I seem to be my friends search engine lately lol!!

My two friends (husband and wife) are looking into getting a dog, either a golden retriever or a yellow labrador. But they want one from strong working lines that is also a really deep fox reddish colour.
Obviously they know all the work that it entails and the husband eventually wants to have a go at gundog training but the colour is very important to them aswell as health tests etc
husband wants a goldie and wife wants a lab...so its very likely they will end up going for a lab lol!
thanks

ps: If you are recommending individual breeders please PM me and do not post names

A Lab would be best then I would say.

Are the working Labradors darker when yellow? In Goldens, you will find that the working dogs are far, far darker than any show dogs, but I ave no idea if it is the same in Labardors.

I dont really know to be honest- they like the fox red colour- but i dont know whether that is associated with working lines

Yes - the darker yellow and fox red has always been common in working lines - it's only really in show lines that the pale yellows have been fashionable.
