Labrador Retriever Dog Breed Info
we all know that labs love the water and
in fact that’s how they originally came
to this country they didn’t swim across
but they did come on boats so here’s
what happens with Labradors Labradors
have this dog that we think of and we
know we’ve seen them as service dogs as
assistance dogs as guide dogs and
labrador’s are doing these most amazing
things and then we have a nine-month-old
lab that can be crazy and you wonder how
does these dogs ever get to be guide
dogs or assistance dogs and come into a
setting like a nursing home without
wreaking havoc well be patient hang in
there and be consistent they do settle
down that’s the good news but the bad
news is that they need training they do
need to be worked with Labrador
retrievers are a really popular pet and
part of the reason for that is because
we bred them to have what we call a soft
mouth so a soft mouth was bred into them
so when they went to go retrieve the
foul with their hunters that they didn’t
damage the bird and how that translates
really nicely in the home environment is
that when they grab toys and treats they
very gingerly use their teeth so great
dog for for kids and for elderly people
that’s why they’re really one of the
most popular breeds because they are
just that friendly and we’re bred to be
that brilliant with their mouths I love
labs because they always want to have a
good time they’re really energetic they
love playing just get ready for a ball
of energy no matter how long you’ve been
gone she’ll just jump all over you and
she’s so excited they just are always so
happy and friendly with anyone that they
need labrador retrievers are meant to be
fun dogs they’re energetic and they seem
to never grow up they’re always puppies
and that’s certainly in their favor
because they’re also prone to arthritis
we all hear about hip dysplasia and
large breed dogs and unfortunately as
they age that turns into degenerative
joint disease so if you’re going to have
a Labrador Retriever I would recommend
that you think about getting them
exercising their entire life allowing
them to swim that’s excellent for other
joints and think about a joint
supplement
the glucosamine type products that’s
perfect for preventing the development
of arthritis and Labrador Retrievers
