Say No To Silver Labs

[Allecto]

Torner, you say silvers are more prone to certain auto-immune disorders... if true, that would make me more inclined to believe that at least a portion of silver labs are purebred genetic flukes. It seems like a crossbreed wouldn't be consistantly developing the same genetic defect, but maybe that's just me.


Also, if a color occurs in less than 25% of the population, it is unnatural?! Where the heck do you get that from, and how do you back it up? By that argument, all red-headed humans are fake and unnatural. I guess they must be crossed with orangutans or something . Since none of us can prove they're not, I call for the sterilization of all red-heads!

You aren't an expert, so just ask me if I need to point out the differences and similarities:

i didn't say silvers are propense to develop this diseases. i said BLUE colored dogs are. of course they wouldn't develop deseases due to the variety of genetic code from different breeds crosses.

that kind of sarcasm and comparissons are just the last resource for people who don't have anything to say. DOGS ARE NOT EQUAL TO HUMAS. they can be part of the family and loved pets, but not humas.

dog population and human population are different. i'm not talking about labs as a species, but as breed. it's stupid to say that red headed humans are not humans!!!!
i'll correct your example: if both your parents, and your grand parents, and 20 generations before you are white skined, and have blonde hair, wouldn't it be unnatural to your family line if you were borned black?????
by your response, i do think you could be part orangutan.

oh..and you are? lol. at least i'm geeting my masters degree on coat color genetics.
