The Labrador Retriever is a medium to large sized breed of dog that is known for its intelligence, friendly personality, and versatility. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada, Labradors were originally used as working dogs on fishing boats, but they quickly became popular as family pets and working dogs in other capacities due to their trainability, adaptability, and friendly nature.

Labradors are known for their athletic build and energetic personality, and they need regular exercise and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. They are intelligent and easily trained, making them popular choices for service, therapy, and assistance work, as well as search and rescue, hunting, and other sporting activities.

Labradors are generally good with children and other pets, and they are known for their friendly, outgoing personalities. They are generally easy to groom, with a short, water-resistant coat that requires regular brushing to prevent matting. They are also known to shed, especially during shedding season.

Labradors are generally healthy and long-lived, with a lifespan of 10-12 years. They can be prone to certain health issues such as hip dysplasia, obesity, and certain eye conditions, so it’s important to work with a reputable breeder and keep up with regular vet check-ups. With proper care and training, the Labrador Retriever can make a loving and loyal companion for the right family.

Labrador Retrievers are recognized by major kennel clubs, including the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC).
