about us

Farlow Labrador Retrievers is a small family owned silver lab breeder located in Sophia, North Carolina. This is a Daddy/Daughter adventure because we are the dog lovers in the family! We adore all colors of the lab breed but truly fell in love with the silver variety. At Farlow Silver Labradors we pride ourselves in making the best breeding decisions for our labs and future puppy parents. Whether your next puppy is for hunting, a family pet, or companionship, we will try our best to give you the very best in the Silver Lab bloodline. We’d love to hear from you!

AKC on Silver Labs

“In 1987 we conducted an inquiry into the breeding of the litters that contained the dogs that were registered as silver and one of our representatives was sent to observe several of the dogs that had been registered as silver. Color photographs of these dogs were forwarded to the office of the American Kennel Club where the staff of the AKC and the representative of the Labrador Retriever Club of America examined them.

Both parties were satisfied that there was no reason to doubt that the dogs were purebred Labrador Retrievers, however both parties felt that the dogs were incorrectly registered as silver. Since the breed standard describes chocolate as ranging in shade from Sedge to Chocolate, it was felt that the dogs could more accurately be described as chocolate than as silver. ”                                      — Robert Young of the AKC March 27th, 2000
