On another board there was a discussion about Lab colors. One poster quoted a website that said there were FOUR colors of Labs.
I have posted the quote from the website here.
"Well, that’s where genetics comes in. But before we get into all of that, did you know Labs come in 4 colors? Yep, and I’m not talking about the “designer” dogs in silver or polar bear white. You’ve probably even seen all 4 colors and didn’t realize it.
So what are they? Well, there’s black. No surprise there. There’s also chocolate. Again, no surprise. Then we get to the yellow. Yellow has a “yellow” coat –with shades from pale cream to rich fox red—but they also have a black nose and eye rims. The fourth color looks like a yellow at first glance, but they have a chocolate nose and eye rims. These are called Dudleys and they carry the genes for both chocolate and yellow."
So, what do you think? Misleading? Intentionally misleading? Or just doesn't have a clue?
