Labrador Retrievers are a distinct breed and are not a mix between a Labrador and a Golden Retriever. The term "Retriever" indicates that they belong to the Gundog group, originally bred to retrieve game birds for the English aristocracy. Labrador Retrievers come in three recognised colours: Black, Yellow, and Chocolate. The chocolate variety can range in colour from milk chocolate to dark chocolate. The Labrador Retriever Standard is the official document describing the desired appearance, traits, and behaviours of a purebred Labrador.
