How to identify a Labrador? The coat colors of Labrador can only be black, yellow, and chocolate, and other colors are unqualified; Labrador has a larger head, a prominent forehead, a relatively welcoming nose, and a narrow nose. The mirror must be black to be a purebred dog; the tail of a purebred Labrador Retriever is thick and straight, not bent in the back.
Whether a Labrador Retriever is a purebred depends on its coat color. Purebred Labrador retrievers have three colors, namely black, yellow, and chocolate; the coat of Labrador retrievers is double-layered and very mysterious, with a layer of soft down that allows them to survive in cold water. To maintain temperature, a thick, hard outer layer of hair is waterproof.
A purebred Labrador must have a cool head and clear head lines. The broad top of the head makes the head look quite big. The top of the head is very broad, making the head look quite big. The forehead should be clear, the head should have clear lines, and the lower jaw should be long and strong, but it should not feel too long. The nose should be wide and the nostrils should be wider. The teeth are strong and clean, with a horizontal or scissors bite. The ears hang excessively on the sides of the head, and are slightly set back. They are low and droopy but not heavy.
The appearance of each part is obvious, well connected, uniform in shape, square in shape, square head, short face, wide mouth, broad back of the head, and moderate stop. The skull and front face are parallel to each other and about ten inches in length. The stop is moderate, and the eyebrows are slightly beyond, so the head to the tip of the nose is not a perfect straight line.
The Labrador’s front feet are straight from the shoulders down to the ground, with the toes well arched. The hind ankles are excessively bent, the hands and feet are of moderate length, and are balanced and coordinated with all parts of the body. Observe that when the Labrador walks, the elbows are not fully outward. To be more precise, the elbows and legs appear neat but close to the body. Go straight forward without pacing or taking wrong steps. The legs form a straight line and everything flows in the same plane.
The Labrador's tail is not feathered and is surrounded by thick, short and deep coat, resulting in a strange round appearance, which is characterized as an "otter" tail. The tail is a special characteristic of the species. Extra thick at the root and gradually tapering towards the tip. The tail is a continuation of the topline when resting or flowing. It can be held happily, but not bent behind the back.
