I got one of Bucks Ivories from last summer.
Great dog, shes got a ton of potential.
Shes much different from my black lab.
Much more calm and focused, and seems to pay attention, (most of the time) when your working with her.
Ofcourse shes only about 7 months old, so shes has to have her fun too.
Matter of fact, my wifes sitting here right now holding her like a big baby, and this dog just lays there nice and calm and lets you pet her.
Probably nothing new to some of you guys, but my black lab is almost 3 and she still doesn't hold still , shes pretty hyper.

I've knocked my black lab a few times on this site, and just would like to say that the family loves her and she is a great pet, She really hasn't failed me, if anyone failed it is most likely me . but I'm probably going to just work with the younger one and perhaps she will teach my black soemthing. I haven't given up on her, but I just see alot of potential with the Ivory, and want to put what little spare time I have into her.

spank you very much, and have a great day

Redhead,
An Ivory lab does refer only to the color as it is considered to be a yellow lab. The Ivory is just that, ivory in color, almost white. It has to do with the coloring you prefer. My last liter had 4 ivory colored pups and 2 yellow pups. I never know what color the pups will be. In fact it is possible to get a black lab from breeding yellow labs since black is the dominant color of labs. When I have my female bred it has to do more with health, hunting instinct, and disposition rather than color. I also prefer a smaller lab 60-70#s. That being said, I do like the ivory colored labs.
Since this is not a "For Sale" forum post your e-mail and I will contact you.

Dano, It was nice to see that your pup is doing good. I hope your family is enjoying her. Keep working with her and you won't be disappointed this fall.

While you can get a black pup out of a yellow, it would have to be bred with a black in order to produce a black pup. All yellow to yellow breedings will ONLY produce yellow. The yellow gene is recessive and thus y X y = y. Hypothetically y X By = 1/2 yellow, half black, but in reality it can be any combo of the colors, (black pups carry the yellow gene and will throw yellow). y X B = all black, but pups will carry the yellow gene and throw yellow.

Chocolate is a mutated form of the black gene.

As stated "ivory" is just a lighter shade of yellow. It will be registered as a yellow and approx. half of them will take on a darker shade of yellow as they mature.

Good luck in your search! Ken

Labs,
Thanks for clearing this up. I had been misinformed. I have a friend that always asked if I had gotten any blacks from breeding two yellows. He had assured me that this was a possibilty. It's nice to clear up that myth. Thanks again.

Very interesting post!!!! Thank you for the added insight. How would you go about trying to determine what gene pool your dog or the dog you will breed to is in? Our females parents are both black. She is a lighter colored yellow with dark tipped ears and a liver colored nose. Going back 4 generations there is only ONE yellow in her pedigree. Her mothers great-grandfather is yellow. I certainly would like to find out more on how all of this works.

Thank you very much. EXCELLENT POST

If you go to the the top of the page that comes up and click on "Link" you'll get a list...in that list you'll see VeGen Purebred etc. Under that link go to Canine, and select Current Services, this will take you to a page that has 'Revolutionary ChromaGene' with color code prediction for labradors. OR...

http://www.vetgen.com/color.html

I believe this is also the origin of the color code chart. Looks to be $85 per dog to get the color code prediction done.

This is one example, I'm sure there are other places out there.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
