Questions & Answers
Labrador Retrievers are classed in the Sporting breed, which is one of the seven Groups as classified by the American Kennel Club (AKC). This group comprises of 28 different breeds of hunting dogs, who are known for their high energy and intelligence.

Depending on their age, activity level, and health conditions, this diet may include high-quality dog food specially designed for labs, as well as small quantities of food items such as vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish. Keeping portion sizes appropriate for each Lab's needs is essential in making sure they get all the right nutrients. Fresh, clean water should always be readily available and small amounts of treats can be incorporated into their daily diet.
Before introducing your new Labrador Retriever to its home, you'll want to take some precautions to make sure your home is properly prepared. Firstly, try to puppy-proof the house as much as possible; clear away any small items or objects that may pose a choking hazard or that can be easily chewed or swallowed. If necessary, adjust the boundaries of what your puppy is allowed to explore in the home, and make sure any potential escape routes are blocked. Carry out an audit of potentially hazardous items outside of the home, such as chemicals or pools.
