Labrador Retrievers

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.

Perhaps the breed that most resembles the Labrador Retriever is the Golden Retriever, both sharing a similar appearance and personality. However, these two breeds are actually distant descendants. The Labrador Retriever is bred down from the now-extinct Lesser St. John's Dog, while the Golden Retriever is the result of a cross of the Flat-coated Retriever and the now-extinct Tweed Water Spaniel, mixed with other breeds in its ancestry such as the Irish Setter and the Bloodhound.

Some other breeds that look like the Labrador Retriever are the Flat-coated Retriever, Curly-coated Retriever and Chesapeake Bay Retriever. However, the Lab's closest relative is the Newfoundland. Although now having a very different size, they both probably descended from St. John's Dog.

it can be yellow but it also h the possibity of ending up black or brown. but it will most probably end up yellow.

the oldest lab age would be 15 but normally its 13

What's the difference between science and technology?how are they related?

A lot, especially if they are young. I think that people see the grown dogs and think how sweet and docile they are but as pups they are hyper and mischevious and will get into anything and everything so they need plenty of exercise and constant stimulation, if they get bored they get destructive. They are very intelligent dogs which is why they are trained as companions and special needs dogs but it's that intelligence which can get them into trouble as pups.

look, no matter what you think, you don't need to look hot. just be yourself and have fun. what's the point in trying to be someone your not when you can be yourself, right down to the last detail.

All dogs belong to the genus, species, and subspecies "Canis lupus familiaris." In other words, dogs are a subspecies of wolf ("Canis lupus"). Scientifically or in terms of taxonomy, breeds of dogs are not separate subspecies at all since all breeds have the potential of producing offspring with any other breed (and with wolves, actually). Thus, there is no formal scientific nomenclature for any breed, such as Labrador retriever.

In part, this is because breeds are not only genetic but also (human) cultural.

In the United States, purebred Labrador retrievers can come in three colors called black, chocolate, and yellow. (There is no such thing as a "silver" or "golden" Labrador.) Labradors are classified as Sporting Dogs by the AKC (called Gundogs in the U.K.). They originated in the 1700s in what is now Newfoundland from a breed that is now exctinct called the St. Johns Dog or Water Dog. Labradors are closely related to Newfoundlands (Newfies).

Labrador Retrievers will open their eyes 25-36 days after birth.

Contributors have said that they think the cutest breed of dog is:

Border Collie

Boxer

Chihuahua

German Shepherd

Jack Russell Terrier

Shiba Inu

Yorkshire Terrier

Siberian Husky

Labrador Retriever

Golden Retriever

Great Dane

Silky Terrier and Dachshund

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

A matter of personal opinion:

Chihuahua, Maltese, Shiz Tzu, Yorkshire Terrier, or a Pomeranian

Maltese and Pomeranian are the best.

A purebred black Labrador came into our local veterinary office that weighed 239 lbs.

We had a border Collie on 4.5 acres and it was not enough space for a healthy environment for the dog he needed more space to run and exercise he became lethargic and listless we finally gave him to a friend with over 30 acres and he perked up tremendously he explores every inch of the property and when we visit he shows his appreciation for our decision to allow him enough space to live the way a Border Collie should!!

Like most dogs, Labradors are counted seven years as they live one year. For example, if you had your labrador for three years it would be 21 years old in human years. My dog is two so he is actually 14.

Most older dogs get fatty lumps they are usually harmless, best to have the vet aspirate them to be on the safe side.

Labrador retrievers come in only 3 recognized colors, black, chocolate and yellow. Fox red, snow and silver are just color variation of yellow labrador Retrievers. For more information on the breed check the Akc site for the breed. http://www.akc.org/breeds/labrador_retriever/index.cfm

Golden Labradors are no diffrent from Chocolate or Black labradors. And labradors used to be used as Gundogs but nowadays as Family Pets or Guide Dogs. ( Who help the blind.)

It depends on how many times they have gotten ... screwed...

It depends on a few things! # Is the pointer you have at the moment neutered? If you get a male puppy you should consider having one or both of them neutered to prevent any possible competition/rivalry between them. Although neither of these breeds are aggressive, there are often serious fights over territory and possessions between two unneutered males. But if one dog is neutered then the other will become the alpha dog and you won't have this rivlary between them! # If you were to get a female you may also need to consider neutering one or both of your pets! You may end up with accidental puppies! If you want cross bred puppies then this could be an option. If not though, you would need to be very aware of when you're female is on heat and keep your pets apart at this time.

A dog's cycle varies depending on the dog. Most dogs are in heat for about three to four weeks. The bleeding will last anywhere from 3 to 14 days. After the bleeding stops the dog can still get pregnant for about two weeks.

I obtained my male golden retriever when he was 13 months old. He was a surrendered pup from a family that found him too much work. Lucky for me they decided to do so. He came to me with a full coat. I belong to a golden retriever dog forum and the breeder was surprised to see his full coat. So, I believe it depends on the individual dog. My dog, Farley, has an awesome coat. I have no idea about his breeding but he obviously has great parents. I was surprised to find that he doesn't take a whole lot of grooming either. A good brushing once a week seems to be enough. His tail and leg feathers are lush and full and he will be going to the groomer soon to get trimmed up a bit for the summer. Can't wait to see him swimming.

Most likely not. You can check with your vet, but the pups would probably be large enough to damage your chihuahua during gestation.

I have a lab cocker mix and she looks like a short labrador. she had the cocker eyes and sometimes spitefull attitude, and lab length fur but waved from the cocker in her. very good loyal well behaved dogs.

No, they usually do not. White spots on the chest, tail, or paws points towards a mixed breed. You may want to check with your breeder or vet if the dog was supposed to be pure-bred.
