Doggie Appreciation Thread - because I haven't seen one and dogs deserve a high 5!

46. Looks like one to me, they are actually pretty rare

And don't "conform" to the standards as far as the show-dog hoo-ha.

From wiki:

"A colouration known as "Dudley" is also possible. Dudleys are variously defined as yellow Labradors which have unpigmented (pink) noses (LRC), yellow with liver/chocolate pigmentation (AKC), or "flesh coloured" in addition to having the same colour around the rims of the eye, rather than having black or dark brown pigmentation" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labrador_Retriever

If you google "dudley lab" and click on images you'll see all sorts of pink lab noses. Sometimes a regular lab's dark nose will fade, but given the light pigment around your dog's eyes, I think you may have a dudley.

Mine looks a lot like this one (hyperlink so I hope it works)



As for the spare fur, no thanks, we've got plenty
