Labrador Retriever Review
[Music]
hi everybody welcome to breed review I’m
Leah Murphy and today we’re going to be
reviewing the Labrador Retriever
so the Labrador Retriever originates
from Canada and much like the Canadians
they’re very polite sometimes too polite
and very Hardy breed originally the dog
which used to retrieve fishing equipment
and also for hunting such as dots and
birds this still used a lot today for
those reasons not so much for the
fishing but much more for duck hunting
they’re a great working dog in by far
the most popular companion dog in
America they come in four different
varieties they can come in yellow like
Kingsley here they can come in black
chocolate silver in white there is no
real difference between a chocolate lab
in a yellow app I’ve heard people say
that Oh yellow labs are crazy and it’s
not true they’re either there a Labrador
not they’re all the same so a lot of
people will see a dog like Kingsley and
say I like his big blocky head I like
his temperament and they go out and they
just buy the first lab that they see in
the newspapers there’s a lot more to it
than that guys they can come in many
different varieties they don’t all look
the same some are tall slender some have
a longer snout some have a smaller head
some have a bigger head it all depends
on the breeder you want to do a heavy
amount of research with the breeders to
make sure that you’re getting what you
want okay now it’s time for the lab
review all right and I give it a rating
system now these are all my opinions I
love all dogs some will have higher
scores some will have lower scores and
it’s all my preference and I’m just
telling you what in my experience
working with these dogs what you guys
can expect – first off and very
important is temperament labs have a
very very sweet temperament they’re
great with kids great with other dogs
and they’re great with people overall
just a super friendly dog they can be
very vocal they can bark a lot I’d say
that’s the only downside other than that
they’re really super sweet and and just
a great family dog and companion dog
temperament 5 out of 5 stars I’m a –
activity level they’re a very active dog
they were bred to work so they have a
lot of energy east dogs do best
in a house
who have active owned if you like to
hike if you like to bike if you like to
run Wow active person who likes to be
out there and get after it this is a
great companion for you they need a lot
of exercise
these dogs are excellent swimmers they
have an oily coat that helps shed the
water off of them when they swim they’re
excellent swimmers they can swim all day
they love it they can even swim in cold
water
I wouldn’t take them out in the arctic
cold but you know in the dead of winter
they these guys love love love to swim
you can’t keep them out of the water and
if you’re in swimming this is a great
dog to have in the summer time take them
down to a pond and go swimming it’s
fantastic
they’re their hardy breed so they do
well in almost all weather conditions I
would advise to use caution in the
extreme heat like every dog and also an
extreme cold other than those two they
do really well in just about anything
number three trainability I find these
dogs to be very smart they can pick up
on things really quickly I always
recommend to people who do get a lab
puppy immediately start them on a
retrieving game because it comes very
naturally to them it’s a really quick
way to teach your dog how to be off
leash to come to you utilize that use
their natural ability to retrieve to
learn how to be off fleet they’re not
gonna solve any Rubik’s cubes but they
anything that you’ll need in everyday
life sit stay calm and they pick up
pretty quickly and they do a good job
and they’re willing to please so I’d
give them a 4 out of 5 stars for
training health very healthy dog they
don’t they’re not known for a ton of
things you main one is gonna be hip
dysplasia with any animal you have a
risk event some sort of health issues
however with the lab there’s not a ton
they live a long time you definitely get
10 plus years out of these guys if you
exercise right feed them right there’s
no reason why this dog can’t live a long
healthy happy life 5 out of 5 stars for
health so in closing Labrador Retriever
great dog love them so much fun I’m
giving the score of four point nine out
of an overall score of five stars for
the Labrador Retriever might be the
highest score I give all year for all
dogs but just a really good family
companion great with kids great with
other dogs very loving just a great
overall dog and there’s a reason why
they’re the most popular so for four
point nine out of five stars for these
guys right out of the gates that can be
the highest score I give all year but
they really are super
sweet fun dog to own not a bad bone in
their bodies again do your research make
sure you go into a good reputable
breeder that’s so important if you want
to have all the good qualities make sure
you are researching the breeder and you
know what you get yourself into if you
do it right you’ll have a great dog for
a long time thanks again for watching
you guys on the next episode we’re going
to be reviewing the German Shepherd
buckle up it’ll be a good one thanks
again guys
