Question
We purchased a yellow lab this week-end.
She is the beautiful yellow golden color but her nose is brown and her eyes are green.
Could she be a mix between a yellow and a brown lab. We were not given papers given a guarantee she is a yellow lab.
Do yellow labs have brown noses and green eyes?
We love her no matter what but I was just curious.
Answer
According to the breed standard description taken from the AKC, yellow labs should have a black nose and choc labs have the brown noses.
Eye colour should be brown on yellow labs and brown or hazel on choc labs.
It does sound like a mix of the 2 doesn’t it? Either way your lab sounds absolutely gorgeous. We would love to see a picture of her 🙂

Question
Do all purebred labs have black noses and black mouths?
I had someone doubt the pedigree of our lab which we are told and shown papers that she is pure breed but her nose is not dark black (more brown) and her eyes and mouth are not the characteristic black framed.
Help anyone?
