    A Labrador Retriever is the best friend a human being can have.
    The only bad thing is when he dies your heart gets shattered in a million pieces, you will miss him every single day of your life.

    my good wife has always wanted one and when she stopped work a 6 week old black lab puppy arrived !! She is now 7 months old and we are very pleased, we are fortunate to live on the west coast of Scotland with hill and woodlands walks from our back door. Long walks and river swims are her favourite and we are kept fit and active with her...I really recommend this breed and its wonderful nature but you do have to be able to handle the level of exercise

    I've had two yellow English labs. Both passed a little over 10 years old from health issues. First one was from a breeder, second one was 6 month old rescue. I finally got another one, a black American Labrador. He just turned 7 months old. More challenging to train than an English, so please be sure you are ready if you're considering an American Labrador. Fair winds and following seas to all.

      Labs are usually good in every environment. Make sure you choose a puppy carefully and a breeder carefully. They are prone to hip and elbow dysplasia and cancer. So do you're research and choose a reputable breeder who clears all his/her dogs for dysplasia and other problems seen in the breed. But back to your question, as long as you give them an hour walk daily or even better, twice a day, and other outside activities, your lab should be happy and healthy:)

    Labs are not for couch potatoes. They need lots of physical (and mental) activity.

    So why are certain dog breeds known to have certain distinct personality traits to the point where you can say, "Expect a gentle heart", yet this isn't the case with humans? If we ever said that one race was more playful than another, or had on average a gentle heart, we'd get called racist. But why? Surely people also have general traits based on "breeding". ?

      Because people are not actually selected and bred systematically through the ages? I mean we don't even control the hair colour, not talking about other traits.

      A trait is what they are genetically disposed to regardless of training. The level of training they can achieve is their potential.

    Oh for god's sake there is no best or worst breed. Maybe in your opinion there are better breeds but don't tell people there are better breeds, it's their opinion, not yours.
