The Other Labrador.Site
Quality Isn't Defined By Color But By Health
dd
Same breed. Different genetic expression.
TheLabrador.Site is an education first Labrador resource powered by Lab Pod. We focus on responsible breeding, practical buyer guidance, and genetics explained in plain language. There is a lot of loud talk in Labrador land, especially around dilute colors. Our goal is simple: raise the quality of the conversation and the quality of the dogs. That means education, transparency, and a consistent emphasis on health testing and responsible breeding practices to help improve the breed. We would also love to see the Labrador Standard changed to add the dilute colors to the breed standard.
Labrador Genetics and Coat Color Science
• Coat color genetics explained simply (D locus, B locus, E locus)
• Silver, charcoal, champagne vs black, chocolate, yellow
• What dilution does and does not change
• Myths, assumptions, and common misinterpretations
• Historical context without speculation overload
Health Testing and Responsible Breeding Standards
• PennHIP vs OFA and why hips matter
• Elbows, eyes, cardiac, DNA panel testing
• CDA risk discussed responsibly, not hysterically
• Transparency and documentation expectations
• Why color never replaces health testing
Buyer Education and Better Conversations
• How to evaluate breeders regardless of color
• Questions buyers should ask and red flags to avoid
• Internet myths vs real world dog ownership
• How to engage disagreements without hostility
• Helping normal families find healthy Labs

Education first: dilute genetics, Labrador history, and AKC registration. Humor second—because the debates aren’t going away.
We Also Have Fun.
We believe good humor disarms bad information. So yes, we joke, parody, and poke fun—but always with purpose. Behind the laughs is a serious commitment to education, transparency, and improving the breed through facts, not feelings.
