Nowadays, this social,\u00a0highly intelligent and hard working breed uses it&#8217;s skills to service the community and is\u00a0often chosen as police dogs, customs dogs and guide dogs for the blind.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #52c4be;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">PERSONALITY TRAITS AND BEHAVIOUR<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Family: <\/strong>Great for families but a well fenced yard is essential. Labrador puppies may be difficult to control with very young kids or the elderly due to their energetic nature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Personality: <\/strong>One of the most sweet-natured breeds. Outgoing, eager to please and friendly to both people and animals. Highly social and not suited to being alone for long periods of time. Needs mental and physical activity to keep happy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Temperament: <\/strong>Naturally social animals, friendly, good-natured and exceptionally affectionate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trainability: <\/strong>Easily trained and intelligent, these large and energetic dogs should be signed up for puppy or obedience classes as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sociability (other pets): <\/strong>Excellent with other dogs and pets<\/p>\n<p><strong>Barking: <\/strong>Medium tendency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=eL5CCBGK0BU&amp;offerid=502078.11&amp;subid=0&amp;type=4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ad.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/show?id=eL5CCBGK0BU&amp;bids=502078.11&amp;subid=0&amp;type=4&amp;gridnum=13\" alt=\"Petbarn\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #52c4be;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><strong>GROOMING<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Grooming Needs:<\/strong> Minimal grooming and easy to maintain due to short coat. Need regular brushes, at least weekly, and occasional baths, every two months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coat Type: <\/strong>Short, dense coat with weather resistant undercoat. Comes in three colours chocolate balck and yellow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Moulting:<\/strong> Moderate to high level of shedding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><span style=\"color: #52c4be;\"><strong>HEALTH AND PHYSICAL NEEDS<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Exercise Needs:<\/strong> Daily walks essential, minimum 30 minutes. Labradors need to stretch their legs and run, a large yard and close off the leash dog park is important. Activity levels of labs do vary but without exercise pent-up energy can lead to destructive behaviour in the form of chewing and barking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diet: <\/strong>Love to eat and become obese very quickly if overfed. Limit treats, measure out regular meals rather than leaving food out all the time and plenty of exercise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Average Life Span:<\/strong> 10 \u2013 14 years<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special Considerations: <\/strong>Hereditary problems: hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy and epilepsy.<br \/>To get a healthy dog, never buy a puppy from an irresponsible breeder, puppy mill or pet store.
