Thanks Jim.
Drew why a yellow with yellow?
Before I got Gunner I had a Black female named Dizzy. One hell of a retriever! I had about 4gs into her and she developed epilepsy at 3yrs. Put her on doggie downers. She eventually died in my arms while trying to get her to a vet one day. Broke my heart. After that I did a lot of research, talking to different breeders and found this wasn't all that uncommon. I was extremely surprised buy it. Two of the breeders told me that it seems more common in labs that are bred when one of them is not a black lab. They had no scientific proof but through 25-30 years of breeding they trended it.
Chocolate with cho, yellow with yellow type of thing. They said the dominant color is black and they had seen that mixing black with yellow and black with chocolate turned out healthier dogs?
This is just an FYI I'm not trying to change your mind.
I looked at Dizzies papers and saw that there were 2 times that yellow were bred with yellows.
I lost all the info about it when my old computer crashed. It took a lot of my time up to gather that stuff too.
I'd like to breed Gunner but I didn't send off for his papers...I guess I should. He's the best retriever I've had. His drive still amazes me at times. He's a machine.
Widgnwhacker has his Dad, Wyatt.
Good luck pallie!
