Thanks...Todd, he is more of a parchment but with brown streaks though...it is pretty up close. I will always have him...he is my baby boy...but we rarely use him. We don't have any F1s breeding now...
It is my understanding that chocolate Labs hold their color and chocolate Poodles fade. I think that is because so many Pooldes carry dilute genes and Labs don't. So, it should depend on the genetics...Lab or Poodle.
