Discover The Wonders Of Silver Labradors

By Julio Douthit


Choosing a suitable family dog is always a big decision for any person to make. Most individuals will make up a list of required traits that they may be looking for and this is where Silver Labradors are meeting the mark. This breed of canine is very popular, especially in the USA.

There are some really nice lab puppies for sale California buyers will be able to find and people commonly call them "Labs" for short and due to being highly trainable are often utilized as service dogs. Top breeders do however warn that the energy levels are very high and proper training will be required. In truth though this could be applied to any breed and not just this one.

Some years ago, registration forms had an "other" option in the color section, which led to owners of charcoal labs being able to interpret the color of the coat in any way they pleased. As a result, those with a muted chocolate puppy ended up calling it silver instead of just brown. None the less the only three accepted shades that are recognized by a few breeders are brown, black or yellow.

Despite the unusual color these dogs portray the same loving playful and loyal temperament. As with any thoroughbred it is always best to purchase from a reputable registered kennel. Buying from a "backyard breeder" may result in an aggressive temperament and this is not acceptable in a home where children may be in attendance.

Genetics cannot prove these silvery Labs are not purebred, but there are a lot of other factors that need to be taken into consideration as well. Physical characteristics play the biggest role in distinguishing differences between dogs. Mainly visible things like size, build, shape of the ears and head are looked at and compared to set specifications.

Hunting instincts are embedded into every gene of a Lab Retriever and most love swimming. Understanding this side of the breed will give each person the heads up that loads of extra stimulation will be required by these pets. This breeches the topic of a not particularly funny habit of the breed and that is the need to dig holes.

Digging is the first sign of a bored Lab and the Chocolate colored ones seem to lean more towards this trait. There is no real explanation as to why this is the case anymore than where the silvery hues now found originated from. None the less, if it looks and acts like it is supposed to, then Silver Labradors is exactly what they are being described as.
