Experienced Lab owners will tell you that a significant amount of work and commitment goes into owning a dog as described above.

All of these wonderful traits are true of the Labrador Retriever. However, in order to help your pet realize his or her potential, you’ll need to give it daily exercise, attention, and training.

They aren’t born knowing all the things they need to know to be these great dogs – just with the potential!

YOU are responsible for whether or not your Labrador shows off these great qualities or is a very large and unruly nuisance!

Labradors are generally great with children and make fabulous family pets; however, they are large dogs who grow quickly and don’t always know their own strength. Some Labradors are better with children than others.
