Ok ...
1) DO NOT buy puppies from pet stores. You are only supporting puppy mills which cruelly treat animals.
2) Albinos have Red eyes, not blue.
3. Labs don't come in White. They vary in shades of yellow. If the store is selling it as white, RUN AWAY FAST.
4. Does the pup have a brown nose and lips and eye rims? There is a color combination in labs that is not SHOW quality, where they will have a yellow lab with the skin coloration of a chocolate(brown nose, lips, eye rims, and then the blue blue eyes as puppies). The blue eyes will turn yellow by 4-6 months.
Honestly, what you were describing, if it was really SNOW white with a PINK nose was probably NOT a lab at all. Run away!

It was a very,very badly bred, poor example of the breed, or probably had some Husky mixed in it then...do you know pet store dogs come from puppy mills? These are horrid places where dogs of poor quality & health are bred every heat till they die - if you buy from them you support this industry, as all they care about is money you gave for their pups. Please seek out a reputable breeder by going to www.akc.org & contacting members of your closest local Labrador Retriever club. Buy from a breeder that tests & certifies their breeding dog's hips & eyes (VERY important in this breed). This is best way to ensure a healthy, REAL purebred dog. And support the good breeders who are working to breed better, healthy dogs!
p.s. if you were wanting it because it was 'different' looking, why not consider rescueing a lab mix from a shelter or rescue group (can be found at www.akc.org also)? Or, consider another breed. If you like the personality of dogs in the sporting group (like Labs) in particular, check out the Visla or Weimaraner.

I have a white lab but she has brown eyes and a brown nose. I have never seen one with blue eyes and a pink nose. That is interesting. I hope you find what you are looking for!

Never seen one myself. Sounds like an albino. Hope those new owners understand that they have to be careful of the sun with that dog. Probably will need vitamin supplements during whole life.
