Silver Lab


Chocolate (brown) Lab

Has any DNA testing ever been done to determine if a weimerwarner is in its background ? Sorry for the spelling .lol

[HoytG3]

Nope. I certainly wouldn't spend the money on DNA to ensure any dogs true breed. We don't breed silver labs or any labs to make money. She's a pet as you can see who will hold her own in the field. What more can you ask for.

I didn't ask you to do the DNA test I just asked if any breed club or organization did.

I find this topic interesting because it makes me wonder if all breed founders and early pioneers were subject to as much scrutiny as anyone trying to create their own breed nowadays.

From what I have seen over the years of dog forums is that there was a period in history when it was acceptable for new breeds to emerge but that time has since past and it will never be acceptable in the future.

Yes there has been DNA testing done. If you do a google search on that you will find your answer. But you can only base your opinion on what you read. Both pros and cons on whether Silver Labs truly exist. Im not into the scientific breakdown on labs to be the expert. I know what I have laying on the couch right know. She retrieves geese along side the chocolate and will blood trail deer. But with that being said, you can train any dog to do what you want. Right!

They probably didn't have shelters and pounds over run with unwanted dogs back then.

Your right on that. Unwanted dogs were dealt with.

one of the kennels in the States breeding "silvers" was caught with visla dna in the dogs.
