[nagdu] Chocolate labs

[Donna Elliott]

I was told Chocolate Labs were bred purely for their color, not temperament or behavior.  As with any dog, some chocolate labs are fine but many have issues, temperaments and behaviors that do not make them viable guide dogs worth breeding for programs. The larger, better established guide dog schools, who have their own breeding programs, breed for health, intelligence and disposition.  Chocolate labs are not born in black or yellow litters.  Black is the dominant color, yellow is recessive and Black and Tan labs are a genetic mutation that only effects coloring.   Donna
