How to judge the appearance of a Labrador? A Labrador with good appearance should have a clear head outline, wide nostrils, strong and neat teeth, and moderately sized eyes; it must have rich bones, dense bones, well-developed muscles, and a broad chest. The coat of the Labrador Retriever is short and smooth, with colors ranging from black, yellow and chocolate.

The head has clear lines, and the cheeks do not have a lot of flesh. The bone lines of the head are clear, and the contours under the eyes are clear, but the cheeks are not prominent. The head shows a slight center line; the lips must not be square or droopy. But form a curve towards the throat.

The nose is broad and the nostrils are well developed. The nose will be black on yellow or black dogs and brown on chocolate dogs. Fading of the nose to a light shade is not a fault. Nose that is completely pink or that lacks any pigment is a disqualification. Teeth The teeth are strong and regular.

The ears hang, moderately close to the head, and the position is rather back, slightly lower than the head; slightly above eye level. The ears should not be too large or heavy, but should be in proportion to the head and extend to the inside of the eyes when pulled forward.

Sharp eyes and friendly eyes show good temperament. Intelligence and alertness are characteristics of this breed. The eyes are of medium size, set widely apart, neither protruding nor deeply set. Black or yellow dogs have brown eyes, and chocolate dogs have brown or hazel eyes. Black or yellow eyes make the expression harsh and undesirable. Small eyes, eyes placed too close together, and round, protruding eyes are not typical of the breed. The eye rims are black in black or yellow Labrador Retrievers and brown in chocolate Labrador Retrievers. Lack of pigment in the eye circles is a disqualification.

The bone mass should be sufficient, depending on the size of the paws, the bones should be tight, and the muscles should be strong and developed. A bigger front chest is better.

The coat of the Labrador Retriever is distinctive. The coat is short, straight and very dense. When you touch it when you are young, it will feel very hard. The colors are black, yellow and chocolate. But if there is hair mixed with other colors, it is not pure. If there is a bunch of white on the black chest, it is disqualified.
