The Labrador retriever is a breed originating from Canada, from the island of Newfoundland. From the beginning it has been used to help people as a hunting and fishing dog. Due to its working abilities and good nature it has remained very popular until this day and age. It is a medium-large breed that comes in three colours of short and dense coat. There are hunting and show variations that differ in temperament. In both types breeding is very similar, but the type of training must be adjusted to the breeding purpose. It’s in their personality to learn quickly and take pleasure in completing tasks. They have a great sense of smell and innate disposition of retrieving items, so in hunting they are most often used to bring in game that has been shot. They are persistent and show great stamina and they are used on less open terrain.
