Black Lab: Vancouver, BC

“Normal“ Labradors are either yellow or chocolate/brown. But the black Labrador is a lit bit different, it came from the St John’s dog of Newfoundland and got bred in England to become black. Also, they used to have a longer black fur and more upright ears.

Today, most Black Labradors will have a white spot either at the bottom of their chest or under one of the paws.

Black Labs are supposed to be nice, enthusiastic dogs. Not this dog! He was growling at my dog and was ready to attack both of us. Her owner was trying to restrain her. I was OK with it since I had my dog on my right (the other side of the dog). The best is when there are two humans between the dogs until the start to sniff each other.
