Breed Type

Labrador Retrievers are a pure breed, renowned for their friendly nature and versatility as family pets, service dogs, and working dogs.

Head:

The Labrador’s head is proportionately large and powerful looking. It has a flat top and is roughly in the shape of a somewhat wide and almost extended wedge. There is no extra skin or creases on the head. It has a pretty face with a slightly developed forehead, brow, and cheekbones.

Ears:

The Labrador’s ears are about average in size, triangular in shape, and point forward from the skull. When the dog is attentive, they snap to a vertical position. The ears are the perfect length, aren’t too big, and aren’t damaged in any way.

Eyes:

Labradors have medium-sized eyes that are oval to almond in form and set at an angle, lending the dog an air of intelligence and kindness. They are a rich brown shade, with well-defined and black rims around the eyes. There is never any protrusion of the eyeballs, and the orbital sockets always offer adequate safety.

Muzzle:

Labradors have a rather long, well-developed muzzle. It gradually narrows toward the nose, giving the head a wedge shape. There is good bone substance in both the upper and lower jaws, and the muzzle is either straight or slightly convex. There is no sign of hostility or weakness, and the wide-open mouth reveals a full set of molars at the very rear.

Neck:

The ability to hold one’s head high requires a neck that is both long and strong. The transition from the wider body to the narrower head is seamless. There is no flab on the throat or dewlap around the neck.

Chest:

The Labrador’s chest is deep and wide, giving plenty of room without ever being wider than it is deep. The brisket goes all the way up to the forearms.

Body:

The Labrador’s body is strong and sturdy, and it has plenty of substance without ever looking bulky or coarse. They are nimble and resilient, able to engage in physically demanding pursuits without appearing slovenly. A well-balanced appearance is achieved by having forequarter and hindquarter widths that are roughly similar to one another.

Nose:

The Labrador’s nose is highly pigmented and can be either black or self-colored. The nasal passages are wide open, providing a heightened sense of smell.

Feet:

Labradors have small, oval to round feet with well-arched toes and robust pads.

Movement:

Labradors have a lively and productive gait, which they combine with grace and boundless agility. Their forelegs and hind pasterns stay parallel to one another while they move, demonstrating a well-balanced build. When viewed from in front, the forelegs should be completely parallel. When the back legs are extended, the back pads should be visible from behind. The arms and legs move closer to the body’s midline as speed increases. From whatever angle, the ridgeline is stable and uniform. The Labrador’s forepaw may extend in a straight line to the snout, demonstrating the dog’s impressive front reach. Extending both the forefoot and the hindfoot to their full breadth demonstrates equilibrium, reach, and propulsion.

Tail:

The Labrador’s tail is an organic extension of the topline and is carried neither high nor low on the croup. It tapers from its thickest point to its thinnest. No matter the dog’s disposition or level of activity, its tail is never tucked or carried over its back. When held down, it reaches to or below the hock joints and can be either straight or mildly bent at the end.

Temperament:

Labradors have an optimistic, courageous, energetic, vigilant, and dedicated personality. They’re great in the field and make wonderful pets because of their intelligence and agility. They have the ability to be very watchful and protective of their families. They need to be trained, socialized, and mentally stimulated to ensure their happiness and good behavior. The breed is not known for displaying typical characteristics, such as hostility or fear of humans. Labradors prosper when they are cared for by responsible loving owners who give them affection, structure, and a meaningful mission in life.
