We have had Labs and golden labs, but our Labmaraner is great. I’m 69 and my girl requires 3-4 miles of walking a day. Keeps me in shape! They are very affectionate and highly intelligent. You can’t go wrong! They love other dogs in the family and they love kids!

In reply to Jody. I had one too. He lived over 15 years as well and was an amazing family dog and my best friend Missing Gunner!

I adopted a male 1 1/2 year old. Velcro personality. Then got a Xolo male same age. The run and play all day. I have a large yard and access to trails. The Labweim is a little stubborn but gentle. Still working on leash training. He is chocolate with grey overtones

I rescued a labweim mix from shelter. About 1 1/2 years old. Velcro personality. I then adopt a Xolo about the same age. They chase and play all day. Fortunately I have a big yard and trails. Both males. Still working on leash training. He thinks everything is a game.

This site has very good information and is truly a great resource.

There is one point I’d like to make however. A true lab/weim cross will only ever be non-dilute when the lab is not a dilute or dilute recessive. The dilute dd locus is “supposidly” not present in “purebred” labradors, and always present in weimaraners. For a pup to be dilute this gene has to be present in both parents.

I myself own a silver labrador and I can verify that she is 100% labrador in temperament and aesthetic. She is AKC and has a pedigree going back 8 generations that I can see.

When skeptical people say that labs “never carried the dilute gene” I have to meet this with my own skepticism. Says who? At what point was the labrador genome sequenced in the 50’s to make this bold claim?
It is known that MANY breeds carry dilute, not just weimaraners. Any dog of “blue” color has it; dachshunds, American Pit bulls, dobermans, grate Danes, (basically every breed) as well as Chesapeake bay retrievers which are said to have been involved in early labrador breeding.

If both parents (lab an weim) have had genetic testing (which they should always have before breeding) there will be no color surprises.

Well thanks to this site and learning about Silver Labs I”m sold!! Bo my Black hunting lab that got ran over yrs ago-and Holly my 11 1/2yr old Weimer I just lost are the 2 best dogs I’ve ever owned!!! I still like to hunt on occasion, so its a no brainer to seek this breed!! I think it would make the perfect dog…I’ll see if I can find a breeder in Northern Calif-if not might need some info on breeders. I’m willing to pick up a rescue dog as well…Any info on breeders in Northern Calif. would be greatly appreciated!

You can find Labrador/Weimaraner breeders by googling ‘silver labs’ because that’s what they are-weimadors

In reply to Steven H. We just rescued our little Lab/Weimaraner mix . This is what the vet told us she was today. We found out she is only 6 1/2 weeks old. We found her Christmas Eve and is already house trained and sits . She is really a smart puppy and we have fell in live with her
