Questions & Answers
Labrador Retrievers are one of the most popular breeds of dog in the U.S. and around the world, and for good reason! They are loyal, friendly, intelligent, and active. Labrador Retrievers were first bred in Newfoundland, Canada by fishermen to help them haul nets. They were originally called the St. John’s Dog. Labs are known for the iconic “otter tail” which is denser at the base and tapers off towards the top, usually curving over the back. They have remarkable swimming skills.
Labrador Retrievers are not hypoallergenic, though they do have a short, dense coat. Because Labrador Retrievers have an undercoat, they shed and produce allergens, and are not recommended for people who suffer from allergies. Though they are not hypoallergenic, they are easily groomed and have a low risk of any odor. Their coats only require occasional brushing and the occasional trip to the groomers for a bath or professional grooming.
Yes, Labrador Retrievers do have special dietary needs due to their active lifestyle. For example, it's important for Labradors to get an adequate amount of protein for energy and healthy bones and muscles, as well as high-quality fats for a strong immune system and good skin and coat condition. In addition, because of their short muzzle, Labradors may also benefit from smaller-sized kibbles to aid in digestion. Furthermore, because of their love of the water, it's important that the food provide plenty of moisture to help keep them hydrated.
Preparation is key for being the best puppy parent for a Labrador Retriever. Begin by doing research about the breed, gathering all the essential items you'll need and shopping for the supplies. Make sure you have the essentials; food, water, bowls, crate, bedding, toys. Be sure to gather the necessary medical supplies like a flea/tick preventative, crate, toys and grooming tools. Create a daily routine with your puppy and make sure that their food and potty breaks are consistent, so they know what to expect and when.
Labrador Retrievers come in three different sizes: Standard (21.5-24.5 inches and 55-80 pounds), Medium (18.5-21.5 inches and 35-50 pounds), and Mini (13.5-16.5 inches and 15-25 pounds). The qualities of a Labrador Retriever, such as their intelligence, good looks and willingness to please, remain the same regardless of the size variation. Mini Labradors makeup a small percentage of the breed's population, while standard and medium Labradors are the most popular.
Generally speaking, the amount of walking a Labrador Retriever needs each day depends on the individual dog's life stage and activity level. Puppies, young and senior dogs need shorter walks that are lower in intensity each day, while adult Labradors may be able to handle up to an hour or two of moderate daily exercise. To keep your Labrador Retriever healthy and fit bring them on at least one walk a day of 25-30 minutes, or two shorter walks if that fits into your schedule.
Labrador Retrievers are a great choice as family dogs due to their friendly, outgoing personalities and affectionate nature. They tend to bond with their owners and get along with children. Labs are also relatively easy to train and eager to please, making them an ideal companion for those with children. Labs are loyal, naturally energetic, and athletic, so they thrive on outdoor activities and need plenty of exercise. On top of this, they are quite intelligent, so they won't be unable to keep up with your family's active lifestyle.
Training your Labrador Retriever begins with socializing them from an early age. Make sure to introduce your pup to different environments, surfaces, places, and people to ensure they know how to act in all kinds of scenarios. When it comes to basic obedience, reward your pup for desired behaviors with positive reinforcement and treats. Speak clearly, use hand signals, and practice the same commands in a consistent manner. Seek out professional help if needed. Regularly practice commands and reinforce them at home to help your pup develop good habits.
