Labrador Retriever Dog Breed Facts & Information

 


Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in the world. Labrador Retrievers makes great family pets because they are very affectionate and loyal. They can be very lovable and loving and even easy to train and discipline if you take the time to train them correctly. As with all dogs, though, they have their own set of breed-specific quirks, behaviors, and personality traits that need to be considered before choosing a puppy or purchasing a whole litter of puppies.

There are five major characteristics of Labrador Retriever dogs that breeders should consider when selecting dogs for sale. These are size, personality, activity level, shedding, and grooming. The size of a Labrador Retriever is one of the first things a prospective owner needs to know. Large dogs will require more exercise, frequent training, and monitoring, and more time outside of the home. Small dogs, on the other hand, will be easier to house train, more gentle with the cat, and require less daily exercise and monitoring.

The personality of the dog is also an important consideration. Active and curious dogs that like to bark, climb, and play should be enrolled in agility competitions, obedience classes, and general walks. Labs are very athletic, but they do need some instruction in basic obedience techniques to prevent them from getting out of control and becoming a danger to themselves and others. Larger dogs are better suited to working dogs and hunting or sporting dogs.

Shedding is another important aspect of the Labrador Retriever care. Dogs of all sizes will shed, but as the Labrador grows it is important to monitor and regulate shedding levels to prevent excessive amounts of hair to build up. A lab that sheds too much is often unhealthy, and has an increased risk for skin infections, flea infestations, and even worms. Be sure to monitor the activity level of your Labrador Retriever on a regular basis to determine if it needs additional exercise or needs to have a bath.

Labrador Retrievers are very intelligent animals and make good companions for the right person. They are loyal and will stick by their owner 100% of the time. They are excellent in the house but can become destructive when left to roam free in the yard. They are also sensitive to shock, so it is important to be aware of their sensitivity to pain and sudden movement. Many Labrador Retrievers is prone to hip dysplasia, which causes them to overheat more easily than other dogs of similar size.
