Question
Hi,
My husband talked to a dog owner who claimed his dog was a miniature black
Lab.  It was about the size of miniature Doberman.  Are there such a thing as
mini labs and why can't I find them?

Answer
There no such thing maybe the dog was a beagle lab cross which would look very simaler to a pure lab provided its colros were lab colored. Also you can get minitue labradoodles a lab being cross bred to a toy or miniture poodle produces a meduim/small dog. You can also get patterdale terreirs only heard of them through a dog breed sight the black ones look like little labs but they are said to be very behavier driven more so then jack russells, amoung being stubbarn and hard to train.
