The top dog breed in America is the Labrador retriever. This is the number one most popular breed in America, with an estimated 600,000 dogs registered each year. This breed is good with children and is a very loyal dog. Their gentle nature and easy-going temperament make them easy to train.
Labrador retrievers are great hunting dogs. They were bred from a small Newfoundland dog for retrieving items from cold water after hunts, hence their name “Labrador” retriever. They have webbed toes on their front paws which make them ideal swimmers.
In addition, they have a great feel for locating hidden objects underwater, even when visibility is poor. This also enables them to be trained as guide dogs for the blind. They are intelligent and will work tirelessly until any task set them is complete. This makes them great rescue dogs. Labrador retrievers are also highly trainable and make good search and rescue, drug detection, and bomb detection dogs.
One of their most popular uses is as guide dogs for the blind. Their gentle nature and good training make them good choices for this type of work. They can become irritated by boisterous or aggressive behavior so they should always be supervised when with children to prevent any incidents from occurring which could lead to injury.
In addition, Labradors have a very easy-going temperament making them unsuitable as protection or guard dogs as they would not attack anyone without provocation. This breed loves people including children but needs to be trained not to jump up excessively because they are very tall animals.
