Labrador retrievers have been a purebred dog for over 200 years. All breeds were originally bred from different types of dogs to get the dog the people wanted. If you breed a purebred Lab with a different breed you get a mutt or hybrid.

Only purebred dogs are recognized by the AKC. Every breed of dog originally started out as a mutt to gain certain traits Those dogs were bred exclusively to only others with the same traits to create a purebred dog. Never again should the bloodline be introduced to another breed. It takes many years to create a breed. So yes, Labs are purebred.

A pure breed is one that is recongnised by various kennel clubs throughout the world. A Labrador Retreiver is considered to be a pure breed.
All pure breed dogs started out by taking various breeds and mixing them to achieve desidered traits and characteristics. In order to be considered by a kennel club the breed must be able to sustain those traits and characteristics throughout time.

Labs are a separate breed of retrievers, just like a German Shepherd is a separate breed of shepherds. A retriever is a classification of dogs, and it includes labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, and several others.
