IRescue452,

i do think the dogs themselves are not to blame, but the breeders. i'm not attacking the dogs, but the people who breed them and those who buy them just to get the last dog trend.
i reaaaallly don't think reputable breeders and the parent club of the breed will accept this color, due to all the doubts there are about this dogs being purebred labs.
i do agree there are several breeders that claim to be "reputable" and "professional" just because they own AKC registered dogs and step into the ring to show them. that's when your knowledge about the breed comes in handy, to be able to tell apart a lier from a real reputable breeder.
by the way, now that i showed you my dogs, what do you think? lol.
