New Addition!!

KatieMae · 04-29-2007, 10:22 AM

Well, yesterday we had a new boarder arrive at our barn... A close friend of my barn owner's trailered the horse down from Tennessee, and when she came down to FL, she brought her 8 week old Lab puppies... She had 2 blacks, and 2 chocolates... The little female was for sale and a low price because she has white on her, and I decided.. What the heck, my boyfriend loves labs and she's absolutely adorable... So here she is, our unnamed new puppy.. I'm open to suggestions for names

Sorry - very bad at names, but she is a cutie.

Well it was sort of like Kharma for you to get her so how about Kharma or Destiny?? She is a real cutie pie!!

Um, I believe the correct term is "African American" labs . . .

Sorry, I just couldn't resist. I'll never forget the a couple of Olympics ago there was some event in which a dark-skinned woman won gold, but she was from France or Spain or something, and the announcer said, "This is the first time an African American has won the gold . . . " We go so far overboard with political correctness it can be humorous.

Cute dog,we had a black lab named Winston. My youngest granddaughter's dad has it now. He was a great dog.

I thought purebred labs didn't have whit eon them like that?? Does the puppy have papers?

Fancy's Mom · 04-29-2007, 05:21 PM

some purebred labs do have white on them it is normal for a few to have that

Mine has just a touch of white on his back toes and a few on his chest..

Jaxie · 04-29-2007, 07:17 PM

shes a CUTIE!! I just got a chocolate two days ago..

and yes, labs can have white.. but it's not "wanted".. and they can only have white on their chest.. of course.. if they're just pets... who cares

mine has a teeny patch, too.

HorseLovinLady · 04-29-2007, 08:52 PM

Awww what a cutie!!!

She looks alot like my black lab mix I had before, his name was Cash. She looks like a Casey to me for a name.

allison · 04-29-2007, 09:15 PM

Aww she's adoreable! I would call her Star, for her little white patch, too cute!!

KatieMae · 04-29-2007, 09:53 PM

Thanks for all of the comments on her.. We decided to name her Roxy, after the Surf/Snowboard company

allison · 04-29-2007, 11:00 PM

Roxy is a cute name, of course I'm biased, because that's my Min Pin's name. I spelled her name with an 'ie' though.

rubysrider · 04-29-2007, 11:06 PM

What a cutie!!

Love her name!!

I am forbidden by my husband to even go near the local humane society!

The white spots has more to do with how the color forms on the dog not the genes. The color starts on the top and works its way down...sometimes it doesn't get enough of the way around and you get the white spot on toes and chest. So if you want to breed a parti marked dog, you need the white to be in others spots then those, as those dogs are genetically solid...most of the time.
So while white spots are not allowed by breed standard, it is not an indication of mixed breeding.

Very cute. I love the name.
Yes labs can have white and other colours on them, it is a fault. Labs can even be marked like a rottie as well (brown paws, cheast and the eyebrows)

ETA: Here is a website with the missmark colours dogs can have.
