The
Labrador Retreiver
is
a strongly
built,
medium-sized,
short-coupled,
dog
possessing
a sound,
athletic,
well-balanced
conformation
that
enables
it
to
function
as
a retrieving
gun
dog;
the
substance
and
soundness
to
hunt
waterfowl
or
upland
game
for
long
hours
under
difficult
conditions;
the
character
and
quality
to
win
in
the
show
ring;
and
the
temperament
to
be
a family
companion.
Physical
features
and
mental
characteristics
should
denote
a dog
bred
to
perform
as
an
efficient
Retriever
of
game
with
a stable
temperament
suitable
for
a variety
of
pursuits
beyond
the
hunting
environment.
The
most
distinguishing
characteristics
of
the
Labrador
Retriever
are
its
short,
dense,
weather
resistant
coat;
an
'otter'
tail;
a clean-cut
head
with
broad
back
skull
and
moderate
stop;
powerful
jaws;
and
its
'kind'
friendly
eyes,
expressing
character,
intelligence
and
good
temperament.
Above
all,
a Labrador
Retriever
must
be
well
balanced,
enabling
it
to
move
in
the
show
ring
or
work
in
the
field
with
little
or
no
effort.
The
typical
Labrador
possesses
style
and
quality
without
over
refinement,
and
substance
without
lumber
or
cloddiness.
The
Labrador
is
bred
primarily
as
a working
gun
dog;
structure
and
soundness
are
of
great
importance.
At
a height of between 22" and
26" at
the shoulder,
the Labrador's weight is
usually
between 65 and 90
lbs.
As
with
most larger breed dogs,
the
average
life span of a Labrador
is
10
to
12
years.
Labrador
retrievers are average shedders
with very little grooming...good
news for the busy family!
We love
to play!
The
Labrador is exceptionally
affable,
intelligent, energetic and
good natured, making them
excellent companions and working
dogs.
The
Labrador comes in many colors...yellow..black...charcoal....chocolate...silver..all
equally as beautiful.
The
Labrador is believed to have
originated on the island of Newfoundland,
now part of the province of Newfoundland
and Labrador, Canada.
We come
in so many
colors!
Labradors
are
a
well-balanced
and
versatile
breed,
adaptable
to
a
wide
range
of
functions
as
well
as
making
very
good
pets.
As
a
rule
they
are
not
excessively
prone
to
territorialism,
aggression,
destructiveness,
hypersensitivity,
or
other
difficult
traits
which
sometimes
manifest
in
a
variety
of
breeds,
and
as
the
name
suggests,
they
are
excellent
retrievers.
As
an
extension
of
this,
they
instinctively
enjoy
holding
objects
and
even
hands
or
arms
in
their
mouths,
which
they
can
do
with
great
gentleness.
We
have some of the most beautiful
Labradors you can find anywhere
