It's not hard to understand why the Labrador is one of the most popular breed of dogs around. With their friendly, energetic nature they make a perfect family pets.
Originating off the coast in Canada, the Labrador's were taken over to England to be used as hunting dogs. With their excellent talent to retrieve, they would jump off the boats into the cold waters to retrieve what was thrown for them.
These days they are used in many working fields including guide dog training and sniffer dogs.
Their intelligence can cause some issues, though they are very smart and learn quickly if left to their own devices can get bored extremley quickly. This can lead to distructive behaviour , so they do need to be in a highly stimulated environment with plenty to keep them busy.
Labrador's are great not only with humans but other dogs as well, they are extremley social and love the attention. They generally aren't too fussy with their food, more commonly known for eating everything in sight. With this, they do require regular exercise and do have a lot of energy to burn. They can gain weight quite easily and as they are prone to hip dysplasia this then causes problems for their joints as they age.
