my vet told me that my Labrador puppies are mixed breed, because of there color.. i have a black Labrador, he has a small white spot on his chest and small white hairs on his fingers on his feet. while my yellow Labrador has a white combining with little bit spot of yellow. they really look like a Labrador but my vet told me that a Labrador has a solid color, like a black has a solid black coat, a yellow is a solid yellow to light yellow coat. i don’t know how to see if they are pure. they have no papers. thanks in advance for the answers.
With no papers, impossible to tell for sure. You should ask the breeder if the parents do have papers.
Purebred Labs are solid color. A badly bred lab from a backyard breeder or puppy mill may have spots though.
If they are mutts…. would you love them any less? after all, that is what really matters!
actually the original ancestor of the labrador is call the saint jonhs water dog. One of the main marks of the st johns water dog is the white splash on the chest and around the feet… so the white marks are not a sign of a mut…but more of a tribute to the true backround of the labrador retriever.
