dog physique

- The Labrador is a strongly built dog with a massive appearance.

- The kidneys are short

- The skull is wide with a marked stop

- The nose is wide, the muzzle is powerful (not whistling)

- The tail, a characteristic trait of the breed, thick at the base and gradually thinning along the length (and this from birth). Covered with short, thick, dense hair, giving an appearance of roundness like the "otter's tail", it must be carried cheerfully, but not be curved over the back.

- Jaw strong and of medium length, the teeth are strong and have a scissor bite, perfect and regular, i.e. the upper incisors cover the lower ones in close contact and are well established square to the jaws .

- The eyes are brown or hazel, and the ears set rather back fall against the head.

- The forelimbs have good bone and are straight from the elbow to the ground and the shoulders are long and sloping.

- The hind limbs are well developed, the rump does not descend towards the tail. The hocks are well let down (the cow hock is to be avoided)

- The feet are round and compact, well arched toes and well developed pads.

- The gaits are free, the hind and fore limbs move parallel to the axis of the body.

- Males have testicles well descended into the scrotum and appear normal.


Any deviation from the above is considered a defect, which will be penalized according to its seriousness.

Caution

Originally, the dog of St John's is coloredblack and the initial standard accepted only black. The race arrived by the English aristocrats between 1820 and 1880, is fixed at the beginning of the XX th century, and recognized by the English Kennel Club in1903.

The first Labradors were imported into France at the end of the 19th century by aristocrats.

The Retriever Club de France was created in 1911 , for hunters.

However, the first yellow Labradors were officially recognized only in 1924 by the "Yellow Labrador club", the same fate for chocolates which were not recognized until the 1970s.


Attention , only the colors yellow (ranging from light to red fox), black, and brown (chocolate) are recognized, official, and listed in the breed standard.

Any other color is the result of a crossbreeding of races other than the Labrador, resulting in an undesirable genetic modification (of the allele) of the color, leading to the appearance of non-compliant colors such as "sylver", "charcoal" etc., puppies wearing this unofficial dress cannot be confirmed and therefore cannot claim breeding.
