Dogs of the same breed can definatly look different to an extent --- it depends on what their parents looked like, and their genes in general. Unfortunatly with AKC, you can register a non-purebred dog as purebred because they only need a picture to register your dog. So it's entirely possible that your dog isn't purebred. But there's still a good chance it is. Do you have any pics? As far as size is concerned, the colour never changes the size. Labs can range from different sizes and weights; it all depends on the genes, not the colour.
