**Problem Statement:**

Locate and classify the local extremum of the function 

\[ f(x, y) = x^2 + y^2 - 8x - 2y + 6. \]

**Analysis:**

To find the local extrema of the given function, we need to follow these steps:

1. **Find the Critical Points:**
   - Compute the partial derivatives of \( f(x, y) \) with respect to \( x \) and \( y \).
   - Set these partial derivatives to zero to find the critical points.

2. **Classify the Critical Points:**
   - Use the second derivative test for functions of two variables to classify each critical point.
   - Compute the second partial derivatives.
   - Calculate the determinant of the Hessian matrix.
   - Use the determinant to determine whether each critical point corresponds to a local minimum, local maximum, or saddle point.  
  
These are the steps involved in locating and classifying the local extrema of the given function of two variables.
