memories.
