The beloved Labrador Retriever is playful, loving to people and hardworking. The Lab can be counted on as a
true friend anytime, anyplace, and is highly respected for his prowess at many jobs: as a service dog for
the disabled, a working dog in the field, or a faithful companion at home.
The Lab's medium-size build and sound, athletic, well-balanced conformation enables him or her to excel
as a retrieving gun dog with the substance and soundness to hunt waterfowl or upland game for long
hours under difficult conditions. The Lab also has the character and quality to win in the show ring and the
temperment to be an excellent family companion.
As recognized by the AKC, the Labrador is a member of
the Sporting Group and was
first recognized by the AKC in 1917.
