The Labrador Retriever Club Inc. do not recognize "silver" as a color. There are many theories as to "how" a dilute gene was introduced into the gene pool...but no matter which way you look at it the facts are: "silver" is a recessive gene -- along with it comes other unwanted recessive traits -- and -- in my opinion, no reputable breeder will ever produce a "silver" Labrador. The Labrador Retriever Club Inc. takes the following stance in regards to "silver" Labradors: SILVER LABRADORS There is no genetic basis for the silver gene in Labradors. The silver color is a disqualification under the Standard for the breed. The LRC does not recognize, accept or condone the sale or advertising of any Labradors as a silver Labrador. The Club opposes the practice of registering silver as chocolate. |
