Is She An English Lab?

Lab people know there are several "types" of labs: English, field, and American.  Generally, English labs are stocky, blocky heads, shorter.  Field labs are lean, lanky, bred for hunting in the field.  And American labs, I think, are sort of like American cars: big, flashy, and break down a lot.  Sage is more of the English style, and Annie, well, she isn't just a field lab, she is a hunter herself.

Sage, I am convinced, has more of her mother's genes, even though she has her father's color and blocky style.  Her mother was quite sweet.  And spent the better part of her life underneath my friend Mary's desk.

English labs.  They know how to live with class.
