Behind The Breed: Chocolate Labrador Retrievers 🤎✨
Did you know that the gorgeous chocolate coat color comes from a recessive gene? That means both parents must carry it to produce a chocolate puppy! 🧬 Because historical working lines were almost exclusively black, chocolates were primarily developed as show dogs. And while there’s a common conception that chocolate Labs are a bit more energetic and playful... we’ll let you be the judge of that based on our crew! 👇
Meet our Chocolates:
Dawson – Our water-loving, talkative dude. He’s all about wrestling with friends, splashing in the pools, chasing tennis balls, and ending the day with a solid cuddle session. 🐾💙
Maxine – Our calm girlie. You can usually find her sunbathing on the playground, soaking up all the pets, or hanging out for a Wednesday playdate with her bestie, Sewfee.✨💖
Moose – A total tennis ball connoisseur. You will always see him with a ball in his mouth—he’s goofy, happy, and ready to play all day long!🎾
Beau – Our resident social butterfly. He fit right into the pack perfectly, loves making new friends, and is always down for a good game of tug-of-war (with a tennis ball, of course!).🫶🏼✨🎾
Louie – A big, gentle teddy bear! Don’t get us wrong, he’s got plenty of energy and a massive wiggly-butt greeting, but he loves chasing his bestie Poppi, wrestling with Major, or cruising the yard.🤎🎾
Claire – Sassy & sweet! This girl loves her cuddles, but she’s still learning not to "talk back" to her friends when she's ready to play.🩷🎀
Mav – A pure ball of energy! Catch him doing zoomies, hanging with the chocolate crew, or snuggling up at the end of the day. You’ll almost never see Mav without his absolute bestie, Mabel.🤎✨
Sewfee – A sweet, talkative girl who loves sunbathing and cuddling. She will definitely let us know if we go a little too long without acknowledging her! Catch her playing with Maxine or lounging on the playground.✨💖
Major – Another total ball of energy who keeps us laughing and on our toes! He loves playing with his besties Louie B. and Greta, but never forgets to demand his pets when he gets sleepy at night.🤎🎾
Our pack truly would not be the same without these chocolate Labs. They are sweet, goofy, playful, and just so full of love! We adore them all so much. 🥹
Stay tuned... we can’t wait to tell you all about our other Labrador besties very soon! 🐕
