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:

Our much loved and respected boy….He is our last one now as we will be too old for another.. We lost our last Retriever and had no idea we would get Benson.We did ,he has given us more than anything we could have imagined and is a fitting tribute to all our beautiful boy’s and girl’s we loved and lost over forty years of loving Dogs…

My one labs stomach twisted and it was too risky at his age to get the surgery, not to mention I couldn’t afford the $1800 the emergency clinic needed now as they did not do billing. Anyways, my wife at the time left the decision up to me. I had to put him down. It was very difficult and I laid on the floor holding him until the very end. It was so tough. He was the greatest dog is ever had and my family loved him dearly. Good article.
