What is a blockhead lab

English Labs are calmer, sturdier, more levelheaded, and much, much easier to train. They tend to be a bit shorter in stature, meeting the AKC regulations; they have a heavier build, thicker tail, and a block head.

English Lab Head

The English Lab has a larger, heavier head than the working type Lab. American Labs will often have a narrower skull with a less distinctive “stop”—that’s the point where the skull rises upwards quite steeply from the base of the muzzle.

The two different types of Labradors are American Labradors, also known as field bred or working Labradors, and the English Labradors, bred for showing.

For example, black labs are highly regarded as a working dog, so as a result, are generally thought of as being the most intelligent and quick learners.

The Golden Retriever and the Labrador Retriever are similar in their appearance. They are both medium-sized dogs, and the Labrador only beats the Golden with half an inch in height at 24.5 inches at the withers (paw to shoulder). … The Labrador has a wider variety of coat colors than the Golden.

The Fox Red Lab is a dark shade of the traditional yellow Labrador Retriever. We love this red Retriever because it looks so different to the pale yellow coated dog you commonly see. But actually they are the same breed, and technically still classified as a Yellow Labrador.

With regard to the AKC, many silver Labs have been registered as pedigree purebred Labrador Retrievers. Silver is not recognized as a color and not permitted in the show ring.

Two yellow Labradors mated together will never throw brown or black puppies. All their offspring will be yellow. This is because yellow dogs do not possess the big E gene which is needed to switch off the masking effect.

The Fox Red Labrador is a rare color, and he is undoubtedly hard to come by. … He is described as being a deeper, or darker shade, of the yellow Labrador. This is just as common as the white Labrador being described as being a lighter shade of yellow.

White labs are essentially the paler version of your classic yellow lab. In fact, the American Kennel Club recognizes white labs as yellow labs. Typically, white labs will have pigmented noses and dark eyes along with their distinctive white fur.

Silver Labs are beautiful slate grey Labrador Retrievers. Whilst they are very rare they still have the same friendly and happy personality of regular Labs. A genetic quirk and controversial breeding history make this breed different from the three typical Lab colors (Black, Brown and Yellow).

Red Fox Lab Puppy

The average Lab puppy (with a traditional coat color) will cost anywhere between $800-$1200 USD with Kennel Club registered puppies being more expensive. Red Fox Lab puppies cost more than the traditional shades, mostly due to supply and demand, and so will cost around $1,500.

Chocolate Labrador

The rarest of the three major Labrador colors, the Chocolate Lab is beautiful and adorable with a deep brown, chocolate-colored coat.

When it comes to the best labrador colour, the general rule among the shooting fraternity is that black is good, yellow acceptable, but chocolate is strictly for the show bench. Black has always been the dominant colour in the shooting field and in trials.

How much do Labradors cost to buy? The price of a Labrador puppy will vary from breeder to breeder, and from place to place. In the USA as a rough guide, you are looking at $800 to $1200.

Silver Labs are just like any other type of Labrador: loving, intelligent and energetic! Of course, there is one big difference; they have a striking coat color. Their silver-grey-blue coat means they stand out from the usual crowd of Labs.

Males stand 22.5 to 24.5 inches, and weigh 65 to 80 pounds. Females stand 21.5 to 23.5 inches, and weigh 55 to 70 pounds.

While pure Chocolate Labs, Yellow Labs, and Black Labs from reputable breeders may cost anywhere from $500 to $1000, Silver Lab puppies typically sell for $800 to $1500.
