Chocolate Labrador Retriever Puppy

D Dog Fan | April 11th, 2008

I have to tell you, my ultimate favourite Lab color is the chocolate brown color. I have a neighbor, who regulalry walks her chocolate Lab in my street, and at times like that I am almost green with envy; I so want one for myself as well!Did you know that brown labs were culled in the late 19th century, because only the black and yellow ones were acceptable according to the breed standard? Chocolate ones and the even rarer silver-colored puppies were culled. Tragedy!!! I call that canine racism!!

A Labrador Retriever Poem

MY HEART BELONGS TO MY LABRADOR RETRIEVERS

Labrador Retrievers
Share my life,
A beauty of a breed-
Courageous and protective,
Yet gentle as can be.

Active dogs that love to play,
With friendly, loving ways-
Sure to fill the house with fun,
And brighten all my days.

My Labrador Retrievers
Are friends that can’t be beat,
Being loved by these big “Labs”
Makes my life complete.
