Labrador Retriever Information

Thought you might like to see this great photo of Phoenix- we bought him from you Feb 2005, a son of Prize My Eyes Cochise and Prize My Eyes Kajun Kasey. Since living in Houston, he has moved with us to Holland and now to Ireland - this is a picture from the Wicklow Mountains south of Dublin - and he has received compliments all over the world about how handsome he is!  Thank you for such a great dog!  from owner Linda Murray

Labradors are a medium breed with males typically weighing 65 to 80 lb (30 to 36 kg) and females 55 to 70 lb (25 to 32 kg) under The Labrador Retriever Club Standard which is adopted by The American Kennel Club.  Their coats are short and smooth or bushy and they possess a straight, powerful tail like that of an otter. The majority of the characteristics of this breed, with the exception of colour, are the result of breeding to produce a working retriever.

Most of our Labradors have pedigrees that combine those from England, United States, Canada and Australia.  The best of all countries combined to produce an outstanding Labrador Retriever unavailable from others.

The Labrador breed tends to shed hair twice annually and Lab hair is fairly short and straight which makes for easy maintenance and clean up.  The otter-like tail, webbed toes and powerful muscles of the Labrador Retriever make them excellent swimmers. Their interwoven coat is also relatively waterproof, providing more assistance for swimming. The tail acts as a rudder for changing direction.
