Why pick British Labradors for your companion? |
British Labradors are different in many ways, British labs are generally shorter and stockier with blockier heads than the American Labrador. Females typically weigh between 45-55 lbs with males running approximately 50-65 lbs. British Labs have been bred for centuries to have a calmer, more relaxed temperament. They typically are not high strung dogs, these calm good natured, intelligent dogs need a softer hand to train. The easy-going temperament of the British Lab makes it a perfect choice for a family dog as well as a hunting companion. In addition to their calm nature they typically exhibit a strong desire to hunt and retrieve. Often you will hear people say "British dogs are too soft", we believe this comes from the difference in the Field Trails are conducted in the USA and the UK. In the US, AKC field Trials require a dog to mechanically obey commands and often conduct itself more according to the handler than its natural instinct. US AKC Field Trials often involve "Blinds" (where the dog doesn't see the bird fall) out to 150- 200 yds, where as the UK Field Trials involve real life hunting situations. Shorter "blinds" (who shoots a bird at 200 yds anyway) and more realistic use of the dog's nose as well as better manners are the name of the game in the UK. Therefore the British Labradors are bred for a strong hunting drive and scenting abilities as well as a calm demeanor. British Labradors are exceptional upland bird dog and strong natural swimmers, making them excellent waterfowl dogs, with an easy hand, once trained they become an excellent hunting companion as well as being family friendly.
