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:

jake was the most gentle, caring and brave boy you could meet. . He was born with elbow and hip dysplasia, and had many more problems throughout his life val but we looked after him and we were lucky to have him for nearly thirteen years(having been told by the vet he would be lucky to reach five).

The wonderful lovable labs. Love them. I’ve had labs for over 40 yrs. 3 at one time) and all of them were special in their own way. My present lab has been joined by a Weimaraner. They are constant playmates who love to run, swim and snuggle.
