Assistance Dogs
The Labrador's loyalty and docile nature make them perfect to use as assistance dogs. In addition to the traditional hunting, tracking and retrieving, they are the most popular breed to use as a guide dog for the blind, and are frequently used for disabled care, search and rescue and as psychiatric service dogs.Color Variants
Only three standard colors are recognized by the American Kennel Club for show dogs. Other colors occur due to recessive genes. A variation called "Dudley" exists where the dog will have no pigment in the nose and a pink color around the eye. Dogs with these disorders are primarily yellow Labradors, though they are usually subtle, and it is rare to find a Labrador with a full pink nose and facial area.
