Another distinctive feature of the Labrador is its coat. The standard calls for a short, straight and very dense coat that feels fairly hard to the hand. The Labrador will also have a soft, weather-resistant undercoat. A small patch of white will be allowed on the chest but isn t desirable. Blacks should be all black without any hint of brindle markings.
Yellows can vary in color from a fox type of red to a light cream.
Chocolate colored Labradors can be from light to dark chocolate but as with the blacks, no hint of brindle markings is allowed. Tan markings are also a disqualification in chocolates. One of the crowing traits in the Labrador is its temperament. Overall, the breed is renowned for its easy-going, kind disposition. They are known world wide to be outgoing, eager to please and non-aggressive towards humans or other animals.
