Questions & Answers
Labrador Retrievers are a highly versatile breed of dog. They are considered to be a sporting dog, classified by the American Kennel Club (AKC) as a member of the Sporting Group. The Labrador Retriever holds the distinction of being the most popular breed registered in the United States, making it not only a sporting dog but also one of the most popular dogs with American families. Labradors are strong and playful, with an even temperament which is why they make for excellent family dogs.
While there is no guarantee that any breed of dog will be 100% allergen free, Labrador Retrievers are generally considered to be a hypoallergenic breed, meaning that their shedding and dander production are both low. However, all dog breeds produce at least some degree of allergens and many people with allergies still find themselves having reactions when around Labrador Retrievers. To determine if you are allergic to Labrador Retrievers, the best advice would be to spend some time around the breed, such as visiting a breeder or local shelter, to see if any allergies occur.
Labrador Retrievers are a working breed that require an appropriate calorie intake to support their active lifestyles. Depending on the age and size of your Lab, you should feed them a high-quality dog food tailored to their specific needs. Puppies require more calories than an adult dog and may need calorie-dense, nutrient-rich food to support their growth. Adult Labradors should receive an appropriate amount of food for their size to maintain an ideal weight. Nutrient-dense protein sources such as lean beef, chicken, fish, or eggs should make up a large portion of their diet.
To prepare your home for a new Labrador Retriever, one of the most important things to do is a thorough puppy-proofing of your space. Be sure any small objects on the floor are picked up, any low shelves or tables are secured, and all electrical cords are kept out of reach. Additionally, you should purchase any necessary supplies, such as food and water bowls, a crate, chew toys, and a leash. You should also designate an area of the home as the designated “bathroom” space, and use potty pads until your pup is housetrained.
Generally, Labrador Retrievers can be considered big dogs depending on their sex, age, and height. Fully grown male Labs tend to be fairly large, whereas females typically stay smaller. As a breed, Labrador Retrievers are classified as mediumto large-sized dogs, standing from 21.5 to 24.5 inches tall and weighing from 55 to 80 pounds. Even though Labradors are taller than some other breeds, they are usually not as heavy as many giant-sized dog breeds.
Labrador Retrievers are high-energy, medium-sized dogs that require a significant amount of exercise. Generally, they require daily physical activities such as strenuous walks or jogs, swimming, games of fetch, or other activities. They also benefit from games that stimulate their minds, such as hide and seek, and search and rescue. It is important to provide physical and mental stimulation to help keep your Labrador Retriever calm and content in the home and avoid destructive behaviors.
Yes, Labrador Retrievers are typically known to be especially patient and gentle around children. Labradors provide both entertainment and companionship for young people, making them an ideal dog breed for the family. They love to play and keep children engaged. They are loyal, smart, quick learners and have an affinity for people. Labradors also tend to be very protective of their family members, children included, and will alert their owners if anything out of the ordinary happens.
The amount of time needed to train a Labrador Retriever varies from dog to dog. Generally speaking, however, it's recommended that you devote at least 20 minutes a day to training your Labrador Retriever. During this time, focus on basic commands sit, stay, come and heel as well as proper behavior, including not jumping and not barking excessively. In addition to the daily training sessions, it may also be beneficial to practice commands throughout the day and provide your Labrador Retriever with frequent opportunities to exercise.
