Joe Diffie is a beautiful male from our British girl Britt. He is a 70 pound male with a beautiful attitude and wonderful thick coat, nice short otter tail. Loves to retrieve and loves everyone he meets. He is half American lab and his dad is a hunt titled dog as well as his mother.
Joe Diffie is very very quiet in the kennel or house. Loves to go for rides and likes to be up front passenger.
Joe Diffie is very smart and learns just from watching. He also is a problem solver, as he is the only one that will reverse open a closed dog door. He also is the only one that will make sure is bowl is set up high to eat. He will pick it up and move it up on his kuranda bed if we don't hang it from the kennel.
Pups from him can hunt, run field trials or just be a pet. The good thing with his size is you have more room on your bed, couch or car.
Also, have noticed way less shedding of hair with him when compared to the larger English dogs.
You would not go wrong with one of his pups. You get brains and beauty all in the smaller package. Perfect house dog or apartment dog.
Ask us about him and we are more than happy to talk about him. There is information below on the British Labs.
Thank you for reading this.

About the British Labrador
Physical Characteristics
The British Labrador is unique in many ways. British Labs are shorter, slimmer, and have finer features than American Labs. Females typically run 45-60 pounds and males run 50-75 pounds. British Labradors come in three colors: black, yellow, and red.
Temperament
The British Labrador has been bred for centuries to have a calm and relaxed temperament. Unlike other breeds, these labs are calm and relaxed from the day they're born. They are not high-strung dogs - they don't typically chew, bite, jump, etc. British Labradors are a highly intelligent breed of dog that analyzes situations more so than other breeds.
These calm, sweet, loving, and even-tempered dogs are easy to train and need a soft hand both on the field and at home. The easy-going temperament and playfulness of the British Labrador makes it the perfect choice for a family dog, as well as a hunting companion. They are especially good with kids.
Hunting Ability
Along with their calm nature comes a very strong drive to hunt and retrieve. British Labradors are kind of like Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde - they're mellow dogs that just hang out around the house, but put them in the hunting field and they turn into hunting machines. They're calm enough to hunt with handicapped hunters, yet have enough heart and drive to hunt for groups of 6-10 hunters releasing over 200 birds in one day.
Many people find it hard to believe that there is such a difference in temperament and hunting ability between the American Labrador and the British Labrador. What we've discovered is that a Labrador with a good pedigree, whether British or American, is typically bred from a line that contains many field trial champions. A British Labrador will have more calmness and hunting drive bred into it, while an American Labrador
will be bred to be "amped" and to withstand high pressure. This is due in large part to the way field trials are conducted in the UK versus in the US.
In the US, AKC field trials involve dogs mechanically obeying commands - some of which are counter-intuitive to the dog - and retrieving dummies or dead game. In the UK, field trials involve live game and real-life hunting and shooting scenarios.
Dogs must mark and then retrieve dead and wounded game. Finding and retrieving game is of utmost importance. In addition, dogs are not allowed to even whimper when on the line or they'll be disqualified. Therefore, British Labradors are bred for strong hunting and scenting abilities as well as a calm temperament. Above all, the British Labrador's scenting ability is extraordinary and far superior to other breeds. They are exceptional upland game bird dogs and strong swimmers, making them excellent waterfowl dogs as well. Considered a “gentleman’s dog,” British Labradors are easy to train and, once trained, become an exceptional hunting companion.
