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!

They drag you and their older brothers for sunrise walks on the beach while on vacation, only to bark at ferocious creatures!!
Joker and his bro and best bud, Kasey Cane, were seemingly infatuated with the horseshoe crabs in Dewey Beach, DE last year! We are there every year and the boys always make sure we are up for the sunrise. Usually we sit and watch it come up over the ocean, but with these guys crawling all over, it was too exciting!

I’ve had four labs. All great. Sure they got into things but that were only expressing themselves. Loved the cat as if it was one of them, loved water, but not the rain. There for me no matter how my day went. Best dogs ever. My current lab is the best traveler too. And can walk off leash with me wherever I go. Love labs!!! Other dogs are good too but I have never owned anything else.

My boy is 11 months old now but about a month ago, he managed to break my arm!
Taking him for a stroll in the park he was playing with a new friend he’d made and as their mum was taking them home, my boy decided he wanted go with them. Where I’m in my wheelchair, I simply didn’t see him or expect him to go running as fast as he did and the hand with the lead snapped back breaking the radius bone!
I couldn’t stay mad with him for long, not with those doe-eyes!

I’m not squimis, don’t think you can be when you have labradors, but man they really put you to the test….the farts really smell like rotten eggs or something like that, and they linger in the air at least a good 5 min…..and when you try to escape the stench my lean mean fart machines just run after me. I don’t get how anything can possibly smell so bad!
