Re: "Standard" peeves...

Too Much
How about 'too much' front? I have seen some dogs who look like they are going to tip forward there is so much chest.
I would call that a prodigious front and complete lack of balance. It's another peeve of mine, I see many unbalanced dogs put up, the judge acting as it they didn't notice too much on one end or the other.

Many times those large fronts are plain fat! It's difficult to if at all able to find the prosternum beneath the extra fat tissue. The same goes for no front but a great or overdone rear. All Labs should be balanced, to some degree at the very least. JMO.
