I encourage you to do your own research on the diluted shades of the Labrador Retriever. You will find there is quite the controversy over these shades, in particular the Silver Labrador. We did research of our own before we purchased our first Silver. There are only two sides of the coin to this controversy, you either love them or you hate them.
Q: Is the Silver a purebred Labrador Retriever?
A: E-mail the A.K.C. directly and ask them if the Silver Labrador is purebred. You will not find this on the website.
Q: I've e-mailed the American Kennel Club directly and they did respond by telling me that the Silver Labrador is indeed a purebred after doing a kennel investigation with the Labrador Retriever Club of America (L.R.C.). After this investigation was conducted, they both agreed that the colour should no longer be registered as "Silver" but changed to Chocolate.
