Color might only be an issue in that people may be drawn to a yelllow
verses a black Lab. This was certainly the case with my yellow Lab I
started out with as my first guide. Seems like we drew a crowd around
the college campus and out on the streets. There's also lots of yellow
Labs that appear on advertising and in many other places. Seems like
my mom was always telling me of how she saw "... one of Tony's
cousins" somewhere. There are those that will not be as drawn to the
black coloring since it might look threatening, and then again there
are an equal number who may have had a black or darker colored dog
before that will be drawn. If you were to put boht colored dogs side
by side, then probably more would be drawn to the yellow, but not
totally sure about this. Not sure there's much difference in sex. I've
heard of dogs of both sexes that were hard headed, and those that were
more sensative, so go figure.
