Silver Lab Puppies For Sale Are Winning Hearts
Like Labs in the more regular shades Silver Lab puppies for sale are people pleasers. No wonder the breed has topped the yearly American Kennel Club list of popular dogs yet again. A 22 year winning streak in this popularity contest speaks for itself.
A better way to describe this shade is as a chocolate with silvery tinting. The AKC registers this uncommon hue in the chocolate category. In fact, AKC registers all such dilutes under their respective standard colors. There are people who contend a Weimaraner ancestor is producing this tint. There are other breeds mixed in Labrador ancestry. But, evidence suggests it was produced by chocolate parents. This is the reason the pure breed registry is accepting it. Another related canine species created in the United States has a similar shade produced by brown colored dogs.
This American relation is the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, originally bred in Maryland. A silvery brown shade exists in this retriever. Chesapeakes have been developed from domestic retriever breeds and 2 Newfoundlands. They were actually bred in America during the period the English were breeding Labradors from their own breeding stock of Newfoundlands. The domestic retrievers mixed in the American breed were the Curly and Flat Coated Retrievers and the English Otter Hound. The Chesapeake has also entered the Labrador bloodline . Records indicate at least two Chesapeake ancestors of present day Labradors.
Sharp observers have noticed the current Labrador lineage shows increasing diversity. They point to apparent variations in different breeding lines. There are people who do not agree this hue is a variant of a standard color. But, this variance should have been anticipated. Earlier interbreeding with Chessies may also have played some role in the frequent recurrence of this gene.
The Canadian origin of Labradors and the Chessies is from the St. Johns Water Dog. This dog species was bred in Newfoundland. The working dog species was created in the early sixteenth century by settlers through informal breeding. Its bloodline is cloaked by an unrecorded historical past. However, it is thought to have some mixture of Portuguese, English and Irish working breeds.
Labrador ancestral records from 1939 reveal the breed was first documented that year. The breeding programs of the Earls of Malmesbury and Dukes of Buccleuch established the foundation stock. During the 1800s they worked on building up what they started. The lineage of present day Labs can be linked to Avon and Ned, 2 sires belonging to the Buccleuch breeding program. Later on the breed made its way to the United States.
Black was the first color recorded in England. After initial rejection of yellow, this color was eventually officially accepted. The same pattern followed with the eventual acknowledgement of the chocolate hue. Silver labs were initially born from Chocolate parents carrying two recessive genes. The crossing of Silver dilutes has replicated this shade in succeeding litters.
The growing popularity of this rare dilute has encouraged breeders to market Silver Lab puppies for sale. Breeders are not worried about the color controversy. They have confidence that at some point this tint will be acknowledged exactly the same way yellow and chocolate were finally accepted. The controversy over the origin of this hue has also not affected its appeal. Owners of these puppies already know, they share the renowned Labrador temperament with dogs who do reflect the exact breed standards colors.
