Silver Labrador Retriever Puppies For Sale Complete Your Family

By Jeannie Chapman


Some families feel they aren't complete without the putter-patter of paws galloping across floors at top speed all hours of the day and night. Before traveling to a breeder, there are a few questions to ask yourself regarding your family's daily habits. Honest answers about large and small details of everyone in the home will help a family choose the best silver labrador retriever puppies for sale.

Although the AKC, American Kennel Club of America, does not identify this dog color as a retriever, a shiny gray lab is a true bird dog with strong bloodlines. Their reasoning behind the non-endorsement is their certification of chocolate color, which encompasses several shades including a glossy gray. This in no way diminishes the validity of such a breed.

Even if the AKC doesn't have a separate category for this color, Retriever groups around the world hold them to a high standard. They consent to three colors: factored-silver, light and charcoal. Chocolate, yellow and black make up the factored colors, which come from a true silvery parent although the puppy could be of a different color. This does not preclude the pup from siring an offspring of shiny grays; they would simply need to breed with a pure silver-gray or another factored dog that carries the gene.

One myth surrounding the colorization of this breed is the introduction of Weimeraner into their past. Such a theory could have stood throughout time if it weren't for diligent scholars working at a US college for veterinary medical care of dogs. They found the core genetics in Weimeraners is not even close to those in the shiny labs.

Purchasing a new pup should not be taken lightly and not something you can simply clip a coupon for. A fee will not determine a bloodline, the existing or future health or the behavior and temperament. Trustworthy and dependable breeder who is willing to show you their complete operation is going to provide the best dogs.

Retrievers are not suited for apartment or small house life. Males grow to 75 to 110 pounds or more and females can range in weight from 60 to 85 pounds. They're all muscle and like to play, rough. Labs like to have something to do, they need a job to keep them busy or your furniture, shoes, clothes and other off-limit items become their daily destroy duty.

AKC organizes labs with other sporting dogs. Back in the early and mid-1800s, retrievers first appeared in Newfoundland alongside commercial fishermen. Their job was to help them retrieve escaping fish as the nets were pulled up from the waters. As the years went by, the Newfoundland retrievers were bred with Spaniels, other Retrievers and Setters. What today's lab is able to do is recover shot game or small animals while on hunt with their owners.

If you are adopting a dog, look into silver labrador retriever puppies for sale. A lab is one of the most trustworthy, gentle and devoted dogs there are today. You and your family will not only feel safe, you will have so much fun and endless love from a wonderful companion.
