The Labrador may be the most popular breed of dog in the world. They are gentle, intelligent, energetic and good natured. Labrador Retrievers are widely used by police for their detection and working abilities. Labradors can be large, with males typically weighing between 65–80 lbs and females 55–70 lbs. There are three colors for Labs, black, yellow (cream to gold), and chocolate. Show-bred Labs are heavier, shorter, and have a thicker coat and tail. Field Labs are generally longer legged, lighter, and more light in build. Approximately 60–70% of all guide dogs in the United States are Labradors. The first Labradors were born in England after 1850: they were black. The Labrador retriever descends from Newfoundland where they were the helpers of fisherman, recovering nets and fish.
