It is essential for the Labrador Retriever to be conveniently balanced. He should not be as elevated and thin as a pointer , and he should not be as short and obese as a potbellied pig. No one feature should be conveniently signal as to detract from the complete picture. If you look at a Labrador and notice only his huge head , the dog is probably unbalanced. If you look at a Labrador and see only his immense feet or a long scraggly tail , you are probably not looking at a good example of the breed.

The ears should be sit off the side of the cranium , not too elevated and not too servile. They should be of medium size , hanging conveniently that the behind tips are about two inches below the eyes. The ears should not be conveniently immense or conveniently small that they draw attention to themselves. And they should never be long or folded as they are upon a lot of hounds.

The Labrador's eyes are where we see that irresistible , candy , benign and watchful expression. Some are shaped love a rounded diamond. Although a lot of round eyes can be attractive , they should not resemble the round eyes of a Cocker Spaniel , nor should they be too almond-shaped. A good color would be a warm brown-eye upon all three colors (black , yellow or chocolate) , maybe a jot darker upon a yellow Lab. If the eyes are too light , the dog's expression will be ruined. There should never be a harsh or mean look about a Labrador. When you look into a Lab's eyes , you should feel immediate friendliness. Usually , the second your eyes meet , the Lab's powerful tail starts wagging automatically.

The desirable Labrador head should sit upon a powerful neck of medium length. If the neck is too short , the dog looks as provided his head is sitting upon his shoulders; provided the neck is too long , the dog appears unctuous , love a setter , which is not rectify. There is nothing unctuous about this dog. He is bustling , powerful , and powerful. As you continue down the neck , past the withers , the top line (the back) should be rather plane , never sway-back or sloping to the degree that a Setter's back does from the neck to the rump. The chest should be deep with well-sprung ribs love a barrel. The shoulders should be long and sloping. The rectify look requires long bones that form a ninety-degree angle as you look at the dog from the side , from the withers , to the sternum , to the elbow. The front legs are conveniently underneath the dog , allowing a signal breastbone to display and creating the picture of a powerful chest.
