Talk:Labrador Retriever
From Academic Kids
[edit]
Origin
If the breed was originally developed in the UK, why is it Labrador? --Menchi 05:35, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I've added in a sentance to explain this - the breed was developed in England from dogs brought back from Labrador and Newfoundland. -- sannse (talk) 08:26, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Obedience
"The Labrador Retriever, one of the most familiar breeds of dog, is noted for its friendliness, intelligence and obedience" ... so why is mine the exception? *grins* (FT2)
- Are you saying you have a grouchy Lab?!?! It could not be possible! Elf | Talk 03:33, 27 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Colour
Out of curiosity, what's with the yellow colour? The lab on the two pictures seems white to me, not yellow. ^^ (Admittedly, I am somewhat colourblind, but not with regard to these colours, so...) -- Schnee 18:55, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Both of the photos were a little washed out. I adjusted the lighting on the full-body shot, so it doesn't look quite so white, but the original lighting & contrast is such that it's hard to tell that it's not all white. This looks slightly better. I know what to expect, so I look at it and see the yellow. :-) This might be a lighter-colored coat, too; they do come in ranges. It's more like a wheaten color than a true yellow. It's usually more like this dog or this one; maybe we need a photo that better shows the coat color. :-) 00:49, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
