The Labrador Retriever (or Lab for short) is a breed of dog.

Labrador Retrievers are very gentle dogs with family friendly personalities. They enjoy attention and exercise with their owner. This dog is great with kids. They love to run around in big open spaces, have a natural love of bringing things back, and learn to retrieve easily. They like the water no matter the temperature outside as their coat protects them. They are strong swimmers as they have webbing between the toes on their paws. They come in three colors: black, yellow, and chocolate or brown.


This stoic, hardy breed of retriever is a great choice as a family pet. They are playful, easy to train, and naturally obedient. Labrador Retrievers do require liberal amounts of daily exercise and are prone to obesity. As a pet, they can be a bit demanding of attention and do best in a home where they can have a daily workout. They like water and have a distinct otter-like tail, which they use like a rudder when they swim.
