Friendly, full of life and tender, the Labrador became one of the most popular dogs in the United States and this seems to be a trend in Europe too. The breed is appreciated for its intelligence and its capability to perform easily.
The Labrador Retriever descends from Newfoundland (not in Labrador, as its name suggest), east of Canada. In the past, the Labrador was used for hunting, but, along the years, Labradors have become assistance dogs, police, military, rescue and detection dogs, field trial dogs, or simply wonderful pets, due to their intelligence, discipline, their balanced temperament, and also for their ability of understanding human beings.
