Labrador Retrievers - The Most Popular Dog in America, Year After Year
With a Labrador Retriever, you can never go wrong. As it turns out, Labrador Retrievers are the perfect mix of positive qualities anyone would expect from a pet. Their gentle and outgoing nature comes hand in hand with an eagerness to please their masters. They love being around people and take pleasure in garnering attention. Dogs of this breed are also incredibly alert and intelligent which makes them exceptionally easy to train. With a simple training method backed by positive reinforcement, Labrador Retrievers can easily be taught to obey various commands.
Since Labrador Retrievers display a calm and patient demeanor, they make great family dogs. It is not in their nature to snap or act aggressive which is why they would be especially great for families with little children. And as their name dictates, these dogs are excellent retrievers and have fun doing so. Historically speaking, Labrador Retrievers were trained to live and work on fishing boats. One of their tasks included jumping overboard whenever the fishermen would drop their net lines or if it got tangled up in something. As these dogs would retrieve the net lines, they would bring them back to their masters on the boat. In doing so, they saved fishermen time and money - not to mention ensuring their safety. Not only this, Labrador Retrievers were also relied upon to accompany hunters in their journeys. It is to no surprise that these dogs got their names from the Portuguese word "Labrador," meaning laborer.
However, even with all these pleasing qualities, pet owners must keep in mind that just as is the case with other dog breeds, Labrador Retrievers are not for everyone. Labrador Retrievers can give a lot of attention to their masters but they require a lot of attention as well. They have a very pleasing demeanor but they have a lot of pent up energy that needs to be released through physical exercise as well. At times, these dogs can be quite dependent as well since they dislike being left alone.
Another thing to take into consideration here is that Labrador Retrievers may not match everyone's needs as well. If you are looking for a guard dog, Labrador Retrievers are not the way to go. These dogs are incredibly alert and will draw attention to abnormalities by barking but 99% of the time, these dogs are more inclined to play with others rather than act as a guardian.
Labrador Retrievers are indeed the most popular dogs in America. The American Kennel Club attests to this. Even so, never treat these tidbits of information as the be all and end all of the matter. The decision is still up to you. Just make sure to carefully consider the various aspects involved in making such a big decision. Determine whether you have the time to cater to its demands and ensure that this is the type of dog that would best fit your lifestyle.
