Questions & Answers
Labrador Retrievers are among the most popular dog breeds in the US. They have been prized for their friendly temperament, intelligence and energy since they were first bred in Newfoundland in the early 1800s. Fun facts about this breed include that they are the only breed of dog allowed to compete in the Olympic sport of dock diving and some have actually been trained to navigate underwater minefields.
Labrador Retrievers are not considered hypoallergenic. Be aware that any breed of dog can cause an allergic reaction in people who are sensitive and all dogs produce some degree of dander. However, it is true that some breeds are more likely to cause allergies than others. Labrador Retrievers tend to have an above average amount of dander and/or pet hair, and therefore may not be the best choice for those who are sensitive to pet allergies.
Labrador Retrievers are energetic and outgoing dogs that require a healthy and balanced diet to support their activity level. A healthy diet for a Labrador Retriever should include a combination of fresh and premium quality dry food. Suitable fresh food options for Labrador Retrievers include lean proteins such as white fish, chicken, beef, eggs and tofu; fibrous carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes, brown rice and barley; plus healthy fats such as olive and flaxseed oils. Supplementing their meals with a daily portion of fresh fruit and vegetables is also recommended.
To properly prepare your home for a new Labrador Retriever, there are several things to consider. Firstly, do your research on how to care for a Labrador Retriever so you are aware of their required diet, exercise, and healthcare needs. Secondly, you will need to create a safe space in the home with either a puppy-proofed room or a crate. Make sure there are no potential hazards, such as access to small objects that can be ingested or sharp edges that can cause injury.
Labrador Retrievers can get quite large, depending on the sex and the purpose they are bred for. Male Labradors can reach 23 to 24 inches in height and weigh between 65 to 80 lbs, while female Labradors can reach 21.5 to 22.5 inches in height and weigh between 55 to 70 lbs. It is important to remember that diet and exercise are an important factor in the size of a Labrador Retriever and both need to be taken into consideration.
The amount of time needed to walk a Labrador Retriever per day depends on both their age and activity level. Generally, a minimum of 30 minutes a day is recommended for adult Labradors to ensure they receive the necessary exercise to stay healthy. However, puppies can require up to an hour or more of exercise each day as they mature, so it is important to adjust your daily walking routine accordingly. Additionally, stimulating activities such as open field running and fetching are also important for developing and maintaining your pup's muscle and joint health.
Absolutely! Labrador Retrievers are incredibly popular family dogs for many reasons. They have extremely friendly and loving personalities, making them patient and loving with people of all ages. Labrador Retrievers tend to be a highly intelligent breed, making them responsive to training, which can make it easier for owners to teach them good canine manners. They also have high levels of energy, so without proper exercise and playtime, Labradors can become destructive. But with proper care and attention, Labrador Retrievers can make wonderful, loyal family companions.
Labrador Retrievers are certainly considered intelligent; they are one of the most popular breeds in the world and have exceled in a variety of task-based roles such as guide dogs, therapy dogs and search and rescue dogs. Labs are frequently used as sniffer dogs by law enforcement and border control due to their intelligence, obedience and eagerness to please. Furthermore, Labradors rate highly on the Wolfram obedience rankings, scoring high in areas such as problem solving and sensitivity.
