The Labrador Retriever Breed: Why We Highly Recommend Them

At Hidden Pond Labradors, we are well-versed in the Labrador breed. They’re an incredibly smart breed, known for their loyalty, and kindness. Not to mention that their number one trait is their personality and that is our absolute requirement for our dogs.

Here is some additional information about the Labrador breed:

Social Life of a Labrador Retriever

A Labrador’s sociability is one of its greatest benefits. Not only do they get along well with humans, but also, other dogs—this is huge for any potential dog owner. Labs are devoted, intelligent, and enthusiastic companions who need to be included in family activities.

Training a Labrador Retriever

One of the most important factors that go into the decision to purchase a pet should be their ability to be trained. Labradors fall on the “eager to please” side of AKC’s spectrum, meaning they’re ready to be trained. They are a gentle and non-aggressive dog breed and possess a well-mannered temperament.

With the Lab’s physical strength, early socialization and puppy training classes are vital. Gently exposing the puppy to a wide variety of people, places, and situations between the ages of 7 weeks and 4 months and beginning obedience training early on will help him develop into a well-adjusted, well-mannered adult. Puppy training classes serve as part of the socialization process and help the owner to recognize and correct any bad habits that may be developing.

Building a Life with a Labrador Retriever

One of the most important aspects of bringing a dog home to you and your family is how you’ll grow in life with them. We can hammer out all the benefits of the Labrador Retriever Breed, but it is also up to the dog owner to ensure that you’re prepared to build a life with them. Labrador Retrievers become a vital part of any family. They become the next member who is almost like a human. They want to be loved, but they also want to please you. They provide incredible memories that you’ll cherish for your entire life.
