P.E.W. in the rodent world is another name for albino (pink eyed white). Anytime an animal has no pigment in it's body it is an albino. It would be the same genetic makeup of the other sibblings in the litter, but the albino gene covers its real coloring, because it is a dominant gene. There are white labs but they have gold eyes, if they have pink eyes they are albino. Albino animals are rarely healthy as the sun causes cancer to their unpigmented skin and their immune systems are lacking in antibodies for certain cancers and certain pathiological disease. A blue eyed white would have less problems but would probably still have sunburn and conjunctivitis.Dogs with blue eyes have chance of deafness esp. with blue eyes and high white coloring. To my knowledge silver labs have not been registered since 1993 has this changed? Last I knew they had to be registersd as chocolates...
