I told her I would get opinions on this..
she is looking for an indoor family dog. She really wants a yellow lab. Is there a difference in personality in yellow vs. Brown or black??? This dog will not be for hunting....Any suggestions? I tried to give her onw of our chesafreaks:P lol

Are they still trying to find someone to play with their kid? Spare the dog some torture.

Go to your local Humane Shelter. The one in Greenwood had a bunch of labs last time I was there that were scheduled to be put to sleep. Some were good looking full blood labs with obedience training. If I could have taken them home, but I already have 4 throw aways. It pisses me off when people throw away a good dog. My advise is to give a lab a second chance at life and adopt.

I don't think color makes any difference. It's all in the blood. Some are mellow and some are almost uncontrollable.

we are lucky...our lab is about as sweet as they come. He is black, so I didnt know if that made a difference?

I don't want to sound like some liberal tree hunger but something I'm adament about is giving dog a chance at life. I promise you, if you ever pay a visit to your local Humane Shelter, you will leave there with a dog if you have a heart. Lordy....I'm getten soft.
I promise you.....I've had enough of them to know, a throw away makes the best pet.

I agree that color doesn't make a difference to temperament. Some bloodlines, especially field trial lines, are more hyper - kinda like thoroughbred horses. But, you can take a lab from the most mellow breeding and if it is neglected, it will be crazy and capable of tearing up an anvil.
