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.

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 a lab have yellow and black and brown puppies or can they only have a certain color depending on the puppies parents?

Any color.


What kind of puppies will a chocolate lab and black lab have?

A chocolate lab and a black lab will typically have puppies that are black, chocolate, or yellow in color. The coat color and other physical traits will depend on the genetic makeup of the parents, as well as any underlying genes that may be present.


What does a yellow lab and choco lab cross look like?

If you breed a Yellow Labrador and a Chocolate Labrador they will produce solid chocolate puppies and solid Yellow puppies and Black puppies with the exception of a few white markings. No matter what color labs you breed they will always be pure unless you have a mixed breed or a completely different breed as the mother or father. Then it's up to the traits of that other breed.


What color puppies will a yellow labe have?

The puppies would be labs (like the mom and dad) ,but the color or colors would depend entirely on which color genes they received from each parent. The black color is dominant; the possibilities for a black puppy are EEBB, EEBb,EeBB, or EeBb. The possibilities for a yellow puppy are eeBB, eeBb, or eebb. Both EEbb and Eebb would produce a chocolate lab. So, to be yellow, the puppy must receive the 'e' gene from both parents, and to be chocolate, the puppy must have received the 'b' gene from both parents--any other combination will produce a black puppy. It should be noted that the combination of eebb will always produce a dog that is yellow, but that has chocolate pigmentation around its eye rims, and on its nose. This is not currently an 'accepted' color for registration with the AKC. Wait what would the majority of the puppies be? Black, yellow, or chocolate? There is also times where is a greyish color, but its rare. We had two black labs stay with us for several months. The female had 9 puppies, 5 were yellow labs, 4 were black, both parents were black labs.


What color puppies will come from a purebred golden retriever and a purebred chocolate lab?

You never know - could be golden/yellow, chocolate, or even black. These are two different dog breeds.


Is it possible for two yellow labs to have black puppies?

Yes. uhhh...no my friend.... 2 yellows will only have yellows and/or dudleys if the parents are chocolate factored.... why? because the parents are both yellow labs, they carry the ee alleles, therefore, they both can only pass on "e" to their offspring making all the offspring "ee" (yellow labs)....in order to be a black lab, they have to have at least 1 "B" and one "E" which the yellow labs do not have, so you'd have to bred a yellow with a chocolate or black lab to be able to get some black pups....hope this helps


How many puppies can a girl black lab and a brown boy have?

What will puppies look like if dad golden retriever and mom yellow lab if her mom was from chocolate line dad yellow and grandpa black?

The puppies will vary in appearance, but likely have a mix of traits from both breeds such as a golden retriever's longer coat and a lab's shorter coat. They may have a color range from yellow to golden, with potential for chocolate or black accents depending on the genetic influence from the grandparents.


Do black lab puppies get along with cats?

Yes, normally.


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.
