@CrazyForPianosGirl strange.. cuz in my neighbourhood there are more chocolate Labs than blacks and yellows put together... maybe i'm colour blind. True but not every litter has black and not every litter has yellow, it depends on the colour of the parents and their history. Brown is recessive, but that doesn't make them "rare"

[CrazyForPianosGirl]

@Jal1515 they are generally, much rarer and not every litter has em

@Saibrock dude you didn't even read what you just said.. and no a REAL dog breeder never sells a puppy more because of it's colour or something "unique" about it.. that's just a scam for your money, just like Tea Cup dogs.. i am 18 and well educated on dogs... and he's not a business man, he's a BYB or a puppy mill breeder.. how about actually talking to a 25+ yr and testimonials of Labrador Breeders.. i currently speak to 3 different Labrador breeders who sell all their pups for the same price

@Jal1515 I never claimed they were impossible. You didn't read my comment. I said they are LESS common than other colors, and a breeder who sells a less common color for more money isn't a puppy mill, he's just a business man. You sell commodities of lesser supply for a greater amount, in general. I have no clue how old you are, but learn some business economics lol :) ...and read comments before you reply to them lol :)

@Saibrock they AREN'T impossible.. did you not read my comment?.. in my neighbourhood alone, we have 15 chocolate labs, and 6 blacks and 2 yellows.. so no they're not rarer and no not more expensive.. and a breeder who sells a puppy more because of it's colour, is NOT a breeder, it's a puppy mill or a BYB = bad breeder.. i have no clue how old you are but, get your facts straight lol :)

[Saibrock]

@Jal1515 Rarer than the other colors ≠ impossible to find. They are less common that the other breeds, and more expensive to get from breeders (possibly because they're rarer).

[Jal1515]

@Saibrock lol they're not "rare" and not more expensive because i own one LOL.. but nice try though :)

[Saibrock]

@Jal1515 Chocolate labs are rarer and more expensive.

i don't understand why Guide Dog programs rarely have a Chocolate Labrador? just wondering
