Blue-faced yellow labs?

[Longmayitreign]

I was at my lfs the other day and in one of the tanks there was one male yellow lab with a blue face, I have seen them online in the background of pictures (rarely) and if I look it up I can't see one on images or any forums. I think they are probably hybrids but I was wondering if it's the same thing as the 1 in 1000 blue-faced dragon bloods.

Anyone know?

Some variants of L. caeruleus have hints of blue in various parts of their body, including the face, but if it has a solid blue face/head it is 100% hybrid.

Check out post # 10. That’s a wild male from Lions Cove that a friend of mine collected, and bred. I bought the first group of offspring from his breeding group.

A local acquaintance of mine, Kyle Rollefstad took the following pic when working for the late Stuart Grant years ago. He set up the following display tank, as well as dove in Lion's Cove and helped collect the yellow labs shown below.

Yea, it was probably a hybrid it was dark blue and solid coloration.

Here's a pic of my 1 in a thousand Blue Dragon Blood Peacock. Lol. Bought three of them from a local breeder.

Wow, that's pretty. I was refering to the dragon bloods with only the blue face though, but that's a good example too.
