Subject: markings on chocolate lab pub
  I just adapted a female chocolate lub pup.  The breeder said
that both parents are AKC registered.  I got to look at both chocolate
parents and they were good sized.  The breeder was only going to
register half the litter because half the pups had yellow markings
on the legs and paws. He was selling them for half the price.
I bought one of these pups because 1. I am cheap 2. I have no
desire to breed or show dogs 3. I wanted a house pet that if it
hunts will be a big plus but not a big disappointment(I live in the
most duckless state in the US(WV) and don't have the stomach for
the stocked pheasent free for all in PA.

My questions - does what the breeder told me sound correct?
      That the pub I bought was the combination of two AKC
chocolate labs and these markings just showed up or were there
multiple fathers of the litter?

Can a litter have multiple fathers if multiple males visit
a female in heat?

The pup looks very lab like.
Just wondering.  I don't mind buying a cosmetically inferior
lab but I did want to buy a lab.

She is very pretty and with any luck will make
a great companion.

Gino

Either is possible.  Wierd marking are not that uncommon.  For example,
in the litter I had last April where a yellow was bred to a yellow (and
only yellow pups are possbible), one of the pups had a black spot behind
one ear.  I checked with 3 vets and they all said it is usually a
mutation during development of the embryo (and not heriditary).  I
suspect this is the REAL cause in your litter as well.

#Can a litter have multiple fathers if multiple males visit
#a female in heat?

Yes.  Different pups can have different sires in the same litter.  The
female is receiptive for anywhere from 5-10 days during estrous and
ususally isn't picky about who she breeds with.

#The pup looks very lab like.
#Just wondering.  I don't mind buying a cosmetically inferior
#lab but I did want to buy a lab.

#She is very pretty and with any luck will make

Given these 2 statements, don't worry about it.  Sounds like you got a
puppy like you were looking for.

It is very unlikely that your pup is pure bred.  Labs throw solid
colors, you wont get a "chocolate" with "Part yellow" markings.  There
is also a strong possibility that the pups that look all lab are not
pure bred either.  The litter should not be registered at all.  A female
can have a litter of 10 different pups with 10 different fathers if she
was bred 10 different times while she was in heat.  Your breeder is
everything that is bad about dog breeders.  And by the way, dogs can
breed through a single layer of chain link fence without any problem.
It would appear that if you are looking for a lab, you need to look
elsewhere.

It is not correct that "Labs throw solid colors."  The Lab standard
certainly expects solid colors.  However a Lab which carries two copies of
the recessive tan-point color pattern gene (the solid color pattern gene is
dominant) will be of the so-called tan-point color pattern.  A chocolate
will be brown with light markings on its lower legs, light spots on the
inside of its eyebrows and a lightened muzzle.  A black will be similarly
patterned with tan, and lighted shades perhaps. This pattern is not
expressed in yellow Labs.  Source for this information: "The Official Book
of the Labrador Retriever" published by the Labrador Retriever Club.
