Labrador Retriever
Large
Newfoundland
Labradors orginated from Newfoundland over 200 years ago and belong to the 'Gun Dog' groups of dogs. Labrador Retrievers are considered to be the most popular breed of dogs in the world. They are well known as working dogs, especially being used by police and helping the blind.
True Labrador Retriever temperament is as much a hallmark of the breed as the "otter" tail. The ideal disposition is one of a kindly, outgoing, tractable nature; eager to please and non-aggressive towards man or animal. The Labrador has much that appeals to people; his gentle ways, intelligence and adaptability make him an ideal dog. Aggressiveness towards humans or other animals, or any evidence of shyness in an adult should be severely penalized.
