Labrador Retrievers are a high spirited, very intelligent,
happy-go-lucky and loyal dog breed that is very well suited
for families. They have a friendly temperament and are
adaptable to different environments which makes them easy
to care for and safe for children to be around. Labradors
will work hard to please their pack leader humans. They are
very observant and good-humored and enjoy abundant
affection.
Labradors are highly intelligent which is why they excel as
show dogs and at dog sporting events. They are very happy
outdoors and love to swim and play fetch games around
water. This is because this breed is an instinctive hunter
both on land and in water. The Labrador Retriever is
trained and bred by sportsmen and breeders to work in the
field for the purpose of retrieving game.
A superior Labrador should be gifted with instinct to
retrieve and strong, athletic and muscular body for
endurance. Labrador Retrievers often times must be able to
work in difficult terrain, swim in cold turbulent waters
such as rivers, streams or tidal areas and be able carry
downed birds for long distances. The Labrador should have a
sturdy, compact body that is designed specifically for this
purpose. Labradors also have a keen sense of smell. The
characteristics of a Labrador Retriever makes them an ideal
dog breed for hunting, police dogs, military dogs, rescue
dogs and seeing eye dogs.
Even though Labradors are a wonderful breed, you should
carefully consider whether or not they are suited for your
family, your needs and your lifestyle.
Labradors need a lot of outdoor room to be happy. They
require vigorous daily exercise to burn energy and
stimulate their mind. There are also some characteristics
about labs that simply do not compliment the needs of some
dog owners.
For instance, while labrador retrievers are highly
intelligent and very eager to learn, training a lab takes
expertise, patience and time. They don't come from the
litter programmed to understand or respond to your
commands. Also, they are strong and even the medium size
can make them hard to control and manage if they are not
properly trained and socialized early on.
Labradors are an outstanding dog breed that will make an
excellent family pet if properly trained and socialized.
If you give them the proper environment, training, love and
affection and you will be rewarded with a well mannered pet
and a loyal companion.
