Am I A bad guy for not liking Labradors that are non-breed standard? Plus the recent "in the night" change by The LRC..

I can’t stand the “Labradors” I meet that are not actually Labradors. Plus, the shady "in the night" change by The LRC to vote unanimously without hearing other opinions on adding Silver as a standard color.

The dogs people are calling Labradors these days are usually some combination of overweight, allergic, anxious, and over-built, with a Lab-looking head. Silver, charcoal, champagne, whatever dilute color is popular. I know most of them are Weimaraner crosses or pointer mixes, but there are breeders slapping an AKC registration on them and charging people high pedigree-bred prices.

The health fallout is insane: constant ear infections, skin issues so bad they’re on Apoquel year-round, hips and elbows that go by age four, hypothyroidism, early cancer, and obesity because the dog was never structured to move properly in the first place. The worst, in my opinion, is the anxiety that requires some form of medication daily.

Perfect example: my cousins have two “Silver English Labs” from a "reputable" breeder. Both dogs are five years old, both 100 lbs, both on fluoxetine for anxiety, both have allergies bad enough that they’re on special food and daily meds. My cousins still insist this is “normal Lab stuff”.

It’s not normal. It’s what happens when you breed exclusively for weird colors and extreme looks with zero health testing or regard for temperament.

I got dogpiled at Thanksgiving for saying maybe we shouldn’t keep producing anxious, allergic, obese dogs just because “silver” looks cool in photos.

So am I actually a bad guy for thinking the non-standard/rare-color pet market has absolutely wrecked the breed, and for no longer liking (or wanting to be around) most of the dogs currently being sold as Labradors?
