By Gwen Lowe


Silver, or gray Labradors, are still registered as chocolate variety, thanks to the fact the breed standard describes chocolate as ranging in shade from sedge to chocolate. It might be a little bit confusing, but these are pure breed Labs, and it is only a matter of time before they will be recognized by their own separate color. In any case, you will probably find Silver Labrador retriever puppies for sale in your area.

Labradors are maybe the most popular breed in the USA, but silver Labs are still quite rare. These dogs are especially loyal and intelligent, good-nature and always eager to please. Their extraordinary characteristics make them just ideal family dogs, but also retrievers, watchdogs and service dogs. In one word, they excel in everything they do.

Silver Labs have very attractive blue eyes and very interesting coat color. The breed comes from Newfoundland, but it was developed in England. There are two different varieties recognized today, and the American Lab is smaller, more energetic and slimmer, while the English Lab looks heavier and is a little bit less active. In any case, both varieties are intelligent and have very nice nature.

Males can reach up to twenty four inches and approximately seventy five pounds, but they can get much heavier as well. Some dogs can have even one hundred pounds, especially males. Females are smaller, usually. The problem is that Labs might have health problems if they get too much weight, for example with their hips or elbows.

They adore water and enjoy swimming, and you can give them a bath if they get very dirty. You can also use some gentle dry shampoo, but not too often.

If you take a very good care about your dog, it will live at least twelve years.

If you live in an apartment, long walks are even more important. These dogs are very active when outdoors, and you have to give them an opportunity for training.
