ja, davon hatte ivh auch schon gelesen, so wie bei den Blue Merle Border, wa? Das ist doch ein genetisches Ding, richtig? Ist es dann Zufall, dass diese Probleme in Amerika nicht auftauchen oder wirds da nur nich so publik? Weil da sind die ja richtig anerkannt und mega verbreitet
Die Silber Labradore werden mittlerweile auch nicht mehr vom vom Labrador Retriever Club im AKC anerkannt
It is the opinion of the Labrador Retriever Club, Inc., the American Kennel Club Parent Club for the breed, that a “silver” Labrador is not a purebred Labrador retriever. The pet owning public is being duped into believing that animals with this dilute coat color are desirable, purebred and rare and, therefore, warrant special notoriety or a premium purchase price.
Over the past few years a limited number of breeders have advertised and sold dogs they represent to be purebred Labrador Retrievers with a dilute or gray coat color—hence the term “silver labs.” The AKC has accepted some of these “silver labs” for registration. Apparently, the rationale for this decision is that the silver coat color is a shade of chocolate. Interestingly, the original breeders of “silver” Labradors were also involved in the Weimaraner breed. Although we cannot conclusively prove that the silver Labrador is a product of crossbreeding the Weimaraner to a Labrador, there is good evidence in scientific literature indicating that the Labrador has never been identified as carrying the dilute gene “dd.”
