Loving and caring, the Labrador Retriever is one of
America’s favorite breeds and makes a wonderful family pet. This noble and loyal breed is very trainable and
loves to please his owners. They were originally used to help fisherman in
Canada haul in their nets. So not surprisingly, this breed is an excellent
swimmer.
Their coat is short and water resistant, wetting of the coat while
bathing my take a few extra minutes. Regardless, grooming is considered
minimal. Baths should be given as needed and no clipping of the coat is required. Regular
brushing will help reduce unwanted fur around the house.
Young Labrador Retrievers need exercise, at least 90 minutes a day. It is recommended that the Lab have a
fenced yard (or similar arrangement, such as an outdoor run or
overhead tether) or an owner who is willing to take the dog for long
walks every day.
Their average life
span is 10 to 12 years.
Labradors can be three different coat colors; yellow,
brown, and black. If we do not have your
desired color available now, get checking our website. For more information on
the breed visit the AKC website.
