You can often see these wonderful dogs on TV commercials, dog shows, and in magazines. Yellow Labrador Retrievers are real superstars of the canine world! Since chocolate and tan Labs fall under the chocolate Labrador color category, the same goes for these dogs. When breeders succeed in developing a merle Lab pup, it is considered as a really huge surprise. Imagine the excitement of seeing a merle pup! The Boxador personality can be hard to define, as mixed breed temperaments can express in a variety of potential ways. The puppy may take after either, both, or neither of its parents. But both Boxers and Labradors do have a few things in common that puppies are likely to inherit. You’ll find the following traits in both parent breeds: This breed of dogs was originally brought from the country of which they bear the name, where their great strength and docility render them extremely useful to the settlers on those coasts, who use them in bringing down wood from the interior parts of the country to the sea side. Three or four of them, yoked to a sledge, will draw two or three hundred weight of wood piled upon it, for several miles, with great ease. They are not attended with a driver, nor any person to guide them; but after having delivered their loading, they return immediately to the woods, where they are accustomed to be fed with dried fish, &c.”

These marks are little white spots found on a Labrador’s feet. They’re not the same as the white patches we talked about earlier. Bolo marks range anywhere from an inch to three or four inches.

They typically have brown noses and brown eyes, although rare blue-eyed chocolate dogs sometimes do occur. These particular pups are very sought after and will fetch a high price tag. 6. Brown Source: @soho_labradoodle / IG

Some studies have recently been investigating a link between this issue and diet, but more research is needed to determine whether there is a causal link. Progressive Retinal Atrophy On the other side, recessive genes (chocolate) aren’t as protective and strong in reducing infection. So, it is believed that the selective breeding of the chocolate Labs made them less immune to certain health problems. There is one rule, however, in that they need not to be more than 50% white. If a dog is majority white, then he is considered to be a Parti-colored Labradoodle and not an Abstract Labradoodle. 11. Red Source: @labradoodlesplayground / IG

We have a beautiful 12 year old Boxador (Rescue) named Sicily and absolutely love her. My daughters babysat her for their cousin that worked for a vet and Sicily was brought in to be euthanized at only a few weeks old. Sicily was the runt and was said to have seizures and her breeder wanted to out her down. Well, my niece saw so much life in her and took her home with her other pets and then our girls got her and Sicily became theirs. Sicily is a beautiful fawn color with a beautiful face with white strip on her head white paws and white chest and people always ask what she is. Being the highly active dogs they are I often kept her and we walked 4 x a day and played ball. She is very deliberate and good at everything she does, shes smart, loving, loyal, protective and loves our all the grandkids that have come into our lives after 4 years of her being the only one. She loves camping, walking, playing and being with family. Boxadors are by far the best pet one could have if you are willing to take time with them. They don’t like being alone, can’t be crated and need training so they know whats expected of them therefore you may save your furniture. Later on, alleles will control the pheomelanin pigment leading to the formation of red color. This will give the Fox Red Lab its signature look.

Here’s a fun fact Typically when you see Labradoodle puppies being advertised, they are one of three standard color variations. These are the most common colors in a litter and thus the most readily available.

Their eye colors usually vary from hazel to brown… some may inherit amber eyes, which is really rare. Blue eyes are usually seen in newborn pups as this is the case with all baby animals. Dudleys are known as pink-nosed Labradors. Their nose is pale, usually ranging from very light brown to soft, baby pink. While doing your research, you’ll often stumble upon the question of whether chocolate Labradors are more difficult to train than other colors of this dog breed.Other than a pinkish nose and paw pads, and light eyes, their eye rims also come in lighter shades of pink and beige.
