Help with labrador coloring

[Jamie_Dog_Trainer]

One thing I was thinking is, if the puppies were *just* born, they could be stained from placental/amnionic fluids. I have seen this several times with lighter colored dogs, the staining can be alarming, though it will go away after a few days. Otherwise, its just that these puppies are a darker yellow than the rest.

Yellow labs can range from a pale cream, almost white, to a dark red about the color of an Irish setter. They're all still the same as yellow labs. I'm sure there's some modifier genes at work to create this wide spectrum of shades, but genetically they should all be the same color (ee).

Uh no. Their not chocolates, I have a choco. I would know and.....

OH MY GOSH $700? WAYYY over priced. Hope they find good homes

I don't know but 700 isn't bad. At least in CA. Providing the hips are good , declaws removed. Vaccines. But she should not be selling as chocolate if they aren't. Yellow labs can range in color. Some darker some lighter.

A red puppy can be homozygous for chocolate if it has a chocolate colored nose leather. If you bred it to a chocolate lab that did not carry red, all the puppies would be chocolate, and carry red. If a dog has a black nose, it carries at least one black gene. The other gene could be either black or chocolate. If it has two copies of black, it can not produce a chocolate puppy ever.

umm no. chocolate labs are born a rich deep chocolate, not some rusty color and darken.

Maybe this will help.

Like others have been saying all the variations between "white and "fox red" are yellow. Here are some pictures so you can see the variations of yellow.

No sorry those pups won't darken. They are goldies all the way through.

That Meth Lab is pretty... umm.. interesting. Are people really breeding for that?

LOL JK
