The History

Nowadays the origins of Labrador produce so much confusion. The legend narrates that Labrador was born from the union between a terranova and an otter, there is someone that talks instead of an intersection of the same terranova to a hunting dog. The history tells however us, thanks to a sailor's writings in 1794, of the presence of Labrador in the island of Terranova, of a dog from the shaved hair and dark of color, that helped the fishermen to recover in the nets the lost fish. He had called the dog of St John. In those years the island of Terranova was under the English jurisdiction and for this reason and also for its very fishy waters, it was destination of many sailors English, that to the return in their country, they began to care some dogs from the dimensions more redoubts in comparison to the Terranova, but very more agile on the dry land. We are in the 800's and Labrador it is already popular near the hunters and it was note one of these that it began to raise the race. They will be however Lord Home and the Duke of Buccleuch the most important people for her "fixation" of the race. The first layout of the standard goes up again to 1887, but only in 1904, the Kennel Club in London, recognized him. Labradors of those years were black only and only in 1889 from a black cucciolata it was born "Well of Hyde", the first pup from the yellow mantle. Unfortunately, to the beginning, these subjects were suppressed for theirs not tipicità, but subsequently, thanks to Miss Wormald, they were mostly appreciated. With his breeding "Knaith Kennel", this type of mantle made famous and perhaps Labrador is known today especially in this coloration.
