A "silver" Labrador is dilute or lighter shade of a chocolate lab. In any case, no kennel club officially recognizes "silver" as a legitimate color for Labrador retrievers, so beware spending a large amount of money on a dog where the seller claims otherwise. In many cases, a silver Labrador Retriever is severely penalized if not disqualified from shows.

The Labrador Retriever is the most popular dog breed in the world. They were originally bred as hunting dogs and their job was to retrieve fowl that had fallen to the ground, hence the word "retriever" in their name. Labrador Retrievers come in three coat colors: black, yellow and chocolate. The yellow labs are sometimes called "golden" labs, but this is a misnomer. "Golden Labs" are a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Labrador Retriever. The links below are to websites with in depth information about Labrador Retrievers.

Yes, silver labs are the same as Silver Labrador Retrievers. They are considered to be very nice, cute, and friendly animals (basicaly like all labradors). So yes, they are exactly the same thing.
