It almost reminds me of the statement I heard once that “I think all LARGE labs are calmer”…talk about “bad science”…its not even logical.  Its all GENETICS…believe me, I could show you over 50 LARGE (100 lb +) American field labs that are the most hyper, most obnoxious dogs I have ever made contact with.  Right there, you see the logic and where this goes… Regarding color, it’s like saying “all blondes (human) are dumb, and all redheads have a bad temper”…well, you can see the absurdity of that statement.

So I will let you draw your conclusion about color…its ALL genetics.  You cannot even go from “experience”, I will admit you have probably seen a lot of terribly hyper chocolate labs, I have seen terribly hyper labs both black, chocolate, and yellow.  Prices Of Car Tyres In ChinaRemember, labradors are the most popular dog in the US, and everyone and their brother can breed a litter of labs and sell them (with no regard to temperament, genetic soundness, nor conformation)…and that produces irresponsibility in breeding, so you will see more POORLY bred labs than any other breed, for this reason.  Purple String CurtainChocolates, being the rarest in the breed, are more often bred for coat color alone, which is why you may see more poorly bred ones in your travels.   Best Catfish Lakes In California

We breed for good temperament, proper conformation, and genetic soundness in ALL or our labs, no matter what color. And concerning chocolates, I once had an AKC show judge once tell one of my clients, “don’t buy a chocolate from any breeder in the US other than Endless Mt. Labradors, or Erinhill Labradors.”  ***Oh, and I must address the “pigment” issue…all labs should have DARK pigment (around eyes, lips, nose, nice brown eye), not pink or liver.  This most often occurs when someone breeds a yellow to chocolate (the first No-No in lab breeding!)

Our females are medium size when compared to Labs. They hold their body condition on a limited amount of food and have maintained the great personality.

The stud males are very strong, correct dogs that will walk up to any stranger and lick them in the face after a couple pats on the head. All adult breeding dogs must hunt, retrieve and track a downed bird with no formal training. In short, our dogs have to be a LOVER and a NATURAL HUNTER. We did all this selection with only one goal in mind: to have a great set of hunting dogs to entertain the clients that visit our hunting lodge. But along the way something unpredictable happened: we fell in love with too many of the puppies. We had to stop raising puppies because our kennel was full and we did not have time to market the pups. Our hunting guests kept asking: where did we get those beautiful Labs, what is story with the spotted female, and where can I find one? So, after many requests, we started a breeding program in 2004. While we'd like to tell you the spotted female was a carefully planned creation, truth be known, she just showed up one day in a litter along with 10 black puppies.

She is a beautiful female that hunts, points and retrieves with great energy. She has had three litters of pups; these dogs are scattered across the US, are loved by all that have them and are a constant source of high praise by their owners (see the accompanying letters of praise). Though we have 12 adult dogs in the kennel, we limit breeding stock to five adult females and three proven stud dogs. Our strict attention to genetic selection is a main contributing factor in the consistently high quality pups we produce. Our goals are to offer more spotted puppies; though rare, we should be able to offer more in the future. We now have three young spotted prospects that we selected from two spring litters. If they pass the hunting tests, this fall they will be added to our breeding line.At this time the pups come in all colors: black, chocolate, yellow, white, brown/white spotted and black/white spotted. We are very blessed with the dogs we have in our care. By upholding high standards in our breeding program, it is our wish that others may enjoy the great qualities and uniqueness of these Hybrid Dogs for years to come.

Yellow Retriever, Golden Flat CoatLab, LabradorUnited KingdomUnited States and CanadaThe Golden Retriever is a large breed used primarily as a gundog and a retriever for small game. It is known for its lustrous light brown (golden) coat, which is double layered and provides them ample warmth in cold weather. Golden Retrievers are highly intelligent and respond well to both basic and advanced training, which makes them suitable for a number of roles including seeing-eye dogs, hearing dogs, search and rescue, hunting, and an affectionate, extroverted family companion.The Labrador Retriever is one of many breeds of the retriever hunting type. Extremely loyal and intelligent, Labradors are one the most popular pet breeds in numerous countries, including the United States. While they still serve the purpose for which they were initially bred, which is retrieving small downed waterfowl, they are also adept at a number of other jobs including leading the blind, acting as hearing dogs, and police and military work.

Their kind nature, obedience, and knack for getting along with children also gives them the reputation of being the ideal pet.
