Josh Allen's puppy


Beerball

Recommended Posts

There is no such thing as a "silver backed" Lab.   It looks like a Weimaraner puppy (they come in tan and silvery gray commonly called "blue"), hence the name "Sky" I would assume. 

 

Many breed characteristics aren't well defined in young puppies, so you often go by color especially when the color is unique to only certain breeds.  The vet identified my cattledog (Blue Heeler)/Aussie shepherd mix as an Aussie shepherd at 8 weeks old because of his blue merle coloring.  As he grew, his cattledog characteristics emerged.  His size, color, and hair are about the only Aussie Shepherd traits.  Otherwise he looks and acts like a large cattledog.

Sky?  Why is Allen not honoring the Bills in naming his adorable pup?

Because “Doug Whaley set this team back and Kyle Orton belongs on the Wall” was too long of a name for the pedigree papers.

You should consider googling silver lab. They are adorable pups/dogs. Sky is most def not a whinereiner.

 

The name Sky is a nod to Allen’s college days in Big Sky Country.

Is there some kind of contest to see who can start the most useless threads around here?

It's been going on for years and years. In fact, two of the biggest culprits are in this very thread

I didn’t think of that, but Big Sky Country is Montana, not Wyoming.  So I think they just like the name.

As opposed to those of us who just clutter up other threads with the same stuff

I had to go back a second time and check, but there is a dog in the story…..

 

 

Some poor writing/editing as well (“who they have been together since their high school days in California”), but who am I to have high standards?  🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the tip.

 

I did google "Silver Lab" and came up with information from the AKC - in short 3 colors of labs yellow, black and chocolate.

So... Google says - Weimaraner 🧐

They are nothing alike. Because it is not recognized by the AKC has no bearing on whether the dogs exist.

 

They do exist.

I can call a Sheltie a Colie but it doesn't make it so...

And yet there is white, red/fox, and silver as well.

Silver labs aren't considered legitimate Labrador Retrievers.   They can be registered and compete in AKC events like obedience or field trials but they can't be shown in the breeding conformation classes. They were only allowed to be registered as chocolate labs because the earliest dogs with this color were presented for registration with the AKC before the advent of DNA parentage testing, so there was no proof that the dogs weren't purebred.  See the statement from the Labrador Retriever Club here: Silver Labs.

 

Josh Allen went to Wyoming not Montana.

The exclusion of anything Bills related in the name is a clear sign of a contract dispute. He is going to hold out and force a trade to the Brooklyn Nets. 

I am not sure the Bills should offer him a contract extension, this shows a serious lack of commitment to the team.

Never mind all that...did the 'Dream Team' (what's left of them) at all influence the AKC?
