That's what I thought when first I read the lead.
My first thought was Labrador Retriever.
Speaking of which, I saw a very funny Subaru commercial over the weekend. Yellow lab is sitting at a stop light behind the wheel of his Subaru(yes the dog is driving the car). A French Poodle strolls through the crosswalk in front of his car. He watches intently. The camera view widens to show his fellow yellow lab(bitch) sitting in the passenger seat and growling at him. In between them you can just barely see a cut little yellow lab puppy sitting in a car seat in the back seat. Very funny
