The Difference Between English & American Labrador Retrievers
American Labs are known for being field trial and hunting dogs. English Labs are known to be a bit calmer and laid back. If you choose to add an English Labrador Retriever to your family, this doesn’t mean your English Lab pup will be dozing around the house all day. Labrador Retrievers are known for enjoying their exercise and having an enormous amount of energy, whether that’s taking hikes in the wood with you and your kids or playing games of fetch in the backyard.
English Labradors are show dogs through and through. It’s why they’re known as the “Bench” variety of labs and why you won’t see them out in fields. They almost always fit right in the kennel club’s acceptable sizes and ranges because that’s what breeders were looking for.
They’re high-energy dogs, but they don’t have near the same stamina as an American Labrador. While that’s a huge part of what makes an English Labrador an English Labrador, that’s not all that they’re known for.
The American Lab is an excellent choice for those looking for a working farm dog.
Just because the American Labrador is a working dog doesn’t mean they’re no-nonsense. They make great family dogs, and they love being in the thick of things. The busier the house, the better, and they’ll fit right in.
They’re loving and affectionate, and they do great in homes with kids of any age or size.
These Labs are a commitment to lifelong friendship and loyalty. Perfect for those seeking an endearing, easily trainable canine friend, the English Chocolate Lab stands as a premier choice among dog enthusiasts.
