These dogs were great retrievers and they were noticed by the Earl of Malmesbury who imported some of them to Britain. Sadly, the dogs died out in their native Canada but the dogs in Britain and elsewhere were crossed with Setters, Spaniels and other Retrievers until the breed was developed to the lovely dog we know today.

Labradors were first recognised by the Kennel Club in Britain in 1903 and by the American Kennel Club in 1917. The Labrador enjoyed steady popularity throughout most of the 20th century and in the last two decades the Labrador's popularity has climbed steadily.

Talents and Qualities

Today, Labradors do much more than work as duck retrievers. They are well-known as service dogs and guide dogs for the blind. They have excelled as narcotics dogs and bomb-sniffing dogs, too. Labradors often make great dogs for any kind of work that requires specialised training due to their high intelligence, willingness to please and their good nose.
