The answer to the question “Why the Labrador Retriever?” too often seems to be “Why not!”
Since there are literally millions of happy Labrador lovers around the world, why shouldn’t everyone love a Lab?
Given the breed’s good looks, trainability, loyalty, intelligence, etc., why isn’t this the dog for everyone on the planet who loves dogs?!
Bringing a Labrador into your life is a very big decision. A decision you should only make after doing your own research on what you're getting yourself into and the commitments you need to make.
If you are considering to own a labrador, or you’ve just become a new labrador owner, there are some realities you do need to fully accept.
