Labrador Retriever, breed of sporting dog, trained
to discover and fetch killed or wounded game, principally aquatic birds or
pheasants. The breed originated in Newfoundland, Canada, at some unknown
time and was imported into England early in the 19th century. It was known
as a type of Newfoundland dog until about 1887, when it received its
present name, probably to distinguish it from various types of
Newfoundland dogs used as retrievers. The Kennel Club of England
recognized it as a separate breed in 1903. The male is 58 to 64 cm (23 to
25 in) high at the shoulder and weighs 27 to 34 kg (60 to 75 lb); the
female is somewhat smaller. The dog has a short and exceedingly dense
black, yellow, or chocolate-colored coat that is almost impervious to
water. It has a wide skull, medium-sized ears hanging fairly close to the
head, eyes that are usually black or brown, a wide, deep chest, and
straight legs. The characteristic "otter" tail of the Labrador retriever
is of medium length, very thick at the base, and tapering gradually to the
tip. The tail is covered thickly with the same kind of short, dense hair
that is found in the coat.
