I'm not very fond of labs either, but I am kind of partial to yellow labs. They're very pretty. Working at a boarding kennel-all you see is labs all day, and each color has a distinct personality. Yellows tend to be more reserved and calm, but if you get them going they'll play all day. Blacks are one extreme or other-either very reserved or extremely hyper. And chocolates are just the craziest dang things I've ever met. There are exceptions, but everyone at the kennel agreed that that's the way the colors go.
