We think all Labradors are gorgeous. Whether they have a pedigree spanning the generations or are cross-bred with the collie next door, we love them all the same.

 Although black, chocolate and yellow are the sole official shades, we all know that Labradors have a vast and wonderful variety of hues.
From white, to fox red and even silver.
Some of these may be controversial, and even argued against or denied as being true Labradors.
But even the staunchest ‘official colours only’ supporter has to admit that the range of colours that come under the heading ‘yellow’ are really something to behold.

Variation in Colour

Yellow Labradors are all classed as yellow, whether they are in fact palest white or darkest fox red.  
We have been having a look at some gorgeous examples of this wonderful colour variety.

17. But I think we can all agree, whatever the shade, that Yellow Labradors are really stunning dogs.

I know all of these had stolen my heart as soon as I saw them on the screen.

Labrador Names: Hundreds of Great Ideas to Help You Name Your Dog

Human Names For Labradors It is very popular to give pets so-called human names. All of our family dogs have human names, and always have done. I don’t just extend this rule to the canine members of the house, every other animal we live with also has a human name. Even down to the guineapigs and fish! The nice thing about using a human name for a pet is that it is formal, universally understood and can add to the feeling of their inclusion in your family.
