"You agree in your own words with my statement!"
Is that a first?
I'm a big fan of the three standard colors in Labs. It's been awhile since I read up on silvers, but I seem to remember that there were some skin issues being introduced by focusing solely on that color in a breeding program. First breeder to report them happened to also be breeding Weimaraners..
I have no idea, I don't keep up with you and your positions.
It isn't just skin and medical issues. Breeding for colors has introduced weaker genes that effect a lot of the dogs behaviors and capabilities like drive, instinct, temperament, and also confirmation standards. Lab's outside of the Standard Black, Yellow, and Chocolate I would steer clear away from. They are novelties not gun dogs.
