Als eigenständige Hunderasse wurde der Labrador am 7. Juli 1903 vom englischen Kennel Club anerkannt. Durch Erfolge bei Ausstellungen wurde seine Zucht rasch populärer.

Retriever do Labrador (ou carinhosamente, Labrador ou Lab), é uma das mais conhecidas raças de cão. Notabiliza-se por sua amabilidade, inteligência e obediência. Devido a estas características, são frequentemente treinados para cães de caça, de assistência, como cães-guia ou de serviço. A raça Labrador é uma das mais populares em todo o mundo, em especial nos Estados Unidos e Europa.

Ótimo cão de companhia, mas atenção, pois este cão adora estar na presença de humanos e odeia estar sozinho. Não é, de todo, adequado para alguém que esteja fora de casa por longas horas durante o dia.

O nome "retriever" deve-se ao facto de o Labrador ter como principal função a busca de caça abatida. Existem mais raças na família dos "retrievers", como, o Golden Retriever, o Toller Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever), o Curlie Coated Retriever, o Chesapeake Bay Retriever ou o Flat Coated Retriever.

It is also the most popular breed of assistance dog in the United States, Australia, and many other countries, as well as being widely used by police and other official bodies for their detection and working abilities.
