The Labrador Retriever is
a strongly built, very active dog. They are wide over the loins with strong
and muscular hindquarters. They have smooth, thick fur all over which can be
yellow, black or chocolate colored. Black used to be the favorite among fanciers,
but now yellow has taken on this role. Labs have medium length drop ears and
a brown or black nose. Labrador Retrievers are easy to train and are good with
children and other dogs. The Labrador Retriever is good natured, loyal and hardworking.
Labrador Retrievers are employed as guide dogs and sniffer dogs, detecting drugs
and explosives. They are very intelligent animals, able to pick things up quickly.
The Labrador Retriever should never be aggressive, they are good tempered and
very agile and make a devoted companion who has a strong will to please. Enthusiastic
tail-waggers, the Labrador Retriever is a dog who enjoys simply being around
their human companions.
