The Labrador retriever’s body type has evolved to suit his job, as well the preference of breeders, owners and kennel organizations.
In America, these variations are categorized as either English or American Labrador types. The two country’s kennel organization standards also differ slightly, while generally describing the Lab we love.
In America, the Labrador, referred to as an English show/confirmation Labrador, generally is a stocky, short legged, powerful, Rocky Balboa-type Lab, with a broad head.
