Labrador Retriever Standard

The Labrador Retriever Standard is a set of guidelines established by kennel clubs to define the ideal physical and behavioral traits of the breed. It describes characteristics such as size, coat color, and temperament. Labrador Retrievers are typically medium to large dogs, known for their friendly nature, intelligence, and energy. They usually have a strong, muscular build, short, water-resistant coats, and a love for play and retrieving. Adhering to this standard ensures that breeders produce healthy, well-adjusted dogs that embody the breed's qualities, making them excellent companions and working dogs.
