Ok so me and the old lady been talking about getting a new dog for our lil girl to grow up around and for me to train to hunt also I figured I would get something out the deal lol . The crazy girl thinks we should get a lil inside dog, she is out her mind..I have two chocolate labs already but got sliver on my mind.. Well she agreed to another lab so I was wondering if any of yall on here know some good sliver lab breeders also good or bad idea I have? Any info would help.

The few I have been around were definitely not very bright. It seems to me any time a recessive gene such as silver color in a dominantly black breed exists, a lot of breeding back occurs. This doesn't create the best dog.Quit being prejudice & get her a black lab female. If mama wants something smaller get her a boykin. Terry & Poker are n love w/ theirs.

Thanks for the info migrator mama don't want black!!! She seen pictures of the sliver ones and fell In love... We talked about a Boykin also just guess we will see what happens soon...moving in the new house next month and will be looking for a puppy .. Maybe ddm and poker might be able to help with the boykins where the best place to get one?

Yeah every Boykin I've ever seen were extremely bright.

My buddies will fetch him a beer out the cooler, get th newspaper, do just about anything he wants it to beside teach basic english, and fetches ducks like its going out of style. Only hunted with her once but by the end of that hunt I was wanting a boykin

http://www.timberghostretrievers.com Guy has some great looking silvers. Hope this helps.

Capt, Silver labs are on the expensive side. I was looking to get one until I saw the price.
Cheapest I've seen was around $900. Not saying you can't afford one, just saying they are more expensive than the normal 3 colors.

Also there are 2 shades of silver now. One is a bright silver like a Wiem, and the other is more of a charcoal color.

Good luck either way.

If you think the Silvers look good, check out the Champange colored ones.

My buddy(mudfinder) has a silver he's one of the best dogs I've hunted with very smart and big as a horse lol his brother has a silver too, who is he brother of my buddy's dog he hunts good to but he was trained bya trainer my buddy trained his on his own

My brother in laws next door nieghbor has one and it seems real stubborn. It barks all the time and it generally doesnt look like it listens well. Its about 2yrs old now and just sits in its kennel and barks and barks....even when let out it runs around and barks at him when he is training with it.

I have been told that they were seriously in bred to get that color...not sure about it though. I do know they do not reconize the silver breed in i think AKC....or something like that...

When it comes to dogs, spend the money and buy a good blood line the rest is easy!

Captchaz...as u can see there's alot of haters out there on the silver lab breed none of which have any legitiment arguments or reasons for not liking the breed its all hear say. This breed has gone through tons of test to verify their purity none of which showed any unfavorable results. I say do your research and make your own decision.and remember any dogs only gonna be as good as the amount of time u spend with them. Just my 2cents

And they are recognized by the AKC

Well thanks everyone for the info on the sliver labs good to hear what y'all thought.... Well I been working strait time on the boat and haven't talked to my father in law Lately and he told my old lady not to say anything to me but after all this time and not seeing my female lab she just had 9 puppies...

Yes that would be "hating" because there is 0 scientific info to support your claim. If that's true you should make yourself an easy $100,000 proving all the silver breeders wrong. No one has yet to take up that offer

I'm not starting shit, nor am I going to get involved in the argument, just providing a few links to provide information for both sides to consider:

It is the parent club of each breed that determines the breed standard, not the AKC, as is commonly referenced in pro-silver lab sites. For labs, it is the "Labrador Retriever Club" that determines the standard. Here's there statement on the issue:

Here is the standard:

Quit being a shit-stick docott. If folks want silver labs let them feel good about them. I think silver labs got their start in AR...there is a lot of inbreeding in more than dogs there.

Chaz, keep you a fuzzy yellow female and let them girls love up on each other.

Get you a fucking pug and be done with it

Lawn's finished!

Docott is absolutely right on target.

Smoke and mirrors are gone. End of discussion.

Sorry, Mig I'm not from AR, but I lived there for a while...you may be right.

Agreed-Good place to end the discussion

Hey! You got that right...Jack!
