which lab color to choose

Question

I am looking to get a lab and I prefer the look of the chocolate.

I have, however, had a lot of people tell me that the chocolate labs are dumb and nowhere near as smart as the black or yellow.

Is there any truth to this and if they are is it so significant that training would be a problem?

Answer

I only have experience with our black lab Tasha, however have researched this for you. From my findings I would definately say that even though people suggest that chocolate labs are less intelligent the literature shows nothing to prove this.

I think colour bares no influence on the intelligence of a dog. Intelligence will depend on the individual dog, his genes and the training provided.

I love chocolate labs, they are so cute!!

Does anyone own a chocolate lab? We would love to hear your thoughts :)

my choc lab puppy
by: Anonymous

i just bought a choc lab, shes 8 weeks old, shes very 'chewy' but absolutly gorgeous, she loves the children, all four of them, and of course they love her, when we took her home she wasnt a bit scared, she just fitted right in, like she'd always been here, the only problem is we are stuck on names, we were going along with the chocolate theme, eg. buttons, star ( majic) etc, so far got fudge but im still unsure, def didnt want co co, 99% of choc labs are called that lol! any ideas?

crazy toffee
by: Anonymous

toffee is very hyper and chews a lot, no time for cuddles with her, but shes soooo adorable, just hoping in time she will settle to be a calm caring dog, so far shes just crazy lol, she 12 weeks and already tripled her size since we got her at 8 weeks! ive found if i make her sit on my lap and stroke her, she eventually settles a bit!
