Labs are not the only dogs with these characteristics but given their size and intelligence, Labs certainly are one of the most confident and lion-hearted friends a man could ever have.
Thanks to their trainability, Labs are fantastic therapy and rescue dogs, adding to their greatness and strength as loyal, protective and devoted pets particularly to children.
They have cool personalities and are incredibly patient with anyone they assess as weaker than them, including other smaller pets in the household. Labs are rarely aggressive and almost never mean.
Labrador Retrievers are athletic dogs and need plenty of exercise, which makes them terrific motivators for all members of the household to be active and outdoorsy. Labs are very friendly wherever they are, from their homes to parks to their owners’ friends’ houses, these dogs are social butterflies that enjoy anyone’s company.
