Bung Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Does anyone know if two golden labs can produce black pups? My girl was supposedly knocked up by another golden but I now have 5 black puppies! Has something jumped the fence?? 2 have ridge backs.... They look very much like labs though, beautiful either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 A black and a blonde can make black, blondes or chocolate. I think two blondes would make blondes and two blacks would make blacks but check with a vet. All puppies are cute, but if they grow up to be mutts they most likely will end up as soi dogs, little market for mutts here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bina Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 two possibilities: 1. a grandparent that is black ; w/great grandparent also black probably or 2. two pups are purebred and a second male mated her also (several males can have several pups with a bitch, every egg (ovum) gets fertilized separately .....

britmaveric Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Genetics - just because parents are a certain colour, doesnt rule out family characteristics from few generations back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BambinA Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 from genotype makes different phenotype (just example) if B = Blonde , dominant gene and b =Black , recessive gene BB = Blonde Bb =Blonde bb = Black if father= Br ,Mother =Br pup can be BB , Bb and BB (but in fact , it has more than 2 genes control color , thats why we can see chocolate color also ..but my example might give you some idea) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bung Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Thanks for the info everyone. It turns out that there is a black dog in the same yard that the male was in, my wife didn't think he could be the father as it is too young so she didn't mention it, she doesn't know male dogs very well Apparently it is a Lab also but I will check it out tomorrow. The pups look every inch Lab as far as I can tell but are only 3 days old now. They have black coats with blond "highlights" kind of nice but we will need to look for good homes for them, a few are already spoken for and I will keep one, we have 10 rai for them to run around on. So much for the Golden stud, out done by a pup it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bina Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 just want to clarify: golden = golden retriever, a different breed that only comes in shades of red and gold to white labs come in white (yellow), chocolate and black w/NO WHITE TIPS OR SHADE ALLOWED unless standards have changed .......yellows can be almost white (cant remember nose colours very well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a female dog got mentration the males will find ways that we thought were impossible. Once found entry you will see the male dog often. In your case you never saw an other dog in your garden, so I guess the father is who he is suposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that, when I lived in Lampang I often watched the dog next door climb the 2M high fence between our houses, a clever dog I thought!
