The English Labrador is known for their sturdy, strong frame. They are also high-energy for their size. They require regular, daily exercise in order to maintain proper health and their calm personality.
The English Labrador is susceptible to elbow and hip dysplasia, along with various heart and eye conditions. However, a careful and selective breeder can largely avoid these conditions being an issue. Recherche Labs breeds some of the healthiest English Labs in the world.
Regular brushing of the Lab’s thick coat is necessary to maintain their full beauty and comfort. A good weekly brushing should be part of your regular routine, with two brushings a week being helpful.
The English Labrador Retriever can become overweight if not provided a proper nutrition. They will often eat more than they should, and will often exercise too much, which can cause other issues. So finding the right balance is vitally important.
