The most important one is their thick double coat and high oil production. Combined, the coat and oil helps keep the dog warm in cold water, as well as help prevent his skin from drying out. However, this also causes the Labrador to stink quickly and shed more then any other breed.

The wide yet long shape of their muzzle also aids in their "soft mouth", a very prized trait of a hunting dog. Basically, it means they can carry a duck without damaging a single feather!

Another physical trait is the black rimming of their eyes, a trait that is common in northern bred dogs and dogs bred in general sunny areas. The black skin around their eyes helps keep sunlight from blinding them and helps prevent "snow blindness".
