The Labrador Retriever, known for its friendly and outgoing nature, originated in Newfoundland. With a sturdy build and a water-resistant coat, Labs are well-suited for retrieving game. They have a lifespan of 10-12 years and require regular grooming to maintain their coat. Labs are highly trainable and make excellent family pets, but they may be prone to certain health concerns. Proper nutrition and puppy care are essential for their overall well-being. Adoption is a great option to provide a loving home for a Labrador Retriever.
