the ancestor of this breed was the St.John's Dog, a precursor of the Newfoundland. Brought to the UK by fishermen, it was the start of Curly-coated, Flat-coated(my favourite breed) and Labrador Retrievers.
Did you mean: What dog was a Labrador bred down from? Labradors were bred down from Lesser St. John's Dog, an extinct breed of dog that originated in Canada.
Nope. The labrador Retreiver was bred in Labrador Newfoundland, Before Newfoundland became a Canadian province.
The labrador retriever was first bred in Labrador (Newfoundland, Canada) some time around the end of the 16th century.
So they can swim.
Yes it can, it would just be a mixed breed.
Labradoodles are cross bred from Labrador Retrievers and Poodles.
Labrador Retrievers originated on the Canadian island of Newfoundland.
Yes, the Labrador Retriever originated in Newfoundland, but since there was already a Newfoundland named dog, it was named after the sea Labrador. The dog was named this by the sea in which the men who bred the dog worked in.
This depends on the amount of Labrador in the lab mix. I am assuming the mix is 50% Labrador. Then their puppies would be 75% Labrador.
Yes they were bred to be, that's why they are called the Labrador Retriever it's in their instinct.
Labrador Retrievers were created when Newfoundland's were bred with water dogs. Eventually, that breed was mated with retrievers, creating the Labrador Retrievers that are seen today.
