The following are some of the most common questions that Labrador Retriever enthusiasts have with straight to the point answers on each.
What kind of personality does a lab have?
Here is the good, the bad, and the ugly truth about Labs and their personalities. Labs are big and bouncy with an enthusiastic attitude toward life. They live for exercise and play time. Labs are steady-tempered and dependable usually with everyone and they are peaceful with other animals. They are also eager to please and very responsive to training. Labs can be rowdy and excited jumpers, especially when young or not exercised enough. Labs suffer from separation anxiety when left alone too much. Labs love to carry things in their mouth and chew.
If I want a Labrador for a pet, do I have to bother with AKC registration papers?
The AKC will register any puppy whose parents are registered. To get registration papers or a pedigree, a Labrador retriever doesn't have to meet any qualifications of health, temperament, behavior, or sound structure. So, the answer is no.
There is an adorable Labrador retriever puppy at the pet shop. The store manager assures me they only buy from good breeders. Should I buy him?
No! The truth is that no good breeder would send his pups to a pet store. The pups likely came from a puppy mill and could have been mistreated or neglected.
Do you recommend male puppies or female puppies?
Truthfully, they both have their good and bad points.
How can I pick the best Labrador retriever puppy from a whole litter?
Your first look should be at the litter as a group. If there are a group of Labrador retriever puppies and most of them are running away or barking suspiciously, that is not a good sign. It indicates that they lack socialization skills. Labrador retriever puppies that hide or tuck their tails or shrink away from you are not safe choices as pets. Shy puppies usually become shy dogs who may snap defensively at anything that startles them.
My Labrador retriever barks too much. What can I do to stop these behavior problems?
A dog that barks too much is annoying. You will have to teach him to bark on command. You will reward him when he doesn't bark and ignore him when he does.
What can I do my Labrador retriever still isn't housebroken?
Confine your Labrador so he cannot go to the bathroom in the wrong places and make sure that he has constant access to the right place to go to the bathroom.
