Chocolate
Jack Vanderwyk traces the origins of all Chocolate lab puppies for sale listed on the LabradorNet database (some 34,000 labrador puppies for sale of all shades) to eight original bloodlines. However the shade was not seen as a distinct colour until the 20th century; before then according to Vanderwyk, such can be traced but were not registered. A degree of crossbreeding with Flatcoat or Chesapeake Bay retrievers was also documented in the early 20th century, prior to recognition. Chocolate labs for sale were also well established in the early 20th century at the kennels of the Earl of Feversham, and Lady Ward of Chiltonfoliat.14
The bloodlines as traced by Vanderwyk each lead back to three black hunting hunting dogs for sales for sale in the 1880sBuccleuch Avon (m), and his sire and dam, Malmesbury Tramp (m), and Malmesbury June (f). Morningtown Tobla is also named as an important intermediary, and according to the studbook of Buccleuch Kennels, the chocolates in that kennel came through FTW Peter of Faskally (1908).14
