Questions & Answers
Labrador Retrievers are a unique breed of dog known for their intelligence, friendly nature, and instinctive ability to please their owners. They are the most popular breed of dog in the United States, making them a popular choice for families. Labs require a moderate amount of exercise, making it important for owners to ensure that these active dogs are given plenty of opportunity to run and play.
No, Labrador Retrievers are not hypoallergenic dogs. Hypoallergenic dogs are ones that are less likely to cause an allergic reaction in people who are sensitive to canine allergens. This is due to their genetic make-up and inherently low levels of dander, saliva, and fur that they produce, which can cause allergic reactions. As Labrador Retrievers do not have low levels of dander, saliva, and fur, they are not considered hypoallergenic dogs and may cause an allergic reaction in certain people.
Labrador Retrievers typically have hearty appetites, however due to their active lifestyle and growing bodies, they do have special dietary needs. Owners should feed their Labrador Retrievers food that is specifically designed for them, with a specific nutrient profile tailored to their age, size, and activity levels. Additionally, if the Labrador Retriever has any allergies or sensitivities, their dietary needs will vary. Generally speaking, it is important to feed your Labrador the proper amount of high-quality proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and other essential vitamins and minerals necessary for good health.
To become the best puppy parent possible while waiting for your Labrador Retriever, getting educated on Labrador Retrievers and their specific needs is a great place to start. Begin reading about appropriate food and nutrition, puppy-proofing your home, and the different health issues that can occur with the breed. Get to know the brands that specialize in Lab needs and what toys may best serve them. When your puppy has arrived, staying up to date on their vaccinations and regular visits to the vet will be essential to their long-term wellbeing.
Labrador Retrievers are large breeds of dogs, usually ranging from 55 to 79 pounds. Depending on the type, Labradors may come at various sizes, from the smaller-size Labrador Retrievers that stand up to 21.5 inches in height, to the larger-size that can reach 24.5 inches. While shorter Labradors have wider chests and more massive bodies, taller dogs have longer heads and thinner builds.
Labrador Retrievers are incredibly active dogs that require a high level of physical activity to remain feeling healthy and happy. Generally, these dogs need at least 2 hours of exercise per day which can include activities such as walking, playing fetch, swimming, or even agility exercises. You may also need to dedicate additional time for activities such as brushing, bathing, or training as these all help with maintaining a Labrador Retriever’s mental health.
Labrador Retrievers are highly regarded as great family dogs due to their friendly, outgoing and affectionate nature. They are gentle, patient, and kind and make excellent companions for children of all ages and are known for their intelligence and eagerness to please. Labradors always have time for a game of fetch or tag and will even join in with the family for a cuddle session! They love to be part of the family and thrive on spending quality time with their human family.
Labrador Retrievers are very loyal and intelligent breeds who thrive on structure and repetition, so training is essential in creating a positive relationship with them. The key to successful training is to have patience, consistency and rewards-based positive reinforcement. Begin basic training sessions starting with commands like 'sit', 'stay', and 'come' during the puppy stage. Gradually add more complex commands as they grow. Giving your Labrador consistent rules will help them learn faster and ensure that good behavior continues over time.
