Labrador Retriever

One of the most popular police dog breeds in the world is the Labrador Retriever, also known as the Labrador, is a British retriever gun dog breed. It was named after the Labrador region of the colony of Newfoundland (now a province of Canada) and was developed in the United Kingdom from fishing dogs imported from that colony. It is one of the most popular breeds of dog in many countries, particularly in the Western world.

The Labrador is a dog that is loyal, obedient, and playful. It was originally bred as a sporting and hunting dog, but it is now commonly kept as a companion dog. It can also be trained to be a guide or assistance dog, as well as for rescue and therapy work.

Labrador Retrievers have a high success rate in becoming guide dogs. A recent study looked at how well four different breeds (Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever Mixes, and German Shepherds) trained to be guide dogs. Labradors are strong and indefatigable swimmers known for their ability to withstand cold water for extended periods of time. Their ability to work quietly alongside hunters while watching for birds to fall from the sky, marking where they land, and then using their exceptional nose to find and retrieve dead or injured birds has elevated them to the throne of waterfowl retrievers.
