The Labrador Retriever coat colors are black, yellow and chocolate. Any other color or a combination of colors is a disqualification. A small white spot on the chest is permissible, but not desirable. White hairs from aging or scarring are not to be misinterpreted as brindling. Black--Blacks are all black. A black with brindle markings or a black with tan markings is a disqualification. Yellow--Yellows may range in color from fox-red to light cream, with variations in shading on the ears, back, and underparts of the dog. Chocolate--Chocolates can vary in shade from light to dark chocolate. Chocolate with brindle or tan markings is a disqualification.

However, a miss-mark doesn't mean that the dog is not purebred. Only that it would not do well in a conformation class at shows, however, won't make any difference in the other classes.

I have a pure breed Rottie and she has white on her chest, She is considered flawed so if I wanted to get AKC papers on her they would say flawed. Our vet said said "think of it as a birthmark" but if you got the puppy from a breeder you shouldn't of paid the same as the other puppies because she is flawed. But the best dogs are ones that stand out!!!!!!!!!! As long as you don't show her you are good!

She could be pure-bred & have a white blaze - it's pretty common. I breed Std Poodles with exceptional pedigrees & now & then one of my blacks will have a little white blaze. No worries!

Purebred labradors can have white spots on them. I think it's considered a fault if you were going to show her in conformation though.

Who cares, she is your puppy love her like your own. Most of us humans arent "purebreds" but our parents loved us anyway.

you might want to check the american kennel club website; they have the specs for every breed there and they will probably tell you under the section about coloring.

It will fade out as she grows.

probably, most dogs are mutts unless you watched the parents breed and know they are pureblooded. but usually its just pigmentation.
