The labrador collectors are hunting dogs whose particular skill is the recovery, hence its name. The collection is the task of bringing the piece hunted (prey dead or injured) to where he is the hunter. English is known to the dogs recovered by the generic retriever, which means recovery.

The collector is a labrador dog of average size, lightweight, strong and resilient, which can be presented in three colors: yellow, black or chocolate (dark brown). Their ears and their eyes hanging candy, in addition to having punched his face, give them a friendly expression.

The use given to this race has helped establish some of their physical characteristics, such as the hairy tail that serves as a rudder or waterproof coat, which helps a lot when the dog has to collect water. The psychological characteristics of these dogs have also been selected for animals and obedient workers.
