At Country Meadow Labradors, we aim to produce beautiful and intelligent purebred English Labrador puppies. But what does that mean? What's the different between an English and American Labrador?
Appearance
English Labs are typically shorter, stockier, and broader than Americans. Their tails and fur are usually thicker, and their paws may be larger. English Labradors also have wider heads and shorter snouts.
American Labradors, on the other hand, are tall and thin. They have slim bodies and their fur isn't as thick as an English Lab. Their heads are smaller and their snouts are longer.
Temperament
English Labradors tend to be more laid back. Their personality allows them to be great family pets and companions. While they still love to run and play, they are definitely the calmer one of the two.
American Labradors have more energy. They are often bred for hunting and field trials. This is not to say that they can't be house pets, but they can be too hyper for some families.
English Labs are considered to be "show" dogs, while Americans are commonly referred to as "field" dogs. Overall, it is most important to choose the style of Labrador that best suits you and your family's lifestyle.
