That depends entirely on what you want the dog for.

  • Labradors are well suited to be trained as hunting dogs - especially as retrievers (hence their name as Labrador RETRIEVERS) although they are also often used for flushing game and even sometimes as "pointing" dogs (to find game and show the hunter where it is by "pointing")
  • Labradors are also often used as assistance dogs for blind and autistic people.
  • Labradors have a good sense of smell and can be used for tracking and detection
  • Labradors have a reputation as a very even-tempered breed and an excellent family dog
  • They are more prone to obesity than other dogs and like many pure-bred dogs are somewhat at risk for several genetic related problems such as hip and elbow problems
  • They are not small dogs so, if not properly trained, they can be a problem when misbehaving based on their size - biting, destroying property, aggression, etc. Properly trained they are usually pretty even tempered and not aggressive.

Labradors are good pets because they have a generally mild temperament. They are easy to take care of. They are very good with small children and other dogs. Labradors aim to please, are food motivated, and are smart animals, making them very easy to train. Its also a good use of your child's time to try to teach a Labrador tricks, the lab will enjot it as well as the child.

Yes, Labs are great pets! They are very loyal and fun loving. However, they tend to be crazy and this is a cause of concern in their later years.

I have a black lab and its sensational.

A dog certainly is a mans best friend!

Yes! They are typically friendly, calm and very trainable. That is why they are now the most common service dog for blind people.

Well... on land it depends on the genes. But Labs are always strong when swimming. A strong otter - like tail helps them swim. So does their webbed paws.
