Labrador Retriever

The Labrador Retriever is the most popular breed of dog not only in its originating country of Canada, but also in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is also the most popular choice for assistance dogs in a number of coun-tries. Many work as guide dogs for the blind, or as police dogs.The breed originated in Newfoundland, where they were used to work with fishermen; the dogs helped pull in nets and caught fish that escaped from fishing lines. Since then, the dogs have been crossed with Setters, Spaniels, and other retrievers, and the breed has become an ideal family dog.Labradors typically love to swim and frolic in water, and they have webbed paws. Many are athletic and energetic, and love playing catch-and-retrieve games. They are normally cheerful, get along well with children, and like other pets.There are three colors of Labradors: yellow, black, or chocolate, and they normally weigh between 55 and 75 pounds.
