I think you mean a yellow lab don't you ?? Not a Golden Retriever/ Lab mix. Any lab breeder would have yellow pups, regardless of the color of the parents.
Canine Companions and other breeders of service dogs often crossbreed to get better service dogs. I think this is perfectly acceptable, as they are responsibly crossbreeding these dogs for a specific purpose. The dogs that do not make it into the program are neutered/spayed and adopted out (often to the puppyraiser). You may want to contact Canine Companions if you are interested in one of these dogs. The dogs that they adopt out are program "drop-outs" and are generally 1 1/2 to 2 years old. The "drop-outs" are not bad dogs, just dogs which are not quite cut out to be a service dog.
The AKC have breeder referal, and should be able to point you in the direction of a good breeder of labs in your area (or fairly close!)
just check out their website. AKC.org
I have seen many call them golden labs. Which gets rather confusing.
Cause there are no golden labs, or white labs, or silver labs. They are Yellow, Black, Chocolate.
Yeah I know thats the site I was talking about and it says they are registered as chocolate. But from what I have read the silver color is a recessive gene and it was the product of a lot of inbreeding. http://www.woodhavenlabs.com/silverlabs.html
Yep. Inbreeding at its best. Just like there is no BLACK golden retriever. But those byb's try to pawn them off. It's sad. And that's why so many of us are into rescues. I hope it continues, however, that we rescue more those that know no different and buy these "designer" breeds...
