The Labrador Retriever is one of many breeds of the retriever hunting type. Extremely loyal
and intelligent, Labradors are one the most popular pet breeds in numerous countries,
including the United States. While they still serve the purpose for which they were initially
bred, which is retrieving small downed waterfowl, they are also adept at a number of other jobs
including leading the blind, acting as hearing dogs, and police and military work. Their
kind nature, obedience, and knack for getting along with children also gives them the reputation
of being the ideal pet.
