Chocolate

Chocolate and black Labs noses will match the coat colour. Chocolate labradors were also well established in the early 20th century at the kennels of the Earl of Feversham, and Lady Ward of Chiltonfoliat. There are three recognised colours for Labs, black (a solid black colour), yellow (anything from light cream to gold to "fox-red"), and chocolate (medium to dark brown). Pigmentation effects appear in regard to yellow Labradors, and sometimes chocolate, and hence the majority of this section covers pigmentation within the yellow Labrador. For similar reasons, crossbreeding chocolate to yellow labs is also often avoided. Yellow and black labs are registered in very similar numbers; chocolate in lesser numbers. The chocolate Labradors are especially good hunting dogs. The chocolate lab has been established since the early 20th century and originally traces back to eight original bloodlines.
