You should
never ignore your Lab, especially since they would never ignore
you! Once they begin to follow you with your day to day errands
they will always want to do them with you. If you are going for
a walk, sleeping, playing, working or just doing whatever it is
you do, your Lab will want to do it with you!
Labrador Retrievers require a large amount of exercise compared
to other dogs, and because of this they are not well-suited for
apartment living. This breed loves the outdoors and is an avid
swimmer. They are members of the sporting dogs, developed over
1,000 years ago. Bread for hunting, this breed instinctively loves
to retrieve, so make sure you have plenty of throw toys to accommodate
him.
Labrador Retrievers are among the finest scent detecting dogs,
and are used for a wide array of rescue work, and in the detection
of drugs and explosives. Most importantly Labs are head and tails
above the rest in assisting the disabled, especially the blind.
Labrador Retrievers can make the perfect pet, if you have the
energy for their exuberant, lovable and playful character. They
are a very intelligent breed that is easily trained and loves
to please its owners. They get along great with children and other
dogs.
Labrador Retrievers come in several different colors to choose
from, yellow, black and chocolate. They range from 55-80 pounds,
and are by no means a small dog. The males tend to grow larger
by comparison. Caring for your Lab will require plenty of grooming.
They have very coarse hair that will find its way everywhere,
something to keep in mind for the exceptionally house-proud.
If you have not already done so, you should take your new Labrador
Retriever puppy to the veterinarian.
Be sure to take the puppy’s record of shots and immunization record
along with any other health data you may have.
You should always have your pet on dog vitamins, we recommend
doggyvitamin.com for these and you should also ask your vet about
heartworm and flea prevention. |
