My dog who still lives with my parents in Louisiana is a lab/chow mix. She is red, and is a beautiful dog. I'm not sure if her red is from the lab side of her heritage or the chow side.

(BTW, she and my sister's dog still live with my parents because by the time my sister and I had the space to keep our dogs with us, the two of them were so bonded to each other that none of us could bear to separate them. They are both getting up in years now.)
