Tips For Buying Silver Labradors

By Rosella Campbell


The pet Labrador remains a popular choice of canines because of their gentle nature, athleticism, and beautiful appearance. Silver Labradors are rare, but are in demand as more people are drawn to the light grey coloration and hues that contribute to a unique appeal. There are a few steps that need to be taken when it comes to purchasing a pup that is of a healthy standard and provides the best possible fit within the home.

Silver coloration results from the mix of two grey dogs that are able to produce the lighter blue shade with other common colors. It is often considered to be a light chocolate range that is part of a thoroughbred line. A number of breeders have argued that the particular canine coloring results from a Weimaraner crossing or through inter-breeding; however, it is an independent shade that involves strict breeding requirements.

The litter that is produced from a pair will largely depend on its genetics and does not include crossing it with another canine. In the 1950s the United States introduced the breed. If you are interested in purchasing a pup or older dog, it is important to ensure that you are buying a quality line.

For a well bred dog, search for sellers who are kennel club registered. This will provide peace of mind that you are receiving a pet that was bred according to the necessary standards including the maintenance of a pure bloodline. Health certification should be provided indicating its susceptibility to particular genetic disorders and to ensure that it has received the necessary vet check-ups.

Families interested in purchasing a new pup will need to search for breeders offering highly trainable canines. A reputable and knowledgeable seller will assist in raising well adjusted and balanced animals with a gentle nature that provides the perfect fit for a family environment. All Labradors must include a gentle temperament to ensure that it is compatible with all members.

It is important to take note of the fact that a different coat color will not have any influence on the temperament or health of a canine. Registration for the silver line will often state diluted brown or grey according to the necessary AKC regulations. One should always seek animals from a seller who is licensed and reputable to provide healthy pups.

One should always view the puppies on the premises where the breeding pair resides as this will provide an indication of a healthy environment and the overall health of the parents. Determine the levels of socialization the pups have had with other people and animals. Check the health certification and ensure that the pups being purchased are at lower risk for the development of genetic diseases.

In the search for pups that are purebred, one should contact registered breeders who specialize in the silver coloration. A fair amount of time will need to be invested with regards to research and health requirements of the puppies of interest. One should contact breeders who can advise on the best possible quality canines for the purchase of Silver Labs.
