The answer to the question “Why the Labrador Retriever?” too often seems to be “Why not!”
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.
Since there are literally millions of happy Labrador lovers around the world, why shouldn’t everyone love a Lab?
Given the breed’s good looks, trainability, loyalty, intelligence, etc., why isn’t this the dog for everyone on the planet who loves dogs?!
Well, there are reasons to believe that Labrador Retrievers are actually the worst dogs to live with… EVER!
Check out the 25 reasons why Labradors are the worst dogs to live with on the next page!

So playful and smart. Perfect dog breed to own. Doesn’t shed hardly. Can’t think of any bad reasons to own a lab as a family pet.
