Not a breeder, but don't the noses have to be brown to be a chocolate?

Good point Linda.

You might find this site helpful. It gives a lot of info into the colors of labs.

righto on the chocolates...they can ONLY have liver/rose noses. All the puppies will have a pinkish nose initially, but the black puppies will have black noses, eyelids, and lips.

hope that helps!
