The field Lab is also not an official sub-breed, but a distinction used to describe dogs that have been specifically bred to have the qualities necessary for a successful hunting dog: boundless energy and more endurance than most families want in a pet dog. These Labs are a great choice for someone who wants to participate actively with his or her dog in field trials and who has money and time to spare.
Field labs will have lots of field titles in their pedigree and are usually much more active. Successful field trial dogs take a lot of training. Attend some field trial events to see what it’s all about. Then look for a breeder who has demonstrated success at producing dogs that have done well in field trials. Then start researching, learning, and practicing.
