How to identify a Labrador

How to identify Labrador? Labrador’s coat color can only be black, yellow, chocolate, other colors are not qualified; Labrador’s head is larger, the frontal segment is obvious, the nose is wider, the nosepiece must be black to be a purebred; purebred Labrador’s tail is thick and straight, it cannot be curled behind. Whether the Labrador is a purebred or not should pay attention to its coat color. Purebred Labrador Retriever has three colors, black, yellow, and chocolate; Labrador’s fur is double-layered and amazing, a layer of soft down that allows them to stay warm inside the cold water, – a thick hard outer layer of fur that is waterproof. The purebred Labrador must have a crisp, well-defined head with a broad top that makes the head look quite large. The top of the head is broad, making the head look large. The frontal segment should be pronounced, 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 lean back a bit, with a low hanging but not heavy feeling. All parts are clearly outlined, well combined, well-proportioned, square-shaped, square-headed, short-faced, with a wide mouth and wide hindbrain, and a moderate stop. The head and the front face are on parallel surfaces, and the lengths are approximately equal. The stop is medium and the eyebrows protrude slightly, so that the head is not a complete straight line to the tip of the nose. The Labrador’s front feet are straight from the shoulders down to the ground, with a dense arch to the toes. The hind ankles are moderately bent and the limbs are of moderate length, in balance with all parts of the body. When observing the Labrador walk, there is no sign of the elbows going outwards. More precisely, the elbows and legs appeared neat relative to the body and not too close together. Straight forward, there is no pacing or intertwining of steps. The legs form a straight line, with all parts moving in the same plane. The Labrador’s tail has no feathering and is surrounded by a thick, short, dense coat, resulting in a peculiar rounded appearance that has been described as an “otter” tail. The tail is a unique feature of this species. It is very thick at the root and tapers toward the tip. The tail is an extension of the dorsal line at rest or during movement. It may be held jauntily, but not curled behind.
