Labrador Retrievers are known for their intelligence, gentle nature, and obedient behavior. They are also very affectionate and loyal to the family, but they can also be stubborn at times. Because of this, labradors need a lot of mental stimulation, which can be problematic for some people who want a pet for the company rather than as a working breed.
Labradors are number one in popularity due to the versatility of their skills that allow them to work in many different tasks from hunting smaller game, such as birds and rabbits, to looking after livestock like horses or cows. The versatility of the Labrador means they can also be used as agility dogs, and are quick to learn.

They are generally calm dogs, but if they do not like what they are doing, they will stop instantly to show their displeasure. While this can be frustrating for owners who want their labrador to work hard and get things done, the Labrador Retriever has been described as an “easily-managed” dog breed. This is because they know exactly where they stand in their pack structure and don’t need any leaders.
The Labrador Retriever is also very agile and can jump high and run fast. They are good swimmers and can even dive underwater to catch fish. They have a good sense of smell, but like many other breeds, they have a tendency to drool.

Labradors are known for their love of food. They will eat just about anything, and their greedy nature makes them prone to putting on weight easily. Regular exercise is a must for any Labrador owner because if they get too fat it becomes very difficult to move around. Labradors live between 10 to 12 years on average, but some can live up to 15 years old with proper care and dietary control.

Labrador Retrievers are dogs with a waterproof double coat that’s resistant to rain and snow. Their short, straight coat is weather-resistant and has a “quick-dry” property that allows their coat to dry very quickly. It also provides protection from heat, cold, and dampness. The outer coat of the Labrador is coarse and flat, while the undercoat is soft and dense. When out in cold weather, the long guard hairs of their outer coat will protect them from icy winds and keep them warm.
It’s important to regularly clean the Labrador Retriever, especially under their tail and on their feet. Regular baths are a good way to keep them looking healthy but it’s also a great way to get rid of any bedding or dirt that has collected underneath their feet. To make bath time easier, you could use a blow dryer and switch it on for a few minutes every now and then.

DogGuide was developed by volunteers and provides information about Labradors, how to learn more about them, articles about interesting facts about labrador retriever, and where you can find puppy mills and dog breeders. DogGuide attempts to show the true difference between Labs that are sold in pet stores and those that are rescued from being euthanized at shelters, animal control facilities, or rescue groups. It also demonstrates the distinction between purebred labs that are known as designer dogs versus mixed breed labs called “mongrels”.
