If you’ve wondered how a Labrador retriever of one color gives birth to purebred puppies of another shade, the answer lies in genetics.
If you plan to breed your Labrador retriever and want a better idea of possible coat colors, or aim for specific shades, have both parents genetically tested for the coat colors they carry.
Veterinary genetic testing services can give you the answer after you swab your dogs’ cheeks and send them the sample.
