About Us & Things To Consider When You Are Looking For A New Puppy

The Labrador Retriever...

About the Breed:

Origin:

The Labrador descended from dogs taken to Newfoundland by explorers, fishermen and settlers and evolved by natural selection. The breed was known by several names, among them the black Water Dog, the Lesser Newfoundland and the St. John’s Dog. Excellent retrievers of fish and game, they often sailed with the fishermen and in the early 1800s, English sportsmen acquired a few of the hardy dogs off the fishing boats. The British further developed the breed by crossing it with other sporting dogs, notably the Flat-coated Retriever, the Curly-coated Retriever and the Tweed Water Spaniel. It wasn’t long before the Lab took over as Britain’s most popular gun dog. The breed was first recognized by The Kennel Club (England) in 1903. In addition to its prowess as a gun dog, the Lab has distinguished itself as a police and war dog as well as a guide dog for the blind.

Temperament:

His gentle ways, intelligence and adaptability have done much to account for the Lab’s popularity as a pet. His disposition is kindly and outgoing coupled with an eager-to-please nature and general non-aggressiveness.

Activity Level

Excelling as a field dog as well as in obedience, the Labrador enjoys outdoor exercise and is especially fond of swimming. He’ll happily retrieve until your arm gives out. He’s a great family pet, good with children, that does well in suburban or country settings.

Height/Weight

Dogs will stand from 22.5-24.5 in (57-62 cm) at the shoulder and weigh 60-75 lb (27-34 kg). Females are slightly smaller at 21.5-23.5 in (55-60 cm) and 55-70 lb (25-31.5 kg).

Coat

The coat is short, straight, dense and feels hard to the touch.

Color:

Labradors may be black, yellow or chocolate in colour.

(Although the American Kennel Club has recently included “Silver” into a color for Labrador Retrievers, CPL does NOT breed the diluted gene "Silver" Labs as they are NOT true Labrador Retrievers in the sense of the Labrador’s Natural Historic Heritage)
