Labrador Retriever

Other dogs wish they had the versatility of a Labrador Retriever. The Lab’s beauty is undeniable with their luscious coat in  yellow, black, and chocolate brown and beaming dark eyes. Don't be mistaken though, Labs are not just a pretty face! They are working dogs made for the water with their webbed toes and strong tail. Labs can be everything from prestige show dogs to retriever-gun dogs. Their obedient nature and curiosity for the world makes them quick learners. They boast sharp intelligence, athletic ability and good temperament. Though bred to be hunting and sporting dogs, these qualities also make them highly sociable. Labs love having a job and they are often trained as search and rescue dogs, guide dogs, assistant dogs, and therapy dogs. After a long day of work or retrieving in the water, there is nothing a Lab loves more than coming home to snuggles. Despite being five times the size of a lap dog, nothing stops them from being the big or little spoon. This sweet-faced companion has enough love to go around for a very large and busy family. They’re great for kids of all ages. Labs are best suited to homes where they can get plenty of activity to keep mentally and physically fit. Rigorous hunting, long walks, swimming in the lake, playful wrestling—your Lab will go on every and any adventure with you. Labs love exercise and need lots of it. The energy of a Lab is contagious, leaving you feeling cheerful and happy.
