What Color Is Your Labrador?

I'm really curious to hear what color your Labs are, if you are happy to share? (I've allowed multi-select for those of us with more than one Labrador Retriever in the family!)

I feel like I rarely see black Labs in the UK anymore (which biologically is surprising given it's a dominant gene!). I also used to see a lot of chocolate Labs, but now I would say at a very rough and unscientific guess that most of the working variety I meet are yellow or the darker fox red shade.


Fascinated to see how our Labs break down as a forum, and if you are happy to share vaguely where you are in the world as well that'd be awesome

 

Hi, I'm in North Yorkshire with a working black lab. Plenty of them around here

 

I'm very please to hear that, it's so strange how few I see here in the South!

 

I’m in North East Hants whilst the fox reds have increased greatly in numbers since we got Toby seven years ago there are still plenty of black labs around. I would say they are beginning to be outnumbered by yellows.I read somewhere that the darker yellows were popular in the 50’s-60’s especially as working dogs then black took over. Supply and demand I guess. Very few chocolate.

 

We were told ours is Fox Red, North Devon.

 

I don’t know when the name Fox red came in but it is a shade of yellow. Yellow labs range from almost white to the darkest gingery reddy brown colour.

 

North Yorkshire. 8 labs. All black

 

8 currently. They are working dogs (but pets and sofa snugglers first!).
Life is mayhem and rather muddy, but we're happy

 

Black is definitely the main colour in North Yorkshire. Many of them working. I live on a Moor top and often see them enjoying their job.
