Most of the puppies will probably be black. It will depend on the ancestry of both dogs. You may get a yellow lab, maybe even a chocolate, but most will be black. If both of them are purebreed labs, those are the only possible colors. You may find a white spot on the chest, but if you were showing labs, it is not a desireable traite. Yellow labs can be anywhere from blond to a reddish color. The chocolates can be between dark and light chocolate. Do you know much about the parents of your dogs? That could also give you a clue as to possible colors your dog will have. I think the chocolate labs are the prettiest, but I am a little biased. I had a chocolate lab named Hershei(pronounced Hershey). He was a good boy!

First you have to know was there any other colored labs in the yellow labs sisters and brothers. Then you have to check ,to see if there were any other colored labs in the black labs sisters and brothers
If the answer is no to both, then you have a 50%-50% chance that they probably will be separated pretty evenly.
Remember dogs can have more than one father at a time.
That may be the unknown factor.

It depends on the color of the male & female labrador. If it's a male puppy it'll inherit the genes of the female labrador & if it's a female puppy, it'll inherit the genes of the male labrador.
The pups are more likely to inherit the color of the male labrador, as it happens in 65% of all hybrid births.
There's no chance of yellow labs with black spots unless, it was the color of paternal grandfather (what other term can I use???) or maternal grandmother. It's pure genetics dude.

My GSD was almost all black as a 10 week old pup. Unfortunately I can't remember when she started getting her tan color but she certainly did and had beautiful coloring. Most GSD's are born black apart from a small area of tan on the chest. ADD: My GSD has a registered pedigree and was bred by an ethical breeder from black and tan parents who were show dogs.

Do you have a 4 generation color pedigree on both dogs? If you look at both together, they can produce any of the colors listed as long as both parents carry the color. Black is a dominant color gene. If your black lab comes from solid black background, it may not be able to produce other colors.

No, you'll get some yellow, some black, and possibly some chocolate as well (labs have genes for those colors, no matter what color they are).

I've seen black females have yellow puppies - and vice versa. You'll probably get some of each - maybe a brown (chocolate) one or two as well.
No spotted dogs here. White coloration is highly discouraged.

No, but that would be a cool-looking dog if you did! You'd get yellow labs and black labs.

You will get black labs and yellow labs, and possibly chocolate labs too - no spots :p

why are you breeding them? are they show dogs, or exceptional in any way? is there some outstanding trait that should be re-inforced in the breed? if the answer to these questions is no, please don't breed them. there are too many unwanted labs in shelters these days.
if you must breed them, you can expect a fairly large litter and the pups could be black, yellow, or chocolate.
please think again before you breed them. if you're just doing it to make some money, that's a lousy way to do it.
