The Labrador Retriever is by some margin the most popular dog breed in the world. In the UK alone, breed registrations for Labrador Retrievers are double that of the next most popular dog, the Cocker Spaniel.

In the USA it is a similar story. Labrador Retriever registrations are three times higher than the next most popular dog breed in the the USA, the Yorkshire Terrier.

The story is exactly the same in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Finland, France, Israel and Sweden. In fact in any country for which breed statistics are available, the Labrador Retriever is far and away the most popular breed of dog.

Given the outstanding character of the Labrador Retriever, is it any wonder it is the world’s most popular breed of dog!
