Overview

Looking for a Fox Red Labrador Retriever puppy for sale? Labs originated on the Island of Newfoundland. This breed began from a fishing dog known as the St. John’s Dog. In the 19th century, they began being trained as gun dogs for hunting and retrieving. The popularity of this sporting dog grew throughout the states after World War II and now can be seen in millions of homes.

At one time, almost all Labradors were black. Black is the breed’s genetically dominant color, but Labs can also be yellow, brown, red, cream, and white. However, for many years, humans would not breed Labs of other colors. Eventually, yellow became an acceptable variation.

In the early 20th century, Yellow Labradors were much a much darker butterscotch yellow. Over the latter half of the 20th century, breeders began selectively breeding some Labs for a red tone, and others for the lighter yellow we see in modern Yellow Labradors. In fact, in the eyes of the American Kennel Club, the Fox Red is still considered a variant of yellow.

The Lab was first recognized by the AKC in 1917 and grouped as Sporting.
