Thursday Thirteen #3
Since I posted a photo of my black Labrador, Bruno for my WW (see previous post), I was inspired to post …
Thirteen Interesting Things About Labrador Retrievers:
1. All three colors of the Labrador are solid colors: black, yellow or chocolate,
2. The Labrador should be a medium-sized dog, giving the appearance of a dog that is strong, muscular and active.
3. He will possess a keen sense of smell and an athletic body.
4. The Labrador is the the most lovable, even-tempered breed ever developed.
5. If you’re looking for a guard dog, the Labrador isn’t the breed for you. They do not have the same protective instinct as a Shepherd or Rottweiler.
6. Labrador Retrievers are usually good eaters, so it;s easy for you yo put done a well-balance meal in a bowl.
7. A good Labrador will want to please and therefore, will be easy to train for obedience.
8. Labradors are active, smart and fast learners.
9. Labradors are now the number one breed used as guide dogs in the United States and other countries.
10. They love to have something to carry around, and playing fetch is usually a favorite game.
11. The Labrador’s natural coat is pretty much wash and wear.
12. Labradors are big, cuddly teddy bears by nature, and many Labradors think that they’re lap dogs, even when they reach eighty-five pounds or more.
13. If Labs could place personal ads in newspapers looking for their owners, the ad might read something like this:
NYLP (nice yellow Lab pup) seeks owner
with lots of free time who loves to hike,
swim and play!

very clever post. Labs are great dogs I agree - except they eat a lot and like to take you for a run…heehee.
My brother has a lab and my hsuband’s sister has one too. Lovely family dogs.

Labrador’s are adorable ! My best girlfriend always had Labradors and now it’s her third one. They were all about 10 years old when they died. They are so nice with children !
