The American Labrador, which is also often called the Field Labrador, is bred mainly for hunting and fieldwork. These Labs are taller, leaner, and more athletic as compared to their English counterparts. American Labs have a longer muzzle, a narrower head, and a strong drive to work — which makes them perfect companions for people who have an active lifestyle, hunters, or those involved in dog sports like agility or obedience training. American Labradors are known to be extremely loyal and trainable; they also love having a job to do.
