Originating from 19th-century Newfoundland fishermen's water dogs and refined in England, the Labrador has held the title of America's most popular breed for over 30 consecutive years. Outgoing, food-motivated, and remarkably even-tempered, they take to swimming, retrieving, and obedience training with equal enthusiasm. They suit first-time owners, families, and active singles — provided the daily exercise needs are met and the food bowl isn't left unattended.
