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.
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Labrador Retrievers are no exception!
But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Lab owners must never forget.
If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Labrador owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…
Check out the 20 Things All Labrador Owners Must Never Forget on the next page:

After being owners of quite a few pavement specials whom we loved and cared for so much we got our first Labrador retriever. What a different kind of dog they are. You can’t just help but to love them to bits. This is his best sleeping position. Upside down and snores like a pro.

I lost my beautiful Bora two weeks ago today in an accident. Missing him crazy. He was the best friend and a furry child anyone could ask for. As he was taking his last breaths in my arms, I’m glad that I was with him till the end.
