I have a rescue silver. I have mainly had Labradors and grew up with them. The reason I was chosen by the rescue to have my beautiful boy was because my previous dog was a Weimaraner so I had experience with them. I didn’t say anything as he clearly needed a stable, calm, new home and I knew I could give it to him. I have been stopped a few times with mainly positive opinions, but once I was told he should have been put down as it was detrimental to the breed and another time I was told that he was a mongrel and I was scammed. I don’t care what he is. He is my dog, we have a lovely life together and we are working hard to help with some of the damage he suffered in his early life.

In reply to Dog Mom. That's not actually correct. Silver is formally recognized by the AKC. They used to register silver labs as silver. They switched to registering as chocolate after studying the issue, but AKC's official position is that silver is a shade of chocolate, and when owners call to ask what color to register their silver pups, they are told chocolate.

Silver is not a color recognized by the Labrador parent club or the AKC standard. Labradors come in 3 colors- yellow, black and chocolate.
