If you want a crossbred Silver lab just buy the Weimaraner and be done with it

A lot of old school guys thought that. It turns out to not be true but for years and years, only blacks ran field trials. There is no, zero, none, difference due to coat color.
Btw - THERE IS ONLY 3 COLORS OF LABS - BLACK, YELLOW, CHOCOLATE. Silver, red, etc. all fall into one of those.

I am not a fan of animals bred for appearances only. Getting a pup is kinda a crap shoot on personality already, taking an animal where the number 1 most desirable characteristic is coat color makes me wonder if other non desirable characteristics are being ignored.
I have been around a lot of these reds, whites, and one silver, I see a lot of disappointed owners.
The absolute two best dogs I have seen lately are both blacks that came from a local person that breeds occasionally. I am in line and guarding it closely, as they are cheap and they are probably only putting out one more litter.

I don't disagree with you totally. But there is something to be said about the countless superior black genetics in the FT world compared to the lack thereof with the other two colors. Yes, there are great Chocolates and Yellows, but......nothing compares to the proven success of the blacks.

If you really want to get technical, red labs came before yellow in the AKC breeding stock. And there are two types of yellow labs a true yellow (lack of a better description) and a Dudley. Dudley's are actually a descendent of Choco's, they are not as highly coveted as pure yellows. They are recognizable by there pink pigmentation at birth. There are many color variations of yellows which includes red and white, maybe even silver I'm not sure.
But if you read about silver Labs, they are not highly regarded as pets or working dogs.

Dudley = no Bueno

Silvers also can have wiemerriemer (sp?) in them.
Dudleys I thought were dq'd from trials and shows. Something about a lack of being pure bred or something.

Buy whatever color or type of dog that you want, but make sure to find a responsible breeder that is doing the right tests and guarantee their litters for at least two years. You can buy a black, yellow, or chocolate that have crappy genetics and you will have the same issues. Do your homework and find a good breeder that doesn't take any short cuts.

This thread is killing me....
Please stop with the "Silver" Lab nonsense.
The consistent breeders in the Eukanuba and Westminster crew would laugh anyone out of the room with their silver lab crap.
It is a sad state of affairs in the Lab community when assholes with less than reputable breeding stock, breeding pedigrees, and all around dick off blood lines try to peddle silver-labs as anything other than half breed-bastard weimeraner dogs....
Sorry but call Kendall Herr at Dickendall Labs and ask for a Silver. Or look her kennel up in any Labrador Book in Barnes and Nobles or Amazon.
Dickendall Labradors
The amount of ignorance regarding Labradors on this board is appalling.

Why are you so mad bro

I assume you are just replying to the thread and not me directly. The AKC Standard for colors in Labs is:
Simply put - three (3) colors only.
I am not sure I have ever heard off Dickendall Labradors my labs have historically come from Candlewoods' stock or other FC/AFC bred dogs.
My last dog was from this guy - Izzy
It looks like Dickendall likes the show ring more than athletic dogs. I don't care for show dogs much I care about confirmation, but I want my dog to be an athlete.

Color: The Labrador Retriever coat colors are black, yellow and chocolate. Any other color or a combination of colors is a disqualification. A small white spot on the chest is permissible, but not desirable. White hairs from aging or scarring are not to be misinterpreted as brindling. Black Blacks are all black. A black with brindle markings or a black with tan markings is a disqualification. Yellow-Yellows may range in color from fox-red to light cream, with variations in shading on the ears, back, and underparts of the dog. Chocolate-Chocolates can vary in shade from light to dark chocolate. Chocolate with brindle or tan markings is a disqualification.

We have a black lab with a small white chest patch, apparently border collie %age. He really is a very sweet family type dog, never bites, is obedient in most cases, and is very smart. He is 6+ yrs old and is quite assertive around other dogs.
He tries to leg hump every new visitor, gets excited over delivery trucks (UPS, FEDEX, etc.), and chews the hell out of crocs.

Amen. I wish I could give you more up votes.
I've owned a yellow and a black. Yellow was a beast of a retriever, smart and loving. The black was sweet, loving but not driven like the yellow. Currently have a chocolate that came from a silver dad. Sweet as can be and retrieves well.
I refuse to recognize silvers as a pure lab. If I would have wanted a Weimaraner I would have bought one.

100% this ^^^^^

A croc chewer had to be 100% Lab.

+1 Color is irrelevant
My current chocolate is a wonderful dog and smart.
I have seen chocolates that are batshit crazy.
My previous yellow was smart but was like a bull in the China shop.he had no awareness of his size.
Point is when the only trait you are breeding into your bloodline is coat color you do so at the expense of other traits such as temperament and intelligence.

Well, it's always good when people post crap to show they are just making stuff up.
