A dog with heavy water-resistant coat that can be trained to retrieve game.
Any of several breeds of hunting dogs, often used as guide dogs for the blind. The commonest breeds are the Labrador retriever, large, smooth-coated, and usually black or yellow; and the golden retriever, with either flat or wavy coat. They can grow to 60 cm/2 ft high and weigh 40 kg/90 lb.
Retrievers were originally developed for retrieving birds and other small game. Their gentle, even-tempered nature makes them popular companion dogs, and Labradors are also used in police work.
