The Labrador Retriever is the world’s most popular dog for very good reason. Few dogs come even close to matching the Labrador Retriever when it comes to their intelligence, overall abilities, their good nature and particularly their ability to seemlessly adapt to their owner’s lifestyle.

Labrador Retrievers are exceptionally good-natured, patient, tolerant, gentle, friendly – the adjectives just go on and on when it comes to this amazing breed of dog.

Hard to believe then that the Labrador Retriever was originally bred not to be the world’s favourite companion or pet dog, but as a working dog charged with retrieving game.
