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:

My lab is my baby- I love him as much as I love my children and even more than I love my husband! My heart will shatter when we get to #20…

Pity they couldn’t find a photo of an old Lab for number 20. The Golden Retriever is a good substitute though.

Ruby girl was my pup until my son came along. Don’t get me wrong, she still loves my husband and I, but the bond between her and our son is truly amazing. We have another lab who’s a senior boy, but is the biggest teddy bear. We don’t really know how old he is, my husband literally rescued him and then nobody claimed him. He’s around 9?
