First of all, labrador retrievers were not bred and created in Labrador. They were bred and created in Newfoundland. They are basically miniature newfoundlands. They originally came from the dog breed: St. Johns Water Dog. This breed was bred with mastiffs and eventually became the labrador retriever we all love today.



Labrador retrievers, as their name states, were bred for retrieving. Their webbed toes allow them to swim great. They make awesome pets (I know from experience). Throughout this site I will be explaining physical characteristics, diseases, attitude, and more. Feel free to explore the web pages I have set up or you can go in order of the links from top to bottom.
