Birth Notes:
Opal’s first puppy born at 4:45pm is an extra large solid chocolate male weighing 1 lbs 7 oz at birth. He is thick, solid, muscular, and strong. He has a large, broad head. He will likely look like the biggest gosh-darn chocolate Labrador Retriever you have ever seen! People will gawk in awe at your Lab’s size exclaiming, “Where did you get THAT dog?” This puppy will have bright yellow eyes, as all chocolate colored dogs have yellow eyes. (green)
