What is the best way to find a rare dog I want?
I am looking to purchase a Labrador Husky with blue eyes and tan fur. I have looked online, checked out multiple vet clinics, animal shelters, rescue homes for pets, and a local list of breeders and am unable to locate one of these. Can anyone point me into the right direction of who I can get in contact with to get one of these lovely dogs? Will give 100 points for the best answers
a labrador/Husky is not a rare breed.
It is a mix between a Labrador retriever and Siberian husky (or alaskan husky).
We get tons of these in every year down at our local shelter. And our local pound is sadly always having to put them down.
Lab/husky mix is the most common mix in our area.
Try www.petfinder.com you should be able to find a puppy of this mix in a shelter near you. Now being that its a mutt the traits aren't specific you may not find a exact look you want. But don't get a dog based on looks get a dog based on personality and what fits with you lifestyle.
Good luck
I don't know where you are located but I found a few on petfinder:

They are out there you just have to be patient and locate them. Good luck and please adopt, you will be saving a life and not contributing to the irresponsible breeding of mix breeds
ADUIAL: I just looked that up. And the first site that popped up was dogbreedinfo.com, not a very reliable site. But it did show a labrador husky, still something doesn't sit right with that. Probably a back yard bred created dog.

To the OP: If you are wanting a purebred Husky, go with a Siberian Husky, they have been around for many years and breed true. If you want one of these Labrador Huskies I would do my research and make sure they are a real breed and not a hoax first
According to wikipedia.org this is what is says about a Labrador Husky
"The Labrador Husky is a spitz type of dog that was bred for work as a very strong, fast sled dog; it is a purebred originating from Canada. Although the breed's name may be baffling, it is not a mix between a Labrador Retriever and a Husky; these mongrel dogs are not automatically purebreds simply because the Labradorian Sleddog is. The breed is very little known, and there are no breed clubs that currently recognize it."
Well if anything I learned something today. Shows I don't know as much as I thought. Anyways sounds like a relatively knew breed and it bothers me that there are no breed clubs for it. There are many many breeds out there not recognized by AKC,CKC, or UKC. Its just going to be hard for you to find one of these dogs. I really don't have any advice.
I appolgize for assuming you meant just a designer dog. I don't know enough about this dog to really help you

Bill? A Labrador/Husky is a mix, not a breed.
EDIT: Is this what you are looking for? I had no idea there was such a 'breed'. Excuse my ignorance…..

If it is a very raret breed its best to do some research on rare breed sites on the internet and order one because you probably wont even be able to find a rescue group and be warned: rare breeds tend to be extremely expensive, especially from a breeder.

There isn't a way I can guarantee you'll find one, labrador/husky crosses are mutts, therefore the only way you could find one is via byb or at a shelter. Try petfinder.com or something like that online you might be able to find one. But also curious, how do you give 100 points for best answer?! I thought that was impossible on here?

Blue eyes are not rare, tan coats are not rare. Picking a dog based on eye and/or coat color isn't the proper way to find a pet. Dogs are not accessories.

For all those doubters, a Labrador Husky is a breed. Not on the AKC but it is recognized by some circles. The argument continues about whether it's a mix or not.
That is a rare breed to find. Have you expanded your search for breeders across the country? Many rare breed breeders will ship there pups across the country to homes.
Have you looked at http://www.breeders.net?

What you seek is not a purebred, but a mutt. Labrador/Husky mixes are usually pretty common. Have you tried Petfinder?

You could try petfinder or just google the dog you are looking for and someone might be selling one, or a huskey or labrador rescue near you but it is most likely be expensive.

For those who say otherwise….the Labrador Husky is a pure-bred dog.
It is *not* a mix between a Labrador and a Husky, but a pure bred dog native of Coastal Labrador. It is similar in a lot of ways to the wolf.
The breed is not recognised by the AKC, but instead DRA (Dog Registry of America)
Because this breed is particularly rare and misunderstood, finding a breeder will be tough. If you are seriously interested in the Labrador Husky however, and are willing to search far and wide….contact this breeder for more information. http://www.explorelabrador.nf.ca/home/image-27

First of all - there is no such thing as a Lab/Husky breed, and if you find one it is not a rare breed - just a mutt.
So it will be next to impossible for you to find something so specific. Just keep you eyes open at shelters….there will be no one in specific to contact.
Second of all, you can't give 100 points lol.
References :
If you are looking for an actual Labrador husky (as opposed to a Labrador/Husky mix) it doesnt look like tan is an option:
"Coat colors vary from solid white, solid black, black & white, red & white, and gray & white. There are two rare coat colors in this breed: wolf gray, solid gray. Any coat color can appear in any litter, the most common being black & white, gray & white, solid black. Solid white and red & white do occur but are less common."
Good luck awarding that 100 points. :o)
