Questions & Answers
Labrador Retrievers are a remarkable breed! They are a friendly and loyal pet, and are also used for a variety of jobs such as service dogs, search and rescue dogs, and guide dogs.
Labrador Retrievers are not hypoallergenic breeds; they do shed, however they are low-to-moderate shedding dogs. Because of their short, dense coat, you are likely to see more shedding on your furniture and clothing than if the dog had a longer coat. Additionally, they shed year-round, so consistent grooming and de-shedding can help keep the hair at bay and maintain the coat's natural shine. Brushing their coat once or twice a week will also help reduce shedding and keep their coat healthy and looking its best.
Labrador Retrievers are generally considered a medium-sized active breed of dog that require a healthy and well-balanced diet. It is important to select a high-quality commercial dog food specifically tailored to the needs of an active dog like a Labrador Retriever. As a rule of thumb, a healthy diet should consist of 30% protein, 10-15% oils and fats, 40-50% complex carbohydrates, and the remainder should be made up of vitamins and minerals.
To prepare for your new Labrador Retriever, make sure that your home is safe and comfortable. Start by puppy-proofing the area in which you plan for your puppy to spend most of its time. Move potentially dangerous objects to a higher shelf and put up safety gates if needed. Have a spot for them in your home that's well lit and easy to clean. Have necessary care items ready, such as a crate, collar, feeding dishes, food, and hygiene supplies. Make sure there's enough room for them to move freely in and out of the space.
Labrador Retrievers have a broad range of coat options and sizes. The smallest is the "Toy" size which is around 15 inches tall and weighs less than 20 pounds. The medium size is between 19-21 inches tall and weighs around 40-50 pounds. The largest size is the "Giant" which stands over 23-24 inches tall and weighs more than 65 pounds. A mixture of these sizes is known as the standard size which is typically between 22-25 inches tall and weighs between 30-40 pounds.
Absolutely, you can take your Labrador Retriever running! Generally speaking, Labs are a type of dog that loves physical activity and can be programmed to adapt to running as a form of exercise. You might need to modify your running routine to suit the breed’s energy and stamina level, as they are not built for long-distance running. A brisk and regular jog is recommended for health and proper conditioning to keep your dog in top physical shape. Ensure that the conditions for your run are appropriate and that your Labrador is wearing a leash.
Absolutely! Labrador Retrievers are renowned for their loyalty, good nature, and unconditional love. They make wonderful, gentle family pets who will become deeply devoted to their owners. They are incredibly easy to train, very intelligent, very sociable, and get along with people of all ages. Plus, they are incredibly hardworking and have a great sense of humor! Because of this, they are a great option for owners who want an active, sociable dog who can also just relax and hang out in the house.
Training a Labrador Retriever requires patience, repetition, rewards, and consistency. First, a positive reward system should be established to promote behaviors such as ‘sit’ and ‘stay’. Rewards such as treats, verbal praise, and skritches on the head should be given in a timely manner after the desired behavior has been completed. Secondly, consistent reinforcement is key. Make sure you're consistent in not only the reward system but also the basic dog commands such as those outlined above. Thirdly, create a positive reinforcement training environment.
