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.

    I had a Pyrenees for years. I couldn’t PAY that dog to sleep in my bed.

    A few months ago I got a Labrador because I wanted another large breed and he was the only large breed at the pound. I don’t even have to call him to bed–I just have to get in bed and there he is. 🙂
