If you've wondered how a Labrador retriever of one color gives birth to purebred puppies of another shade, the answer lies in genetics. Black, Yellow and Brown. Genetically, true Labrador retrievers are black, yellow or brown. The latter shade is usually referred to as chocolate.

Answer 3

EVERY Labrador has the ability to produce black because its the default gene, so they all *carry* black as such. Therefore its just taken as read. So: Black Carrying no other colours mated to Black not carrying any other colours = all black puppies. Black carrying chocolate mated to black not carrying chocolate = all black puppies.

Answer 5

Statistically speaking, Black Labs are the most common of all Labrador color variations. This is due to how coat color is inherited in this breed. Without getting too far into a scientific explanation for this, there are nine different possible gene combinations for coat color.
