What To Look For In Your Purchase Of Silver Labradors

By Rosella Campbell


The pet Labrador remains a popular choice of canines because of their gentle nature, athleticism, and beautiful appearance. Silver Labradors are rare, but are in demand as more people are drawn to the light grey coloration and hues that contribute to a unique appeal. There are a few steps that need to be taken when it comes to purchasing a pup that is of a healthy standard and provides the best possible fit within the home.

The silver colors develop when two grey dogs are bred together with the potential to produce other shades as well depending on the genetic make-up. It is described as a diluted chocolate version and is a pure bred line. There are many breeders who argue that the color results from a cross breed with the Weimaraner, but this is simply untrue and has resulted from a great deal of selective breeding measures in order to achieve the desired color.

The litter that is produced from a pair will largely depend on its genetics and does not include crossing it with another canine. In the 1950s the United States introduced the breed. If you are interested in purchasing a pup or older dog, it is important to ensure that you are buying a quality line.

For a well bred dog, search for sellers who are kennel club registered. This will provide peace of mind that you are receiving a pet that was bred according to the necessary standards including the maintenance of a pure bloodline. Health certification should be provided indicating its susceptibility to particular genetic disorders and to ensure that it has received the necessary vet check-ups.

Families interested in purchasing a new pup will need to search for breeders offering highly trainable canines. A reputable and knowledgeable seller will assist in raising well adjusted and balanced animals with a gentle nature that provides the perfect fit for a family environment. All Labradors must include a gentle temperament to ensure that it is compatible with all members.

It is important to take note of the fact that a different coat color will not have any influence on the temperament or health of a canine. Registration for the silver line will often state diluted brown or grey according to the necessary AKC regulations. One should always seek animals from a seller who is licensed and reputable to provide healthy pups.

Do not view pups on another premises away from the breeding pair as this will prevent you from viewing the environment the pets were raised in and the appearance of the parents. The dogs must be well socialized and should be raised in a suitable home. All health certificates should indicate that the puppy is at lower risk for various genetic diseases.

When looking for a pure bred pup, it is important to determine registered breeders providing the silver color line. Time should be taken to find reputable sellers who are readily available and will be able to provide pups of a high quality including health certification. Taking the necessary steps can ensure that the right breeder is contacted and beautiful silver labs purchased.
