Like with everything else, it's hereditary. So the color of both parents will play a role, and if either of THEIR parents had a different color, that will ALSO have some effect.Remember back in middle school and early high school when you had to do punnet squares? You can do a few of those, and find the chances of the puppies being a certain color. Remeber there are dominant and recessive colors.

Can a black lab have yellow puppies?

yep - think chocolate is a recessive gene - so one from each parent is needed for the colour to be expressed. The chocolate lab will have two recessive genes and only if the yellow lab carries the recessive and passes it on is there a chance of the colour coming through.
