Finn is darker than your typical yellow labrador, he's more of a fox red color. A lady at a dog park told me that Finn wasn't purebred, because she'd "never seen one that color." Whatever. Anyway, so, I searched online and found some really RED labs! And, silver ones, too! I've seen them before, but, thought I'd post a couple of pictures....Here's the silver....

Ok, I'm bored...here are white ones, too.....

Of course, yellow, chocolate, and black are the only recognized colors. But, the other variations are still pretty....
wow! I like those red ones!
I really love the red ones as well, they are all beautiful. But I have to say the red ones are my favorite. Darn, I look at the white ones and think, oh look at all those cute little babies nursing. I would like one of each!
Willie:)
There are also "long-haired" Labs. I was at the vet's office with Zoey the other day and I was sitting next to a guy with a long-haired chocolate Lab. It was sooo gorgeous...I was drooling over him the whole time.
wow! I love the silver ones they look like Weimereiners. The fox red ones look like Short Haired red Goldens.
Very pretty!
This really is an awful picture, but it's all I've got for right now. I just think they are gorgeous...

I think all labs, no matter what color they are, are very pretty. Finn has a nice color and is adorable. The white ones are really nice too.
This had me laughing, only because several times people have commented on Malone and insisted that he IS a purebred, when in FACT he has golden retr. in him. It just goes to show what people *think* they know. So ditto to what you said -- "Whatever" :rolleyes:Quote:

Those pictures are adorable of the silver and fox red! I love the colors. :)
My dog who still lives with my parents in Louisiana is a lab/chow mix. She is red, and is a beautiful dog. I'm not sure if her red is from the lab side of her heritage or the chow side.
(BTW, she and my sister's dog still live with my parents because by the time my sister and I had the space to keep our dogs with us, the two of them were so bonded to each other that none of us could bear to separate them. They are both getting up in years now.)
Wow! Those are beautiful dogs!
But, they are not pure Labs, I don't think? The different colors is caused by inbreeding.
Those aren't labs, they are chesapeake bay retrievers. :pQuote:

No...they aren't. It is a long-haired Lab. Plus, a Chessie's fur is longer...but not nearly the same. They have more of a waved, denser coat....the dog in the picture [and the dog I saw at the vet's] has a longer, smoother coat.Quote:

They are all so cute (no matter what they are:p ).
I remember when I was taking Roxey to obedience school a lady who showed Siberians came over and said "Kinda small isn't she, she can't be purebred" then turned around and walked away:rolleyes: People can be such jerks!
