The Labrador is a familiar breed presenting favorable attributes including an athletic build and gentle nature. Silver Labradors generate a great deal of attention possessing a beautiful blue and often charcoal hue that has come under scrutiny among many breeders. Due to its unusual coloration and rarity it has increased in demand; however, there are a number of factors that should be followed to ensure that you are buying a healthy and well raised pup.

Silver coloration results from the mix of two grey dogs that are able to produce the lighter blue shade with other common colors. It is often considered to be a light chocolate range that is part of a thoroughbred line. A number of breeders have argued that the particular canine coloring results from a Weimaraner crossing or through inter-breeding; however, it is an independent shade that involves strict breeding requirements.

The litter that is produced from a pair will largely depend on its genetics and does not include crossing it with another canine. In the 1950s the United States introduced the breed. If you are interested in purchasing a pup or older dog, it is important to ensure that you are buying a quality line.

Kennel clubs should be sought offering the contact details of sellers in the industry who are reputable and able to provide what you are looking for. The necessary steps can be taken to ensure that all animals have been bred according to the best possible standards and represents the bloodline. The breeder should offer a health certificate revealing the genetic history of the animals.

All Labradors must include a gentle temperament to ensure that it is compatible with all members.

Animals with variable coat colors will not differ in terms of its temperament, structure, health requirements, and attributes. The registration of silver animals will be noted as diluted brown or a light brown that is still representative of the purebred line. It is imperative that pets are only sourced from breeders who are licensed and registered to ensure healthy and well balanced animals.

All animals must be provided a conducive environment in which to live that is clean and includes a great deal of socialization for the best possible fit in the industry. Look out for health certification and ensure that it includes clearance for various genetic disorders.
