Excerpt from the Labrador Retriever Standard
from the AKC:
"Coat
The coat is a distinctive feature of the Labrador Retriever. It should be short,
straight and very dense, giving a fairly hard feeling to the hand. The Labrador
should have a soft, weather-resistant undercoat that provides protection from
water, cold and all types of ground cover. A slight wave down the back is
permissible. Woolly coats, soft silky coats, and sparse slick coats are not
typical of the breed, and should be severely penalized.
Color
The Labrador Retriever coat colors are black, yellow and chocolate. Any other
color or a combination of colors is a disqualification. A small white spot on
the chest is permissible, but not desirable. White hairs from aging or scarring
are not to be misinterpreted as brindling. Black--Blacks are all black. A black
with brindle markings or a black with tan markings is a disqualification.
Yellow--Yellows may range in color from fox-red to light cream, with variations
in shading on the ears, back, and underparts of the dog. Chocolate--Chocolates
can vary in shade from light to dark chocolate. Chocolate with brindle or tan
markings is a disqualification."
