LABRADOR RETRIEVERS
The Labrador Retriever
The sturdy, well-balanced Labrador Retriever can, depending on the sex, stand from 21.5 to 24.5 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 65 to 85 pounds. The dense, hard coat comes in yellow, black, and a chocolate. The head is wide, the eyes glimmer with kindliness, and the thick, tapering “otter tail” seems to be forever signalling the breed’s innate eagerness. Regular brushing will help to keep the shedding under control.
