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. So it’s essentially a mutt? 😂 I had never heard of a silver Labrador before either.

Yeah, the Silver labs apparently carry the "dilute" gene that lightens the brown coat of a chocolate lab. The question is whether they got that gene by having an existing gene that was uncovered by inbreeding, or by having a little Weimaraner ancestry? On the other hand, this guy who is one of the first Silver Lab breeding kennels, describes the first as the produce of a Chocolate/Chocolate cross in a 1/4 Silver:3/4 Chocolate or Yellow which is what you'd expect if two dogs carrying a recessive dilute gene were bred. The AKC admits it can't prove Weimaraner ancestry, but nonetheless says that Silver is not an allowed color for labs. https://www.thelabradorsite.com/silver-labradors/#dilute Silver labs still exist and have been around since the '80s.

After reading a bit more about it, my betting would be on a recessive gene uncovered by inbreeding in the first kennel that publicized them, and that other kennels were seeing the occasional silver lab and kept quiet about it, either culled the puppy (killed it) or quietly gave it away as a pet. 3 hours ago, CSBill said: I think it's supposed to return in the fall.

The Labrador Retriever Club apparently thinks that somebody slipped in a mixed bred puppy or puppies into the registry but they couldn't prove it in the 1980s, so they had to register the dogs. It might not have even been the first breeder to have a silver lab puppy but somebody who registered a mixed bred ancestor. It's also possible that the dilute gene that causes the "silver" color was just a random mutation. Prior to DNA testing, registering non-purebreds as purebreds if they looked like purebreds was uncommon but not as rare we'd like to think. This was always done for economic gain: a purebred animal, ie, registered animal, has much more monetary potential than a non-registered one. The purpose of registering animals is to record their lineage, and the purpose of breed competitions in conformation or performance is to improve the breed. Silver labs can't be shown in AKC conformation classes, so breeders who deliberately breed them aren't interested in improving their dogs, but putting money in their pockets. This kind of unscrupulous behavior in slipping non-purebreds into registries with false parentage happened frequently not only in dog breeding but also in horse breeding, especially in breeds like Quarter Horses where excessive body white or Appaloosa coloring weren't allowed. DNA testing can weed out puppies or foals with a non-purebred parent but it can't point to which ancestor was non-purebred. If the parents are the parents, then the puppy or foal has to be registered. The breed club/registry doesn't have to allowed that animal to compete in any or all breed events, however. That's the status of silver labs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. You must have your hands full keeping that working dog entertained.
