I’m happy to find this site, I researched a lot about brindle labrador here in Brazil and I didn’t find anything I’m about to adopt one.

While they may not meet the breed standard, and cannot be shown, brindling DOES occur in purebred labs. It is the result of a recessive gene, so both parents have to carry the gene for it to be expressed. It is horribly irresponsible to assume that there must have been an interloper somewhere.

I learned a lot in a real hurry when our stud, a gentle giant of a black lab with a long and rather proud pedigree, was bred with a sweet chocolate, with an equally wonderful temperment and lineage. Nine pups in the litter, and four demonstrate brindling. These are 100 percent lab pups, with good breeding. The brindles are absolutely adorable. The first two pups to be spoken for were brindled. It was his second litter, with the first throwing eleven beautiful, homogenous colored pups. (No brindling.)

I don’t know if the brindled pups will be registered, but I know they have been a hit, and all of my research these last few weeks, comes up with no other known health risks or predispositions.

Brindled labs are unique, and come pre-camoflauged for the duck blind!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but

I have a lab puppy that is 12 weeks old that we were told is Brindle but I have showed other people and they say that he looks like he is Lab and Rottweiler mixed. How can I tell and how can I send you a picture to see if you can tell.

Now I’ve grown up with black labs. I had never heard of or seen a brindle lab until about three weeks ago. Our neighbor had lab puppies and told my son he could have his pick. My son told me he picked out a really cool one that had all the colors. So I had to go check it out. The Neighbor told me she was what they call a brindle lab and he said he had never seen one either. Then he had another pup that was black and tan. He told me he researched that and those labs are breed as seeing eye dogs. Anyway the pup came home today at 7weeks and has already made friends with my 6 month old daughter. She seems to be a very well tempered lab. My son is looking forward to training her to pheasant and grouse hunt.

We’ve had a chocolate lab now for 5 years. I’ve been told by two different vets that we do have a 100% Lab Retriever. We were hesitant at first because he has very short tiny black stipes here and there, almost like a brindle, but he’s mostly brown all over, his nose is also brown. Everything about him from body structure to his personality screams Labrador Retriever and the lady that sold him to us said that that’s what he is. I’m glad I found this site because I wasn’t sure if this was possible. thank you all for your facts and comments

I have a brindle retriever. He is 9 months and he is a dark brindle all over. In his litter there was 2 goldens and a black.
