Official breed standards:
There is a great deal of variety among Labradors. The following characteristics are typical of the conformation show bred (bench-bred) lines of this breed in the United States, and are based on the AKC standard.[18] Significant differences between UK and US standards are noted.
Coat: The Lab's coat should be short and dense, but not wiry. The coat is described as 'water-resistant' or more accurately 'water-repellent' so that the dog does not get cold when taking to water in the winter. That means that the dog naturally has a slightly dry, oily coat. Acceptable colours are black, yellow (ranging from ivory or creme to fox red), and chocolate.
Type in "Fox red labrador" into google, they look pretty sweet and in the US some people specifically breed them.
Wasn't there a well known line of fox reds at some stage in NZ? top hunting/trials blood from memory? perhaps @Ruff remembers
For those in doubt........a quick guide to recognition of some of the "Lab " types:

Our neighbour had a red lab from American blood lines many years ago.
