Training for Labrador puppies is so rewarding, as with all breeds. However, I do have a strong affinity for the breed, as it has been a part of my life for most of my life. They are very loyal, loving, and intelligent. It is no surprise that they are ranked as the top breed for families!

They are an excellent addition to a family. However, they can be high-energy and generally require a lot of training, including both mental and physical exercise. Getting the balance right is crucial.

There are two distinct types of Labrador: working and show. The working type tends to be leaner and sometimes a bit more leggy, although this isn’t always the case. Some dogs may be smaller, but all working lines will tend to have a high energy level, especially the Fox Red variety. This is a genetic trait worth considering before you get your puppy, especially if you are still in the planning stages of adding a Labrador to your family.

The show types tend to be less energetic and can be more solid and chunky. Their heads are often more square. 

Both love to work, but the show type do tend to be more placid
