Unveiling The Myths About Red Labradors

The Labrador retriever is coveted by millions of people all over the world.  These dogs offer a good companionship and are known to be playful and aware of the owner’s needs. Labrador retrievers are also highly intelligent dogs. They are known to help disabled people as well.  There are three primary colors that a Labrador can be: black, brown, and yellow.  The color of a Labrador’s coat has nothing to do with its intelligence, only the look of it, and that is important to many people.  The color of the Labrador is an important factor in choosing a new dog. Some owners want to get away from the three main colors of the dog and try to find breeders that have Labradors that are charcoal, silver, or red.  Red Labradors are not extremely rare but it can take some time to find.   There are certain things a potential owner must know before getting a red Labrador.

What To Know Before Getting A Red Labrador

The red Labrador, which is sometimes called fox red, may lead to some   misconceptions about the animal.  One misconception people may think is that the dog is physically red like a fire hydrant and that is just not the case.  It is impossible to breed a dog like this to be that hue. Red Labradors fall under the category of a yellow Labrador.  It is merely the darkest, tannest, yellow a Labrador can be and people call it red.  Unfortunately, that can lead to some embarrassing misunderstandings should one believe the dog is actually red.  It would not necessarily be the potential owner’s fault, just a lack of information about Labradors.

As previously stated, these dogs are not the most common but they can be found.  It will take some research before finding a red Labrador.  The black, brown, and yellow Labrador dogs are bred the most and an owner would be lucky to find red Labradors.  Nevertheless, if one does manage to track down a red Labrador, one must make sure the breeder is not charging too much money.  A breeder may charge more money than the dog is worth trying to take advantage of someone trying to find a red Labrador.

IT would be wise on the part of the potential owner to do some research and find a breeder that is honest and willing to sell the dog at a fair price.
