How can I tell if a Labrador is pure or not? The Labrador has a clear outline of all parts, well combined, well proportioned, square, square head, short face, wide mouth and wide hindbrain, moderate stop, clear head line, cheeks without a lot of meat, clear bone line of the head, clear outline under the eyes, but the cheeks are not prominent, the head slightly shows a little center line; lips cannot be square or drooping. However, a curve is formed toward the throat.1. The outline of each part is obvious, well combined, well-proportioned, square-shaped, square-headed, short-faced, with a wide mouth and wide back of the head, and a moderate stop. The head and the front face are in parallel to each other, and the length is approximately equal. The stop is moderate and the eyebrows protrude slightly, so the head is not a complete straight line to the tip of the nose. The brow bone emphasizes the stop. The head is well defined, the cheeks do not have a lot of flesh, and the bones of the head are well defined, with a distinct outline under the eyes, but the cheeks are not prominent. The head shows a slight center line; the lips cannot be square or drooping. However, a curve is formed toward the throat. Nose: The nosepiece is wide and the nostrils are very well developed. Yellow or black dogs have black nosepieces, chocolate colored dogs have brown nosepieces, and nosepieces that fade to a light shade are not a defect. Thoroughly pink nosepiece or nosepiece lacking any pigmentation is a disqualification. Teeth: Strong and neat teeth. Ears: Hanging, moderately close to the head, positioned rather back and slightly below the head; slightly above the level where the eyes are. The ears should not be too large or heavy, but in harmony with the proportions of the head, extending to the inside of the eyes when pulled forward. Eyes: Sharp, friendly eyes showing good temperament, intelligent and quick-witted are the characteristics of this breed. The eyes are medium sized and positioned apart, neither protruding nor positioned very deep. Black or yellow dogs have brown eye color and chocolate colored dogs have brown or hazel eye color. Black or yellow eyes make the expression harsh and unwanted. Small eyes, eyes positioned too close together, round and prominent eyes are not typical of the breed. Black or yellow Labrador Retrievers have black eye rings and chocolate Labrador Retrievers have brown eye rings. The lack of pigment in the eyes is a disorder. 2. The amount of bone should be sufficient, look at the size of the paws, the bones are tight, the muscles are explained and developed. The coat of the Labrador Retriever is different. The coat is short, straight and very dense. The Labrador has three colors: black, yellow and chocolate. However, if there are hair of other colors intermingled, it is not pure. A black chest with a handful of white is considered out of order.
