Suzi! I've changed my mind re: Labradors

Ok, so Suzi (magnolia) graciously offered to help me find 2 labrador retrievers when we are ready to add on to our furfamily. At first I thought I wanted a white labrador and a dark brown, liver, colored labrador. Then someone told me about SILVER labradors! Suzi, have you heard of these?? Well, I looked them up on the Internet and they are Absolutely GoRgEoUs!!!!!!!!! I think I want one of these now!!!!!!!! I think I've decided on WHITE and SILVER!!!!!

Here is the link to the SILVER labradors that I think are just stunning:

Here's a link to some beautiful WHITE labradors:

If I am correct, silver labradors came from chocolate ones. I LOVE labs, but so many people have them that I want a lab that is different, you know?? Silver ones are DEFINTALY different. Our friend was telling us about them and I looked them up on the Internet and they are GORGEOUS! I can't wait to get one!

I've never seen/heard of the silver labs before. I would open the link but my stupid computer at home is s.............o.....................s............. ......l......................o.................... ....................w!!! So I'll open the links at work in the morning to look at them. Are they on the "rare" side? By that I mean, is it a "guarantee" to get silver or "luck of the litter"? If it's on the rare side, not sure if any of the guys I know here in town has a female that will throw a silver....but I can ask If they don't have a female that has ever had one, they might know someone who does. Like I said before, when you're ready, I'll do all I can to help you find that special, unique baby You're a lot like me - wanting what no one else has, being different!!

It seems that the people who breed silver labs ONLY breed silver ones. The silver labs are born silver so they know for sure that it will be silver/stay silver/guarantee that it'll be silver. I posted a thread on labradortalk about the silver labradors and the 2 people who posted a reply seem to think that a silver lab is a cross between a lab and a weimeraner (maybe not directly, but at least somewhere in the lineage there is a weimeraner), and thus not a true labrador, even though they can be registered with the AKC and the sites that sell the silvers guarantee that they are 100% lab. 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.
