dogs in reference to his own dogs originating from the Newfoundland and Labrador peninsula.<\/p>\n<p>And again,<strong>&#8220;Retriever<\/strong>&#8221; which literally means<em>&#8220;bringing back<\/em>&#8221; in English.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Pelo-e-colori-del-mantello-del-Labrador-Retriever\">Coat and coat colors of the Labrador Retriever<\/h4>\n<p>The coat consists of soft, dense but not sparse hair and waterproof undercoat.<\/p>\n<p>It is good to brush it frequently to remove dead hair removed abundantly throughout the year and not only during the molting periods.<\/p>\n<p>The tail is very thick at the base and tapers toward the tip like that of the <em>otter<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36674\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36674\" style=\"width: 143px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-36673\" title=\"Labrador Retriever Otter Tail Veterinary Clinic\" src=\"https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Labrador-Retriever_Coda-di-lontra-Clinica-La-Veterinaria.jpg\" alt=\"Labrador Retriever Otter Tail Veterinary Clinic\" width=\"143\" height=\"229\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36674\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Labrador Retriever Otter Tail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The coat is monochromatic and can be <strong>yellow<\/strong> (cream to white), brown<strong>(chocolate<\/strong>) or<strong>black<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Another color is the little-known and very rare red<strong>fox (red fox<\/strong>), which belongs to the shade of yellow as its hue.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, this particular tawny, almost biscuit-like shade was the most common, but later breeders preferred to select the lighter shades of yellow.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Il-Labrador-Retriever-un-vero-e-proprio-eroe\">The Labrador Retriever: a real hero<\/h4>\n<p>He is a hero not because he saves us in the water, during disasters and emergencies but because with a Labrador by your side, you do not run the risk of being alone, dull and inactive.<\/p>\n<p>Collaborative and with a strong inclination for patrolling, the Labrador breed dog is always driven by a strong need to move, strongly desires to accompany its humans and share time and space with them.<\/p>\n<p><em>A Labrador needs contact and relationship as if they were its oxygen.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"La-sua-tendenza-a-ingrassare-richiede-una-corretta-alimentazione\">His tendency to gain weight requires proper nutrition<\/h4>\n<p>One characteristic of the Labrador Retriever is that it always shows a certain <em>appetite<\/em>: in short, simply put, it is a bottomless pit.<\/p>\n<p>But the reason exists, and it is not a matter of gluttony but rather a <em>genetic defect<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The tendency to eat much more than one should is caused by the essence of the so-called &#8220;satiety&#8221; gene, <strong>POMC (pro-opiomelanocortin)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This genetic mutation in the breed causes <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicalaveterinaria.it\/it\/cani-grassi-obesita-e-sovrappeso-nel-cane\/\">obesity<\/a> with all the complications that excessive weight brings:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Damage to joints, cartilage to ligaments<\/li>\n<li>Respiratory problems, increased blood pressure and heart disease<\/li>\n<li>Reduced liver function<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>resulting in a decrease in the quality and lifespan of the animal.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Adeguato-esercizio-fisico\">Adequate exercise<\/h4>\n<p>Proper diet must be combined with adequate exercise to stimulate the mind and prevent a Labrador from becoming sedentary.<\/p>\n<p>Play and water are his passion consequently he is not the right dog:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To the lazy and the sleepy<\/li>\n<li>To people disinclined to physical contact with the dog<\/li>\n<li>To those &#8220;I have new house with hardwood floors so the dog stays outside&#8221;
