Given an ability to work in a bidible way for the handler and excluding the extremes of both work and show Labradors (the cliched whippet working lab and the fat unathletic show lab) and the difficulties of getting good standing shots of many field trial Labradors, what are the physical differences between both types underneath the coat and weight. You be the judge!!
