Tell your photographer that there is no such beast as a “golden” Labrador Retriever. There is a Golden Retriever, which is a separate breed. The caption is for a picture of a YELLOW Labrador Retriever. Labs come in three colors - black, chocolate (not liver or brown) and yellow.

G.F.

Thanks. Two wonderful breeds of dogs, but as you say, two different breeds. We corrected: GBU Editor
