Most
adult male Labrador Retrievers are between 22 and 24 inches at the
shoulders and females are about one inch smaller. |
| |
Labrador
Retrievers should be medium-sized and were never intended to be considered
giants. The normal weight range for the breed is 55-80 pounds. |

All
Labrador Retrievers have serviceable, water-resistant coats and are
relatively easy to groom. |
| |
A brief
daily once-over with a flea comb and a thorough weekly brushing are about
all that is required. |
 |
| |
 |
They
do shed, but not excessively. They are a double-coated breed and the
brushing will help remove dead under-coat and bring a shine to the
fur. They only require baths periodically. |
| |
There
are three "approved" colors of Labrador Retrievers: black,
yellow, and chocolate. These colors are basically governed by the
three sets of genes. |
