Questions & Answers
Labrador Retrievers are an iconic dog breed known for their intelligence, loyalty, and enthusiasm. They are outgoing, friendly dogs and make great family pets. They are also incredibly adaptable and tend to enjoy any activity, provided they have the right owner and environment. Labrador Retrievers require regular exercise in order to stay healthy and happy, and they respond well to obedience training. As they are prone to drooling and shedding, they should be brushed and bathed regularly. Labs typically live between 10 and 12 years and enjoy daily interaction with their owners.
Labrador Retrievers are not considered hypoallergenic, as their coats are just as thick and furry as other dog breeds. While all dogs do produce some dander and saliva, the amount that the Labrador Retriever does produces is no more or less than any other breed and therefore should not pose any greater allergenic risk than other dogs. Additionally, the shedding that this breed often experiences can also be a potential allergen irritant.
Labrador Retrievers are generally omnivorous, requiring a balanced diet of protein, carbohydrates, fiber and fat. The best way to provide your Labrador Retriever with the necessary nutrition is to feed them a high-quality premium dry food specifically designed for dogs of their age and size. Dry food is easy to digest and provides a full spectrum of essential nutrition, including specific proteins and fats. Be sure to read the ingredient list carefully and choose a product that is free of artificial colors, flavors and preservatives.
Becoming the best puppy parent while waiting for your Labrador Retriever involves investing time and effort into learning about the breed, its behavior and needs, as well as how best to meet those needs. Start by doing some research on the breed to learn about their diet, exercise, grooming and socialization needs. Read articles, watch videos and consult an expert in canine care.
Labrador Retrievers typically grow to be between 21 and 24 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh anywhere between 55-80 pounds for males and 55-70 pounds for females. However, depending on the quality of food that is fed and the type of exercise the individual dog receives, larger and heavier labs can develop. Generally, adult labradors should weigh no more than 25% more than their optimal weight in order to maintain good health. Not all labs will be the same size nutrition and genetics play a key role in how big a dog becomes.
Labrador Retrievers are very active dogs that need plenty of exercise and room to run. They can easily spend up to 2 or more hours a day in physical activities such as running, walking, playing, or swimming. Depending on the age, size, and breed of the lab, you should ensure they have at least 40 to 60 minutes of exercise and activity a day. Large breed Labs need more exercise than smaller breed Labs. Exercise for Labradors should also include time for mental activities since they are smart dogs and can get bored.
Labrador Retrievers are a great choice for families as they are low maintenance, loyal, and loving companions. They are loyal and devoted to their families, so your Lab will be a dearly beloved part of the family. Labs have delightful, gentle dispositions which often make them great with kids, including those who may not be considerate of the dog. These canines are also easy to train, eagerand generally obedient and cooperative.
Training a Labrador Retriever requires patience, consistency and positive reinforcement. The first step is to establish a trustful relationship with the Labrador. Positive reinforcement is essential; reward the dog with treats and affection when it completes a task correctly. Additionally, use consistent leadership and a clear, firm voice when giving commands, as Labradors respond best to this. Teach basic commands, like ‘sit’, ‘stay’ and ‘come’. Also teach the dog not to jump, bark, or bite.
