About Fox Red Labs
The fox red labrador coat is not a new shade in the labrador breed. This coat color dates back to the early 1900's when the original yellow labradors were either dark golden or butterscotch tinged with red. This dark color was the common color until after World War II. Through the years the lighter labradors became more popular and therefore the deep fox red color was almost lost.
Two well known labrador breeders, Kelleygreen and Keepsake Labradors are responsible for bringing the fox red color back in the United States. Some of the fox red foundation dogs include: Balrion Red Alert, Kelleygreen Kardinal, Scrimshaw Placido Flamingo, Keepsakes I Love Lucy, and Keepsakes Cajun.
