Silver Labs Now Recognized by the AKC
Last month, the AKC, in corporation with the Labrador Retriever Club of America, conducted an inquiry into the breeding of litters that contained members that were registered as silver. An AKC representative was sent to observe these dogs. The report and color photographs of these dogs were reviewed by AKC staff and representatives of the Labrador Retriever Club of America. Both Parties were satisfied that there was no reason to doubt that the dogs were purebred Labrador Retrievers, and have agreed to add "Silver" to the recognized list of colors.
"People have been lobbying the AKC to update its stand to reflect the reality of the breed," said AKC spokesperson April Tonto. "Breeders and owners will be thrilled to now be able to list 'silver' as well as 'chocolate', 'yellow', and 'black' as officially recognized colors."
Breeder Judy Deconnes was supportive of the change, adding, "I'm going to be able to charge so much more for the silver puppies. Thank you, AKC!"
