The only three recognized colors of purebred Labrador Retrievers are yellow, black and chocolate (which used to be called liver). There are many shades of yellow in yellow Labrador Retrievers. Some are so pale that they are called "white", even though their papers will call them yellow. The darkest shade of yellow is sometimes called "gold", but even the darkest golden Labrador Retriever will not compare to the luster of a Golden Retriever.

We do not know the name of the first person who decided to not kill his or her Labrador Retriever puppy who decided to give it a chance to live just like its black siblings. Eventually, it was obvious to everyone that a yellow Labrador Retriever was just as healthy and intelligent as a black Labrador Retriever. Some trainers even prefer yellow Labrador Retrievers over any other color in a sort of reverse-prejudice.

Somewhere along the last two hundred years, a rumor got out that chocolate Labrador Retrievers could not be purebred because the color showed that Pointers were thrown in the mix. However, this was not the case. Back in the 1800's and today in 2008 a litter of Lab puppies often has a chocolate sibling in with the blacks, goldens and yellows.

Although we claim to not believe in superstitions, our subconscious proves we do. Quite often, we pass over anything black because of the negative bias towards the color black. The only things that seem to escape this bias are diamonds and horses. However, there are a lot of myths, legends and stories about black dogs being somehow bad. One of these is that vampires can change into black wolves – or black dogs (even black Labrador Retrievers).

Usually every year out of England just after Christmas, you read about a dog who ate the family's Christmas dinner, desserts, decorations and some of the gifts. Almost without fail, the dog winds up being a Labrador Retriever. Christmas dinner in England is given even more hoopla than Thanksgiving in America. Although some Labrador Retrievers can eat such a massive amount of food with just a few belches, most just vomit it all back up. How festive.
