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!
