    The only picture that I can see is the first one...the one contained in your post.

    What comes to mind for me is "silver Labs"....what does your breeder have to say about this as something in her line?

    If you look at "Other" in the link above there is a greying factor. There is a photo of grey appearing in a black dog's coat, under the heading "White Flecks." I can see your photos, and can especially see the grey in your last two photos. But not well enough to see if it looks like the link.
