Seeing Red

See how my furs glows bright red there when the sun hits it.  Mom said I am a Lab Mix, not purebred.  Since I was dumped at a shelter she is not sure  mixed with what. I'm only about 70 pounds and my legs, though long, aren't as long as other Labs.  My furs is also a little bit longer than normal, and it's REALLY super soft and the furs on my tail is also fluffier than Barkley's was (he was purebred).

Then there's the red undercoat.

What do you think Blogville?

Flat Coated Retriever?
Irish Setter?
Angry Bird?

  2. Our cousin Gypsy is a black lab and she has a lot of red in her furs too, especially when the sun shines. Even Angel Phantom had some red glows in his fur when he napped in a sunpuddle. No matter what else is in your genes, Abby, you are one very pretty girl!!! :-)

  5. LOL! Angry bird maybe?

    I did a google search, just because I was curious, and it says the red tint is not uncommon in black labs. It can be caused by shedding fur, sun bleaching, etc. My bet is that Barkley is a fluffy lab. :)
