The Labrador is one of several kinds of retriever, a type of gun dog also called Labrador Retriever, Labby, or Lab for short. The term â??Retrieverâ? refers to any one of several breeds of Sporting Dogs. Retrievers were bred primarily to retrieve birds or other prey and return them to the hunter without any damage. The American Kennel Club lists the following breeds of retrievers: Chesapeake Bay, Golden, Curly-coated, Flat-coated, and Labrador retriever. Labrador Retrieversâ?? willingness to please and trainability made them the most popular breed among all assistant dogs in the world. They are natural hunters and are equipped with an exceptional sense of smell. Because of their great â??noseâ?, they also work in narcotics as a drug sniffing dogs, search and rescue dogs, as guide dogs for the blind, and as a service dog for the disabled.

Labradors are relatively large, with males typically weighing 30â??36 kg (65â??80 lb) and females 25â??32 kg (55â??70 lb). Labradors come in two varieties; the English “show” line and the American “field” line. The English bred (show-bred) labs are heavier, thicker and blockier. The American bred (field and trial-bred) Labs are longer legged, lighter, and more lithe in build.

The Labrador Puppies Retriever is a double coat breed. The color of the coat comes in chocolate, black, and yellow. Their short and smooth double coat is easy to groom with a brush with firm bristles. Their interwoven coat is also relatively waterproof, even when they swim their skin stays dry due to their water-resistant undercoat. They are also moderate shredders of hair.

Labradors are happy in the great outdoors and are tremendous swimmers. The otter-like tail and webbed toes of the Labrador Retriever make them excellent swimmers. Labs are big eaters and need regular exercise and moderate rations to avoid a tendency to become overweight.

Labradors are a devoted breed that can be a wonderful asset to a family but having a Labrador puppy is a huge responsibility. It requires energy to keep up with the pup, as well as the patience to work with him as Labrador puppies are very energetic and want to explore everything in their surroundings. Their excitement about everything often causes them to do certain activities that can annoy you but this can be corrected through proper training and supervision. You must teach him what to put in his mouth and what not because they eat digestible and non-food objects alike and are prone to chewing objects. Your furniture and belongings may suffer if not trained properly at an early stage. Furthermore, their strong build can make them hard to control later in adulthood.

Labradors are often very easygoing and trusting with strangers, and therefore are not usually suitable as guard dogs. However these are one of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, friendly and lovable temperament. They are exceptionally affable, intelligent, energetic and good natured and is the perfect to an active family. Labs have a high intelligence and willingness to work hard to please their owners. This is why they are widely used by police and other official bodies too.
