Can a chocolate and yellow lab have a black puppy?
"Do NOT breed a yellow and a chocolate. You will get what are called "dudleys". They will have no black pigmentation, so a pink nose, pink or yellow eyes, pink paw pads, etc. A chocolate and a yellow are incapable of having a black puppy, as neither carry a dominant black gene. " Whoever said that obviously doesn't know about Labrador genetics. My Chocolate lab and yellow father had 2 black puppies in their litter 4 days ago. There are TWO genes that determine labrador colour. One gene detemines the chocolate/black colour, one gene determines yellow colouring. In the each gene, there two alleles, if you like. Correctly, a chocolate lab can not carry the black gene as it is dominant and the chocolate gene is ressessive. The chocolate dog has to have 2 chocolate alleles. However, the yellow colouring gene is irrespective of the chocolate/black gene. If that gene has two ressessive yellow alleles, the dog WILL be yellow, regardless if it carries 1 or 2 black alleles in the first chocolate/black gene. If you don't yunderstand that, you do not have the knowledge to answer such a question and give people wrong advice. And my Lolas puppies are beautiful, by the way.
Can a yellow and a chocolate lab have chocolate puppies?
Um, no. One parent has to be a yellow Lab to do that. Actually, you are wrong. A chocolate and a black lab can have yellow puppies. I have had my chocolate female bred with a black male and they had all 3 colors. In fact, she even had a white male which white labs are rare.
Can two chocolate labs have a yellow lab?
yes my yellow lab has a mom that's a black lab and a dads that's yellow and they had black, yellow and Brown labs so you will get a mix NO. Two chocolate labs will ALWAYS have chocolate labs. Chocolates are double recessive which means they only carry the recessive chocolate Gene.

Are all chocolate labs brown?
Any... it depends on the parents' genes, not their coat colors. For example, two black labs could easily produce a litter that includes all three coats of black, chocolate, and yellow. Perhaps we could expect more black puppies than the other, as black is the main gene for each parent.
