- The Labrador dog has much the same respect for man.
- The early Labrador dog did not originate in Labrador Canada, but descended from former dogs of Newfoundland, left there years before, by European fishermen and settlers.
- The Labrador is bred primarily as a working gun dog; structure and soundness are of great importance.
- The research team is looking for adult Labrador dogs less than two years old that are showing early signs of elbow osteoarthritis.
- Our Labradors are not only beautiful show dogs, but are also take part in other activities such as therapy work.
- The picture shows a number of Labrador Retrievers with their handlers, at the Labrador Retriever Club's Twenty-fifth Field Trials.
