12 Realities New Labrador Owners Must Learn To Accept

by pawbuzz on in Dogs 119

The Labrador Retriever is one terrific family dog — given enough vigorous exercise (preferably including swimming and fetching games) and not just a walk around the block once a day. Too much confinement and not enough exercise can lead to rambunctiousness and destructive chewing.

One of the best dogs for children of all ages, Labrador Retrievers are kindly, good-natured, and take most things in stride.

Most Labrador Retrievers are very friendly with everyone, though compared to Golden Retrievers, many Labs are just a bit more conservative with their affections.

The Labrador Retriever matures slowly, remaining a spirited teenager for several years, which sounds fun . . . but does require patience and training to manage.

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.

    This is all so true. I’ve been raising labs for over 20 years. They are one of the best family dogs. You must stay consent on their training. It’s hard sometime but the end result is worth it.

    I’ve been owned by a chocolate labrador for almost 3 years. My bed is ‘our bed’, my bedroom is ‘our bedroom’. Underneath the bed is the place to stash treasurers (as long as its not a bone). Can’t find the missing shoe….it’s under the bed! When I’m sitting in my sofa chair, I often have 35kgs of furry, brown love sitting on my lap, smothering me with canine kisses. When I’m not sitting in my sofa chair, it’s being kept warm anyway.
