i've never seen a silverlab doing their job. no one is saying that if it's not a black, or yellow or chocolate lab, it can't do the work. even mutts can do the work.

where the heck did you get that? noone said anything about dogs and their retrieving skills. if you want a herding dog, pick any dog with the skills for it.

i wouldn't know about bearded collies. sorry.
i do know about recognized colors in labs. we're talking about labs remember?
