Publisher's Summary
As of 2020, the Labrador Retriever breed has topped the American Kennel Club’s Popular Dog Breeds list for 19 years running, and for good reason. These athletic animals are almost universally outgoing, eager to try new things, and equipped with a strong desire to please people. This is a breed that can adapt to any situation; Labrador Retrievers have become military heroes, field trial champions, famous movie stars, and more.
This breed is a good fit for either novice or veteran pet parents, but their exuberance and athleticism may be too much for some individuals. This guide will give you all the information you need not only to decide if a Labrador Retriever is the right fit for your household, but also to guide you to the right individual dog, and how to train it to be a well-mannered canine citizen.
