I have bred and trained AMERICAN LABS since the 80's. These are Field Trial level dogs that have a lot of drive and look good. British dogs seem to have shorter legs and a more barrel shaped chest - because of this body trait, it is hard to keep weight off them in older years and that leads to hip and joint issues. Different strokes...
