Labrador Retriever
The Labrador Retriever is a wonderful family dog. They are sweet, affectionate, patient, and they constantly aim to please. They are very smart, good-natured dogs, and they love to play. They get along very well with children and other dogs. They need to feel as though they are part of the family. Just ask our lab Luci who follows her Daddy all over the house.
Labradors are some of the best sniffers in the world and make great hunting companions. They love to have a job that keeps them busy. If not, they are known to chew entire trees off to a nub!!
Since not everyone is a hunter, just play fetch.
Labs are known to love the water! They are even one of the few breeds that have webbed feet. Of course, Luci, our rescued lab is terrified of the water. Go figure?! She will edge up to the side of the pool if we are in it, but stays a healthy distance away if we are not.
The Lab is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, the breed was used to haul fisherman’s nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England from Labrador.
As always, we support adoptions. There are so many pups that need homes. These are a few Texas rescue groups if you are interested in adopting one of these wonderful dogs.
This portrait is a custom of my lab, Luci.
