I've seen some very beautiful "fox" colored labs.
Although it is an accepted color, you would never see one in a show ring, or rather, never see one show successfully.
I do not have a problem with people "considering" color when they choose a pet. When I seek out a puppy to purchase I begin with traits that fit my family, a breeder that I trust and respect, and then I move on to the more aesthetic appeals, of the individual puppy. It's just the priority that sometimes becomes a problem. If someone seeks out a color first, without regard to health, temperament, conformation, working ability, etc... a problem exists, for both the person and the dog bought to fulfill that rather shallow "want".
P.S. Bravo for looking at options and considering wisely the bringing home of a new pet to your home!!
