No such thing as a silver Lab, although unscrupulous breeders will try to sell you a light-colored yellow Lab as a "rare white" or "rare silver." A Choc with a yellow coat is sometimes called a "dudley" - has pinkish pigmentation in the nose and eye rims. They look pretty weird, and they aren't acceptable in the show ring, but there's nothing wrong with them in any sort of objective way.

Here's my breeder's take on color in Labs:

She breeds nothing but Labs, and she's been in the business for 30 or 40 years . . .

No, these appear to be a new thing... a mutation of some kind... they are silver, and look like Weimeraners.

Well, I did see one, and a local lab breeder does have them.
