What are the characteristics of a purebred Labrador

1, Labrador’s coat color chocolate color: mixed light chocolate to dark chocolate color are available, a small piece of white hair on the chest is allowed. The color is relatively rare, so the price is the most expensive! Yellow: The yellow coat can range from reddish brown to light cream, mixed in the ears and lower coat or the inner coat of the tail, black: The whole body is black, if there is a small piece of white hair on the chest is allowed. 2, Labrador’s coat Labrador Retriever’s coat is short, straight and very dense, when touched, it gives the fingers a rather hard feeling. The Labrador Retriever has a soft undercoat that can withstand harsh weather. The Labrador’s body is short, and the chest should not be too narrow to appear empty between the front legs; nor should the chest be too wide to appear like a pit bull’s forequarters. The correct chest configuration is slightly thinner between the front legs, allowing the front limbs to move freely. The curve of the underbelly of the adult dog is almost straight or slightly uplifted. The loin is short, wide and strong, plump and powerful, extending to a very well developed and powerful hindquarters. When viewed from the side, the Labrador Retriever’s forequarters are very well developed but not exaggerated.4. The Labrador’s head is broad at the top, making the head appear quite large. The frontal segment should be obvious, the head should be well-defined, and the jaws should be long and strong, but not overly long. The nose should be broad and the nostrils should appear wider. The teeth should be strong and neat, in a horizontal or scissor bite. The ears hang moderately on the sides of the head and are somewhat backward, with a low hanging but not heavy feel. The eyes are medium sized and look and feel understanding, giving a very intelligent and gentle feeling. 5, Labrador’s front legs are observed from the front, with straight front legs and strong bones. The bones are too big or too small to fit the need. Observed from the side, the elbow is located just below the horse’s shoulder, the front legs are perpendicular to the ground, and located in the right place under the body. The elbow is close to the rib cage and shows no signs of laxity. The joints are strong and short and appear slightly sloping in relation to the vertical legs.6. The Labrador’s paws are strong and compact, with rounded arching toes and well-developed foot pads. The wolf paws can be removed. Open paws, rabbit feet, protruding joints, or paws bent inward or turned outward are serious defects.7. Labrador’s hindquartersThe Labrador Retriever’s hindquarters are broad, muscular, and very clear from the hips to the fly joints, with well-turned knees and short, strong fly joints. When viewed from the rear, the hind legs are straight and parallel to each other. When viewed from the side, the angle of the hindquarters is in harmony with the forequarters. The bones and muscles of the hind legs are strong and the knee joints are moderately angled. The knee joint is strong and does not slide when moving or standing. The fly joint is strong and low and does not slide or hyperextend when in motion or standing. Knees and fly joints are angled to an optimal position to balance propulsion and traction well. When standing, the toes of the hind limbs are slightly further back than the hips. 8. Labrador’s tail The tail is a unique feature of the breed. It is very thick at the root and gradually becomes thinner towards the tip. It is of medium length and cannot extend beyond the fly joint. The tail has no feathery trim and is surrounded by a thick, short, dense coat of Labrador Retriever hair, resulting in a peculiar rounded appearance that has been described as an “otter” tail. The tail is an extension of the dorsal line at rest or during exercise. It may be held jauntily, but not curled behind. The tail is quite harmonious with the whole, forming a flowing curve from the top of the head to the tip of the tail.
