Explore the Labrador- Did you know? 

1. Labrador Retrievers are among the most popular dogs in the world. They are named after the Labrador Sea, where they were bred to help fishermen bring in nets and loose fish from the water. They are a smaller version of the Newfoundland dog.


2. A layered, slightly oiled coat keeps these athletic dogs warm in cold water. Labradors love water and are excellent swimmers because of their webbed feet. They have an otter-like tail that acts like a rudder in the water. 

 

3. Labradors are very athletic dogs that can reach a speed of 19 km/h (12 mph) in three seconds. They are bred to have a ‘soft mouth.’ A well-trained Lab can carry an egg in its mouth without breaking it.

 

4. Labs are energetic dogs who love life, have a great ability to learn, and are eager to please their owners. Labradors are expressive dogs, and it is probable that they express their gratitude by licking the hands which pet them.
