Labradors are friendly and sociable and are known for their outgoing and friendly personalities. They make great companions and are always eager to make new friends, both human and animal.
They are a popular choice for families because they are gentle and patient with children. They also have a high tolerance for rough play and can handle the energy of young children.
They are very emotionally stable and while they’ll notice if someone in the family is having a bad day, it won’t interfere with their demeanor, they’ll still be sweet and loving, and, of course, will be looking for extra affection from the person with a bad day.
Labradors are easy to train because of their eager-to-please attitude. They excel in obedience, agility, therapy work, service work, and other activities. Labradors have lots of energy and need regular exercise, which make them perfect for active individuals or families who enjoy outdoor activities. They are great jogging or hiking companions and also they love to swim.
A lot of people confuse easy-going with low energy, but this isn’t really the case. The labs have a lot of energy, but it’s playful, non-reactive energy, allowing them to go with you all day, in a good mood.
Labradors are overall low maintenance. They have a short, dense coat that requires minimal grooming. They also have a water resistant coat, which means they don’t need frequent baths. Just a little Dawn dish soap and they’re good to go after a mud bath!
Labradors do shed a fair amount, but this is mitigated with good dog food. Many of our families have invested in a Furminator, which is a grooming brush that helps remove the undercoat.
Labs are affectionate and loyal. They are known for their loving and affectionate personalities. They form strong bonds with their owners and are always eager to please them, making them incredibly loyal companions.
They have a laid back and easy going nature, which makes them great for first time dog owners or households with multiple pets. They can get along with other animals and are generally well behaved and adaptable to different situations.
