I would buy from a breeder where you can be somewhat more assured you are actually getting a purebred dog that is hopefully not really inbred.
Unsolicited Advice: When you do get a lab, get pet insurance and get the additional hip dysplasia (sp?) clause. A coworker of mine got a chocolate lab puppy and they have 3 surgeries lined up to fix hip problems that would cost about $20,000.
