America's sweetheart, the Labrador Retriever is the most popular breed in the USA. He descends from dogs brought to Newfoundland with explorers and settlers. Introduced to Britain in the 1800s, the Lab is now the most popular breed in that country too. Originally kept and bred for their retrieving ability, Labradors will retrieve fur, feather, and scale, and many other objects.  

They have worked with gamekeepers on estates in England, as guide dogs, and for law enforcement agencies in many countries. They are used to detect explosives, illegal game, and drugs.

The Labrador Retriever stands up to 24 1/2 inches at the shoulder, and has a short, dense coat in black, yellow, or chocolate. This is a strongly built, active dog who is easily cared for.

This dog is affectionate, loyal, and good natured. An excellent family pet, the Labrador is great with children and easy to train. Friendly and intelligent, this breed should never be aggressive. However, as a devoted family member, the Labrador is not happy when left alone for long periods or if kept confined. He needs daily contact with his people.

The Lab is extremely active and has a high energy level. He needs lots of exercise and is particularly fond of water. A Lab will retrieve sticks from the water as long as you're prepared to stand there and throw them in!
