Some Facts About Silver Labradors

By Anita Ortega


Labs are definitely one of the most popular dog breeds, not only in the USA, but widely. They have all the characteristics an ideal dog should have. They are highly intelligent, loyal, playful, great with children, gentle and obedient, and they have really nice temper. Silver Labradors became very popular lately and their specific color is the result of careful cross-breeding of pure labs with similar color characteristics.

Finding out that your silver Lab is actually registered as a chocolate variety might be a little bit confusing. The problem is that this particular color fits in a color range for this category, but it will be soon resolved. The owners of blue Labs have similar problem, because their dogs are registered as black. Anyway, both color varieties should be soon recognized as separate colors.

Another great thing about Labs is that you really don't have too much troubles with keeping them tidy. Their coats are short and smooth, very easy to groom. Daily brushing is perfectly enough to keep them clean. Sometimes they might get dirty, but don't give them a bath unless it is absolutely necessary. Dry shampoo them occasionally, or simply use a damp cloth. If they were swimming in the sea, rinse them well.

This strong, active dog enjoy running and playing. Although it won't be very active inside the house, you have to give it an opportunity to walk, run and play outside. If you have a large yard, the problem is solved. If not, you have to take your dog for a walk at least once a day, especially if you live in a small apartment.

It is hard to imagine more perfect dog. Labradors are clever, loyal, affectionate, playful and so gentle. They adore children and are eager to please and, thanks to that, very easy to train. They will adapt to your way of life, guard your home and make sure your children are safe while playing outside. They can be great police dogs and simply perfect family dogs.

Silver labs look especially attractive. Their smooth, glossy coat comes in different shades. It can be almost bluish grey, or brown-grey, or in any shade in between. It may appear different under different light, and that makes these dogs even more interesting. Although they are popular all over the world, these dogs are especially appreciated in the North America.

Labradors might have some health problems. This includes ear and eye infections, and problems with their hips, for example. They will be perfectly happy living in the apartment, but you have to be very careful about their proper nutrition. They gain weight easily, especially if they don't have the opportunity to train regularly.

Labs have so many wonderful qualities that it is simply great to have them. Beautiful, obedient and highly intelligent, they make really perfect family dogs, companion or work dogs. Their kind nature and nice temper, great appearance and a constant eagerness to please their masters make them interesting to all future dog owners. If you would like to get a dog, this might be a perfect choice.
