The Labrador Retriever ("Labrador"
or "Lab" for short), is one of several kinds of retriever, and is
the most popular breed of dog (by registered ownership) in both the
United States and the United Kingdom. The breed is exceptionally
friendly, intelligent, energetic and good natured, making them
excellent companions and working dogs. Labrador Retrievers are known
to be one of the fastest-learning breeds of dog and respond well to
praise and positive attention. They are also well known as enjoying
water, since historically, they were selectively bred for retrieving
in water environments as 'gun dogs' and as companions in duck
hunting.
