    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?

    obviously we are talking about labs, I am relating the same logic to breeds I am far more familer with.

    and by the way. not all the kennel clubs in the world say that, only the conformation clubs say this. big difference.

    you are by the way the very first coformation person I have EVER heard admit that dog shows are beauty contests, I was in shock I most certainly agree dog shows ARE beautys contests, but well most conformation people deny it lol

    i don't think they relate as well to the silverlab controversy, since silverlab are not bred to improve retrieveing skills.

    i asumed you knew i was tlaking about conformation kennel clubs.

    well, at least as far as i know, when it's an all breed or specialty that does not ask for hunting tests to win, it is a beauty show.
