English or show laboratories tend to be smaller and thicker than the American or field laboratories. That said, it is not unusual for a U.S. laboratory to be short and robust and a English Labrador to be larger and thin many breeders because of the huge amount of small-scale or backyard farmers who actively race.

High Energy
