The Labrador is the 4th smartest dog in the world. It was originially a Newfoundland . They were bred to a smaller version then named the labrador after the sea they worked in. ( Labrador Sea in Canada) Labs are a swimmer dog. Thats what their favorite thing to do is. They have 3 things that help them. Webbed paws, an otter like tail and a layered oily coat.
These dogs are a easy groomer but shed in fall. The most popular colour for a Labrador is black ( the most sucsesful ). Yes black , although you might have though yellow because you see yellow Labs everywhere. Yellow is the second most popular ,and the rarest of all is the beatiful chocolate coat.
Labradors have a soft mouth. This means their jaw isnt always tense. They can carry a egg in their mouth without cracking it which is amazing.
Labs are naturally healthy but do have 3 common problems. 1 is hip problems - it causes the hip to displace which causes pain. 2 is The eye - it can cause problems in the pupil which can lead to blindness. 3 is knee and elbow problem. Their life is 12 - 13 years.
Labrador Retrievers are:
A great dog anywhere
They have hip, elbow, knee and eye problems
Labs are easy to train
and finally a GREAT family pet ( but watch out for them razor sharp teeth! )
