Joan of Arc Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 an add in our local paper today offering a black and gold lab, with papers - free to a good home but recommending a farmlet or acreage. Ghee, wonder if that's to accommodate the kelpie in this purebred lab! Sorry but I just go so mad at this add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Panther Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Purebred or not, with papers or not, isn't the main thing that the dog gets a good home? The description may not be spot on to say the least, but isn't it more important that the dog doesn't end up in the pound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serket Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Well, at least they're trying to make sure it goes to a suitable home and not just anywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozjen Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 http://www.ashgi.org/color/Aussie_somatic_mutations.html This site shows a black and yellow Lab as the second image showing unusual mutations. Perhaps the advertised dog had this mutation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothieGirl Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 It wasn't a typo meaning 2 labs was it? One black and one gold/yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarakay Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Maybe it was typed up wrong at the paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the advertised dog had this mutation Oh Wow.....that was very interesting As to the ad, I wondered if it was a typo and meant two labs Yellow (golden) and Black. I know our newspaper locally is just full of typo's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joan of Arc Posted March 1, 2010 Author Share Posted March 1, 2010 Yes have seen that site before and it is very interesting and while I agree that at least they are trying to find the dog a more suitable home it undermines the responsible breeders. No Newfsie, not a typo this time - I know our local rag is just that, a rag, but this time that's what the advertiser wrote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandgrubber Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 (edited) In recent years, there have been several litters in WA where some (roughly half) of the pups were something like brindled (mosaic). I wouldn't call them black and gold, but someone might. In some cases both sire and dam were titled. Pamela Davol discusses this, and black and tan labs, at length: http://www.labbies.com/genetics2.htm Such pups are generally registered on Limited Register. I don't see how this undermines responsible breeders. Edited March 1, 2010 by sandgrubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rastus_froggy Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 When I read it, I just automatically presumed it was 2 dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.mister Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 A little off topic, but I saw an ad in our paper for a litter of mini foxies - $250 'unspaded' and $350 'spaded' "Yes, I'd like my new puppy spaded, please...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carrie Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 On the flip side, $100 extra for a speyed dog is fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
