Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 45 lbs

Hello! I heard different Labrador colors have different personality. I've had all three and the chocolate one was the wildest. Can you please comment on this? Thank you.

There is no proven science behinds this and all personal preferences. Personally, I feel the yellows are the calmest and smartest, followed by chocolates, then black labs. My boss thinks black labs are the most loyal and hard working, then chocolates, then yellows.
