Long Description:
Labradors have 'soft mouths', and were bred for hunting.
Although these dogs are available in yellow (or 'golden') and black, it is entirely possible that this 'blackness' is a result of the 1736 Gin Act (abolished in 1742) when, many public house owners were bound to drape their signs in black velvet, eventually adding the word black to the already established name.
