Labrador Retrievers should only be discussed using superlatives. “The best,” “The smartest,” “The most loyal,” would all be appropriate. It’s these qualities and many many more that make the Labrador Retriever America’s number 1 most popular dog breed, according to the American Kennel Club. The Labrador Retriever is easily recognizable in many movies and TV shows, from “Marley and Me” and “Old Yeller,” to Brian Griffin in the “Family Guy” animated series.
According to the American Kennel Club, Labrador Retrievers, also known simply as “Labs,” have three acceptable coat colors: black, chocolate, and yellow. They are friendly, loyal, and active, and as retrievers, Labs love water! They make perfect family pets and are great companions for families with young kids and with other dog breeds.
It’s important that great care is used in selecting a family breeder who has a positive reputation and shows tremendous attention to maintaining the physical and social well-being of their Labs. The family breeder should love their Labs and that should be refelcted in their kennel, their play yard, and the attention they give to their puppies, which is critical in socializing them to get along with people and other animals. The family breeder should show great discipline in selling their puppies to families. Not every family will provide a good home for their puppies, and quality family breeders are selective about where their puppies end up.
And it’s with great pride that Tender Oak Family Labs hand raises their Labrador Retrievers in a natural setting, the oak covered hills of eastern San Diego County, California. Tender Oak Family Labs raises yellow Labs and has a breeding program that produces healthy and well-socialized Labs.
