What is a charcol lab?

To the OP, do your research make sure the pup comes with all health clearances and guarantee from breeder.

Oh! right those:)

Kas has obviously given up trying to educate and I should too but I keep hoping there is a slim chance for the odd person to actually gain some knowledge from these topics.......Im probably flogging a dead horse but.....

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SILVER OR CHARCOAL LABRADOR... They are a bassturdization of the breed which occurs when some disreputable, low-life "breeder" crosses a Lab with a Weimerheimer, and somehow through sleight of hand and deceit, gets them registered as purebred, with the sole purpose of duping unsuspecting puppy buyers into paying ridiculous prices for inferior stock. THEY ARE NOT PURE BRED LABRADOR RETRIEVERS.

To the OP.......there have been enough recent threads on this topic that, if you do a bit of research, will tell you most of what you need to look for and the questions you need to ask when searching for in a reputable breeder.....good luck.

You beat me to it LG, Here is an excerpt directly from the CKC Breed Standard for Labrador Retriever

Color:
Wholly black, yellow or chocolate. Small white spot on chest
permissible. Yellows range from light cream to fox red with variations in
the shadings on ears, under parts, hocks, and down the back. Chocolates
range from light sedge to dark chocolate.
Pigmentation:
Black in blacks and yellows; brown or liver in chocolates.
Pigmentation fading to a lighter shade in yellows not to be penalized.

There is Absolutely no mention of "Silver" or "Charcoal" color in the breed. As also mentioned do your research, Be sure ALL the appropriate tests are done and both parents are CERTIFIED CLEAR of the following(which has been previously posted in another thread)

Have both parents been OFA certified for hips good or better?

Have both parents been OFA certified elbows clear?

Have both parents been tested for CNM and EIC?

Have both parents been tested for for hereditary eye disease?

All Labs are awesome but this is no reason to recommend a breeder unless ALL the above testing has been done. Has it?????

And guaranties are clear and in place.

A puppy is a lifetime commitment, make sure it's a long and healthy lifetime. Good luck in your search and enjoy the ride.
