For chocolate labs you need to find a male that is a carrier to throw that gene. The best luck is a dog that came from chocolate parents. Your dog will need that color gene also to pass on half the DNA. Generally you will get a mixed color litter. If you find a make that has already bred before, knowing what those puppies turned out like can help decide which colors they carry
