The many faces of the Labradors

The first type of dog that I want to talk about is the Labrador. There are many types of Labrador.
They come in the English Labrador and the American Labrador. The English Labrador bred
comes from the English bred stock. They tend to be heavier, thicker and blockier. American
Labrador is tall and lanky and comes from an American bred stock dogs. . It doesn’t matter
what kind of breed of dog it is they both come in black, yellow, and chocolate. There is also a
rare color of silver Labrador. One of the most popular breeds in the USA, the Labrador Retriever
is loyal, loving, affectionate and patient, making great family dogs. The height of the male lab is
22-24 inches and the female lab is 21-23 inches but some males can grow up to 100 pounds. The
weight of the male lab is 60-75 pounds and the female lab is 55-70 pounds. They are prone to hip
and elbow dysplasia, PRA, and eye disorders. They can live anywhere from 10-12 years.
Although the Labrador is a big dog it is still the gentlest and considerable dog you can ever
meet. I know all of this information because I have a black Labrador that lives with me. He is
such a lap dog and he likes to jump up on my lap when I am doing my homework or sitting in the
living room. At first when I got him he was a very hyper dog and he was jumping on everything

and everybody but once he got used to us and the house he started to calm down. This is a


picture of my black Labrador, Ringo at Christmas time with his reindeer ears on.
