Full chocolate lab??

[OkieChickenGal]

Hi,
I bought my lab puppy "Roxy" a week ago... But does she look full lab? She has white on her chest, toes, and under her chin a little. She also has a couple of white toenails... What do you all think?

Purebred labs do not have any white.

But the lady who sold her to me said the white would go away... She also sent me pictures of the parents who look like full labs.. Maybe they weren't really the parents?

White on the chest and toes is very common in labs. Even purebreds. Its also acceptable in the breed standard.

It could get smaller as the pup grows up. That's also common.

I am sorry for giving you the wrong information... my bad!

Thank you both! She also told me the puppy didn't have worms... And for the past 6 days I didn't see any. But now she's got them. Why weren't they in her stools the past 6 days but they are now?

I have a chocolate lab, your pup is just fine. Term disqualification in regards to off colors refers to the show ring, not to whether or not the dog may be registered as a pedigree.

They were incubating. Usually a pup will be wormed several times before a certain age. Its been a while since I had pups, but I do remember my dog, even though she came from a reputable breeder, was wormed a good 3 times by the vet at her checkups. Its a safety measure.
