Do Silver Labs Shed?

Silver Labs shed a fair amount all year round thanks to their double coat

. This is especially true in Spring and Fall (the shedding seasons). This means they will need regular brushing at least twice a week to maintain a healthy coat, possibly more during the shedding seasons.

Are Silver Labs good dogs?

Silver Labradors make great family dogs. They are ideally suited to active, outdoor loving families with children over five. Emma, pictured at 12 weeks old, is a wonderful family pet. Labradors can be very bouncy when young so a silver Lab puppy isn't always a great match for toddlers or those unsteady on their feet.

What problems do Silver Labs have?

Some of the most common problems Silver Labradors experience include hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, cataracts, ear infections and progressive retinal atrophy. Many also experience coat and skin problems, and they may suffer from hot spots more than some other breeds.
