Questions & Answers
Labrador Retrievers are classified in the Sporting group of dogs. This group includes sporting and gundogs, such as pointers, setters, retrievers, and spaniels. Labradors are strong, smart, athletic, and family-friendly dogs that excel at activities such as taking part in competitions and water sports, as well as being a great companion. They love to retrieve and are excellent swimmers due to their partly webbed feet and strong, muscular bodies.
Labrador Retrievers are known for their charismatic personalities and luscious coats. Their coats come in three varieties – yellow, black and chocolate – and can be either long or short. The common Labrador Retriever coat is thick and straight but the straighter coats are seen more commonly in American Labs. The amount of shedding can vary as some Labradors tend to shed more than others, however an occasional brush can help to reduce the amount of shedding.
Labrador Retrievers do have special dietary needs due to their large size and activity levels. Many veterinarians suggest feeding Labradors a food specifically designed for large, active breeds as their caloric needs are higher than other breeds. Additionally, because Labradors are prone to weight gain, it is important to carefully monitor their caloric intake to avoid obesity. Proper nutrition is key to maintaining their lean muscle mass and overall health. The food should provide them with all the necessary macronutrients and vitamins their bodies require for proper development.
Before getting a Labrador Retriever, it's important to be prepared with all the essentials. Adequate food and water dishes, a comfortable bed, chew-resistant toys, collar and leash, food appropriate for their age, treats, nail clippers, brush, shampoo, waste disposal bags, and an ID tag with contact information should all be acquired beforehand. Additionally, a secure, fenced-in yard to run and exercise in is a must-have for owning a Labrador Retriever. Lastly, training and socialization classes should also be considered for their proper development.
Labrador Retrievers are typically larger breeds, with an average size being around 21-25 inches tall, at the shoulder, and 55-80 pounds. How big your Labrador Retriever puppy will be can vary greatly and can depend on a variety of factors, including the size of their parents, the environment they grow up in, and even their diet. Generally speaking, these larger breeds will reach their full size by about 18 months. You should also keep in mind that with some Labradors, there may be a bit of additional growth spurts during the first two years.
Labrador Retrievers are renowned for their love of the water! They enjoy spending time swimming and playing in the water, so it's no surprise that Labs are excellent swimmers. Some Labrador Retrievers are even avid divers! They have strong retriever instincts and love to dive underwater and bring back objects to their owners such as sticks, balls, and more. They also love to paddle around the pool or lake, and they won't hesitate to jump into the water to join their owners or friends. Labrador Retrievers are generally full of energy and great companions when exploring water activities.
Labrador Retrievers are incredibly well-suited to being around children. They are known for being loyal, gentle, and affectionate with children of all ages. They have plenty of energy to keep up with kids of all ages, and are easily trained to know and obey commands. Labradors also love the attention that children provide them, and are always up for a game of fetch. Generally, Labradors are completely at ease with kids, so long as they are properly socialized. The breed's even temperament and loving nature make them a great companion for children.
The amount of training your Labrador Retriever will need each day will depend on their age, the particular commands you're teaching them, and their ability to learn. Generally speaking, it is recommended that an owner of an adult Labrador Retriever dedicate at least 15-30 minutes a day for training. Puppies have shorter attention spans, so may require less intense sessions. However, that should be supplemented with additional short 5-10 minute spurts of focused training throughout the day.
