Labrador Retrievers are a type of gundog, bred to retrieve shot fowl, often from water. Their intelligence and ease of training makes them also well-suited to law enforcement and assistance work, as well as superb family pets. Labradors are popular subjects for pencil portraits, with the Golden Retreiver and Black Labradors working particularly well in graphite pencil, and coloured pencil bringing out the rich deep brown of the Chocolate Labrador. Find out how to commission your Labrador Retriever pencil portrait here.
