The AKC Parent Club For The Labrador Retriever Responds

Recently, a person with a silver dog exhibited in conformation at an AKC-sanctioned show.  The dog was disqualified one day and awarded a 3rd place ribbon in a class with only two entries its other day out.  While the dog should've been disqualified based on color both days, it's clear to me that a message is being sent.  These silver dogs are being bred outside the standard of the breed.  No ethical breeder produces dogs that are outside the breed standard worldwide.  People perpetuating the dilute gene are not breeding with the Labrador Retriever's best interest in mind.  Our parent club agrees.  This letter from the LRC, Inc. makes their position clear.

Please share with anyone you believe is interested. If you belong to a local Labrador retriever club, please share it...
