Labrador Retriever

Labrador Retrievers have held the title of America's most popular dog breed for decades, and their friendly, outgoing nature makes it easy to see why. Labs are versatile dogs that excel as family pets, service animals, therapy dogs, and working dogs in fields ranging from search and rescue to drug detection. Labs are known for their boundless energy and love of water. They are highly food-motivated, which makes training relatively easy but also means owners need to watch their weight carefully. Their short, dense coat is easy to maintain but sheds year-round.
