Labrador Coloring Pages

Labrador puppy coloring pages

The five easy pages have big shapes and bold lines for young children: a Labrador retriever sitting with its tongue out and a tennis ball at its paws, a big smiling Labrador face with a bone-shaped tag, a chubby puppy holding a bone in its mouth, a puppy peeking out of a polka-dot gift box, and a puppy asleep in its bed, hugging a teddy bear under the moon and stars. Two more puppy pages show a mother Labrador with three puppies and a puppy snuggling a kitten.

Born to fetch and swim

Labrador retrievers come from Newfoundland in Canada, where their ancestors helped fishermen haul in nets and fetch fish from icy water. A Lab has a thick, water-resistant coat, and its tail is thick and round like an otter’s, which helps it steer when it swims. That is why so many pages here are about fetching: a Labrador bounding across the park with a stick, one paddling across a pond with a ball, and one leaping high to catch a flying disc.

Black, yellow and chocolate Labs

Labradors come in three colours. Yellow Labs range from pale cream to a deep fox red, chocolate Labs are brown, and black Labs are black all over. The three Labradors page seats one of each side by side. To colour a black Lab, try dark grey rather than solid black so the eyes and outlines still show; for a yellow Lab, layer pale yellow with a little light orange; for a chocolate Lab, use two browns.

Helpers and best friends

Friendly, calm and clever, Labradors are among the most popular dogs in the world and are often trained as guide dogs and assistance dogs. One page shows a guide dog in its harness walking beside its owner. Others show a girl hugging her Labrador as it licks her cheek, a Lab in sunglasses beside a sandcastle at the beach, and a Christmas Labrador in a Santa hat holding a stocking next to the tree.

Realistic Labrador coloring pages for adults

The five detailed pages suit coloured pencils and fine markers: a realistic Labrador retriever lying down with its front paws crossed, a realistic Lab puppy tilting its head among autumn leaves, a Labrador sitting among tall sunflowers, a zentangle Labrador covered in scallops, spirals, teardrops and hearts, and a Labrador mandala of petals, leaves, bones and paw prints.
