Photohunt: Different
This week’s PhotoHunt theme is Different. When I think of Different, I think of our boys, the two yellow labrador retrievers.
They are both yellow labs but Ranger, the first picture, is a show breed, the English breed. Cooper, the second picture, is the field breed, the American breed. What’s the difference between them? The show breed is shorter, very storky, shorter snout, the head is wider, has a thicker coat and tail and they are mellower/calmer. The field breed is taller, longer in length and snout, the ears are a little smaller and shorter, coat is lighter and so is the tail, and the head is not as wide. Field breed labs are much more energetic, very hyper and loves to work for you.

They are both night and day. Ranger is a more relaxed, happy go lucky kinda dog. Cooper, on the other hand, is hyper and sort of like a big puppy dog!!!LOL!

Amazing how they’ve adapted for their line of “work.” Shorter ears less likely to get burrs in them. Longer nose better for smelling. Narrower head for sticking into bunny holes.
They are both BEAUTIFUL dogs! -
I wouldn’t have noticed the difference if you hadn’t explained. They both look like great dogs – look at their expressions! Also different.
-
I love these shots showing contrast between the two breeds! I think that the English breed is a better looking dog, although I’m sure you love them both!

One fat & One thin! Hahaha…..

Wow! I wouldn’t have noticed without your description. They’re beautiful though

They are such beautiful dogs, quite different in looks as you said, but both look nice natured. Lovely to see them.

They are both beautiful dogs in spite of their differences. Great take on the theme.

Hi Dawn, love the pics of your two Labs. Ahh, you have two ‘Canadians’ at home as I think they origin from Labrador, Canada? Thats what I read somewhere.
Me? I have always love Doberman’s.
By the way, enjoyed using your name in my story. Ha ha.
Actually among the group of girls, one was a very pretty Nonya girl, and I thought of you, ha ha.
I’m bringing back some of these stories inview of new friends, as well a un-edited version this time.

Aha, didn’t even know there is an American and English breed labradors till I read your post… And from what you’d described, they are indeed different.

Very handsome boys! Love labs, we’ve had a few black labs! You can see our black lab/husky mixed as my “different” post. He has one blue and one brown eye!
