Then someone posts a picture of a fit looking one so i said "Nice".......Might just be me but i'm not sure where the problem is there?Colour really doesn't come into it but most chocolate Labs seem to be owned as pets and you dont see many working..............

wyeman 803 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) It's a fact that the retriever championship has never been won by a Chocolate. I cannot think of any top field trial trainer that run on Chocolate Labs., so there must be a difference, Edited June 28, 2012 by wyeman Quote Link to post
barraboy 28 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 there was a chocolate in the championship couple of years ago. there are a few out their being trialed, but to be fair blacks dominate the lab world [the rise of the fox red might alter that] they dominate the trials world and thus the stud, plus black is also a dominate gene so dogs carrying chocolate and black genes are generally going to throw black pups. colour is not really that important, but it can be a self fulfilling prophecy. the best dogs are black therefore i best get a black dog.........

barraboy 28 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 FTW Otterbridge Eagle too i feel once there's a couple of ftch chocolates entering the stud world the stigma attached to them will perhaps fade a little. sadly the popularity of pet chocs has pretty much damned them before they've begun Quote Link to post
Marty_J 1 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I've always had black Labs and never rated chocolate ones. Then I got offered a 2 year old last year took the chance and never regretted it. Quote Link to post

barraboy 28 Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 in my experience on gun dog forums calling trialing dogs robot dogs generally signals a barrage of counter arguments, i generally stay clear of that debate, hence ducking for cover but maybe its not going to over here.
