After being introduced to England in the century, they were trained as hunting dogs. They are now mostly trained as guide and guard dogs to detect drugs and explosives. .
Morphological characteristics of Labrador retrievers
The Labrador Retriever is a medium to large dog. Due to its lively personality, docile personality, high IQ and no aggressiveness, it has been successfully trained as a guide dog or other working dog. It ranks alongside huskies and golden retrievers as non-aggressive dogs. Many people often confuse Labrador retrievers with golden retrievers. In fact, Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers are quite distinguishable. One is that the golden retriever's coat is longer than that of the Labrador Retriever, and the other is that the Labrador Retriever's coat color is more pronounced than that of the Golden Retriever. Labrador Retrievers come in three standard colors: black, yellow and chocolate.
Body type features:
Pronounced slightly shorter; body length (distance from shoulder joint to end of hip) slightly greater than shoulder height (vertical distance from shoulder to ground). The distance from the elbow to the ground is equal to half the height at the withers. The chest extends to the elbows, but not very impressive. The body must be of sufficient length for a straight, free, and efficient stride; but he must not appear short, long, or thin in legs. Constitution: Constitution and bone mass are proportional to the whole body. Weak, "useless" people have to be wiped clean, just like the pristine, clumsy people. Labrador Retrievers must exhibit muscle (development) in working conditions and must not be overly obese. The ratio of body length to shoulder height is approximately 12:11.
Head Features:
The head is broad; clear but not exaggerated. The head and foreface lie on planes parallel to each other and are approximately equal in length. The pause is moderate, the eyebrows are slightly protruding, so that the head to the tip of the nose is not a complete line. The brow bone protruded to the stop. The head is well-defined, the cheeks are not very fleshy, the skull is well-defined, the under-eye is well-defined, but the cheeks are not prominent. The head shows a slight centerline; the posterior occipital bone is inconspicuous in adult dogs. Lips cannot be square or droopy. But form a curve towards the throat. A wedge-shaped head, or one with a long, narrow muzzle at the back of the head, is as wrong as a stout, cheeky head. The jaws are strong but not slender, and the muzzle is neither long nor narrow nor stubby.
Nose features:
The nose is broad and the nostrils are well developed. Yellow or black dogs have black noses, chocolate dogs have brown noses, and fading of the nose to a lighter color is not a malfunction. A nose that is completely pink or has no color at all is a disqualification.
Tooth feature:
Teeth strong and straight, with a scissors bite. A pincer bite is also acceptable, but not ideal. Overbite, underbite or misaligned teeth are serious defects. A complete dentition is ideal, the absence of molars or premolars is a serious defect.
Ear features:
Ears are large, drooping, well set, close to the head, set back well back, slightly below the head; slightly above eye level. The ears should not be too large or heavy, but are proportional to the head and extend to the inside of the eyes when pulled forward.
Eye features:
Sharp, friendly eyes show good temperament, and intelligence and alertness are characteristics of this breed. The eyes are medium in size and set far apart, neither protruding nor sunken. Black or yellow dogs have brown eyes, and chocolate dogs have brown or hazel eyes. Black or yellow eyes make the expression harsh and unwelcome. Small eyes, the eyes are too close together, and the round, protruding eyes are not typical of the breed. Black or yellow Labrador retrievers have black eye rims and chocolate Labrador retrievers have brown eye rims. A lack of pigment in the eye circles is a disqualification.
Neck feature:
The neck is the correct length, allowing him to perform retrieval tasks with ease. Muscular, no fat. The neck rises steadily from the shoulder blades, moderately arched. A short, thick neck or "sheep neck" is wrong.
Topline features:
The back is strong and the topline (from withers to croup) is level when standing or in motion. In any case, as a sporting dog, the waist clearly shows elasticity.
