Dog Breeds - Labrador Retriever

Today I am going to write about the most popular dog breed.


As you can see from the previews post, the most popular breed is the Labrador retriever. How cute is that dog ?

These dogs have very good detection and working skills, therefore they are often used by police or other parties. They are very polite, friendly, energetic, and intelligent dogs. This is why this breed is so popular. The Labrador Retriever is considered large, muscular, and athletic. He or she can function as a retrieving gun dog. They have floppy ears, a medium length muzzle, and long legs. The basic colors that they can have are chocolate, black, and yellow. But you can also find a variety of hues between these colors.

Their coat is very short and it is water-repellent, excellent for swimming or rain. It also means that the dog doesn’t get cold when swimming in winter.

Labrador Retrievers don’t tend to be aggressive, territorial, or pining, destructive, or insecure. Therefore they are most likely when you want to introduce them new persons. Having a Lab is good for every family member, even the children. They will not harm them intentionally, but you should consider that they are big and heavy. They could hit them unwillingly, accidentally. Because of their intelligent, they can think twice about things they do when they are trained well.

Unfortunately, this breed is not qualified to be a guard dog. The reason is very simple. They are just too friendly, and unaggressive.

Here is video I picked for you for more information:
