| | Silver Labradors ? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Yes, it would be interesting to see what color traits these "silver" Labradors carry, and I suggest that they are not tested by their owners, because it may be found that the dog was indeed a "dilute" chocolate, or that it carries a color trait that is only found in other breeds (see Weimaraners). |
 | | Reputable breeders of Labradors complained to the AKC that their "OTHER" option for color on AKC puppy registrations was opening the door for dogs (including silvers) who were out of standard to be defined as a "color" in Labradors, when in fact, it was an error in coloration, akin to a mismarked puppy. |
 | | These "silver" dogs can only compete in the breed ring as chocolates, and the chocolate color is well described in the breed standard, so when you see reference to "shades of chocolate", please refer to the breed standard for clarification. |
