The Labrador Retriever
("Labrador" or "Lab" for short), is one of several kinds of
retriever, and is the most popular
breed of
dog (by registered ownership) in
both the
United States and the
United Kingdom. The breed is
exceptionally affable, intelligent, energetic and good natured,
making them excellent companions and
working dogs. Labrador Retrievers
respond well to praise and positive attention. They are also well
known as enjoying water, since historically, they were selectively
bred for retrieving in water environments as "gun
dogs" and as companions in
waterfowl hunting. This also gave
them time to bond with their owner, which leads to them having a
good temper.
