[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 2442390, member: 27991"] No actual statistics of 99%, just 40 years of goose hunting / guiding and hunting with numerous Labs; good and bad. Black is a dominate color, have seen 2 yellows mated and litter contained mostly black pups. The only unloyal / unfriendly Labs I have encountered were those taught / trained to be mean / unfriendly. Hunting instinct is born in them, they either got it or not, you can't teach it. I have seen Labs of every color who couldn't find a biscuit in a bucket and I had a Lab (who happened to be black) that was hunting / retrieving dove at 11 weeks old. She would find a wounded goose after seeing it hit and glide for 1/4 mile, she wouldn't quit hunting until called. As soon as the gate was opened, she would load in the truck and sit until told to unload. A co-worker had a black that would chase / retrieve tennis balls all day. Take him to the field and at first shot, he was in the truck whining. Tried numerous times to get him over gun shyness, never had any luck. Only dog I haven't been able to help. He was loyal and a great pet, but that was all he was, a pet. [/QUOTE]
