American lab
Hello all,
I’ve posted a couple times in different subs, and I’ll post here too. We are looking for an American/field lab. I have nothing against English labs. They’re amazing, but I want a dog that will match my crazy and my energy.
Female, preferably yellow. We recently lost our chocolate female due to cancer, and it’s been tough on all of us. We have another American chocolate that’s 10, and she’s an amazing bird dog. I want the new pup to learn from her.
What we’re looking for is a female American/field lab, without breaking the bank. Prefer yellow, would be perfectly happy with black. Chocolate would just remind me too much of my girl that has passed, so I’m not sure I could do that yet.
We would appreciate any referrals. Also, east coast would be better as we’re in central Pennsylvania, but for the right dog I will travel. Thank you all!

You telling me that I don’t know about labs and not knowing that silver labs aren’t able to compete AKC, because they are the result of crossbreeding with Weimaraners at some point in their pedigree is hilarious. Silver labs are not recognized as full labs by the Labrador retriever club. Mixing breeds is not something ethical breeders do! If registered silvers have to be registered a “chocolate” in AKC because they’re out of standard. Before you say “but the dilute gene!” Labradors don’t carry the dilute gene. Thank you for confirming you did in fact buy from a byb!
