So, who knows! All I know is that they are GoRgEoUs and I would love to have one!  But, I guess the people on labradortalk feel the way about the silver labradors as we yorkie lovers feel about the Chocolate yorkies or red legged yorkies....some people LOVE them, but they are not bred for the betterment of the breed, you know? Lots of controversery about them in the labrador community. When the time comes for me to get a labrador, I will talk to the breeders I found on the Internet who breed them and see what they have to say and then decide for myself whether I want one or not. But definately look at that website! I think they are GORGEOUS!! That website is a breeder in Texas. Tell me what you think after you look at it.  |
I defintely will look tomorrow
And I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have some Weimeraner in them somewhere back in time - those dogs are gorgeous too! Texas, huh? Well, you know you have to pretty much drive through my neck of the woods headed that way (unless they are in south TX) so you will have to stop on your way out and we'll have lunch and you'll have to stop on your way back so I can see the new baby - provided that's the direction you head in your lab search
