What Are ‘English Type’ Labradors
English Labradors, like all labs, are loyal, obedient and playful making them the perfect breed for family pets, as well as hunting dogs, show dogs, guild dogs and other working dogs.
The English type is bred to conform more to the ‘breed standard’. The English Lab’s head is wider with a more pronounced stop, their muzzle is shorter, the face is fuller and they have a thick neck and barrel chest compared to the appearance the American or Field type Labrador. They also have the famous thick “otter tail” and a thick, double, water-resistant coat.
