About the Breed

The Labrador Retriever was bred to be both a friendly companion and a useful working dog breed. Historically, they earned their keep as fishermen’s helpers: hauling nets, fetching ropes, and retrieving fish from the chilly North Atlantic. They are as good-natured and hardworking as their ancestors, and they’re also America’s most popular breed.

 

Brief History of the Breed

The Labrador Retriever is the traditional waterdog of Newfoundland, long employed as a duck retriever and fisherman's mate. The breed began its steady climb to popularity in the early 1800s when Labs were spotted by English nobles visiting Canada. These sporting earls and lords returned to England with fine specimens of 'Labrador dogs.' During the latter half of the 19th century, British breeders refined and standardized the breed. 

 

Grooming:

The Lab has a thick, water-repellant double coat that sheds. Give occasional baths to keep them clean. As with all breeds, the Lab's nails should be trimmed regularly and his teeth brushed frequently.

 

Exercise:

The Labrador Retriever is an exuberant, very energetic breed that needs lots of exercise every day. The breed's favorite activities are retrieving and swimming. Many Labs also work hard in important roles such as search-and-rescue, drug, and bomb detection, and as service and assistance dogs.

 

Training:

Gently exposing the puppy to a wide variety of people, places, and situations between the ages of 7 weeks and 4 months and beginning obedience training early on will help him develop into a well-adjusted, well-mannered adult. Puppy training classes serve as part of the socialization process and help the owner learn to recognize and correct any bad habits that may be developing.
