1780. aasta juulis saatis Louis XVI Prantsusmaalt Ameerikasse krahv Jean de Rochambeau juhtimisel 6000-mehelise väe maad kuulama. Peale selle kimbutas Prantsuse laevastik inglaste mereväge ning takistas Inglise laevu New yorgi linnast Virginiasse seilamast ning sealseile Briti vägedele abi ning varustust viimast. prantsuse ja Ameerika mereväed, kokku 18 000 meest, võitlesid Cornwallisega kogu suvi läbi spgiseni välja. Viimaks 19. oktoobril 1781, olles Chesapeake Bay lähistel Yorktownis lõksu aetud, andis Cornwallis oma 8000 Briti sõduriga alla. Ehkki Cornwallise kaotus ei toonud veel otsemaid kaasa sõja lõppu- see kestis vahelduva eduga veel ligi kaks aastat. 15.aprillil 1783. aastal kiitis Kongress lõpliku lepingu heaks ning Suurbritannia ja tema endised kolooniad kirjutasid sellele alla 3.septembril.Pariisi lepinguga tuntud rahukokkulepe tunnustas 13 endise koloonia iseseisvust, vabadust ja

tirivaid koeri. Osad neist olid suuremad, neid peetakse njuufade eellasteks, teised olid väiksemad ja neid kutsuti St. John'i koerteks ja tõenäoliselt aretatigi labrador just nendest. St. John'i koerad kujunesid kõige hinnatumateks jahikoerteks Inglismaa aadlikele, kelle kennelites tegeleti koerte sihipärase aretusega. 1903. aastal tunnustas Inglise kennelklubi labradori retriiveri tõu. Labradoride aretuses on kasutatud ka chesapeake bay, siledakarvalisi ja kuldseid retriivereid, et laiendada labradoride geenibaasi. Eestisse toodi esimene labradori retriiver, Brutan Angela, 1982. aastal Lätist. Tema tütar ja sokolaadivärvi poeg panid aluse labradoride edasisele aretusele Eestis. Retriiveritest on labradore Eestis kõige rohkem ja ka mujal maailmas on nad koos kuldsete retriiveritega kõige levinumad.
