Labradors

Labrador retrievers, Labradors or labs were traditionally, and still are, used as a type of gun dog.

In more recent years pedigree Labrador puppies have been sought out by buyers as they have acquired a reputation

for being a good all round dog.

If a Lab puppy is not given the proper care

and training they could develop behavioural

problems in the future. Make sure you're

prepared to look after a Labrador puppy - Get puppy smart.

If you’ve seen the advert with the yellow or ‘golden’ Labrador puppy that runs off with the lavatory paper, you’ll

probably agree it paints a very idealistic picture of family life with a slightly mischievous puppy.

unfortunately, because of the way they’ve been bred, the breed suffers from inherited diseases which can seriously

affect the health and welfare of labs.

Carefully consider why you want to buy a

Labrador puppy before handing over your

cash, and if a Labrador is the right dog for

your family and lifestyle. Watch our

Get puppy smart animation for helpful information about buying a puppy.
