I like most labs (just as I like most dogs in any breed) but I don't think that I would ever get a lab as a pet. The main reason is the overbreeding! I can check out the "Pets for sale" section in the classifieds of the Toledo Blade, and there are always AT LEAST 12 to 15 entries for litters of Lab puppies! But then I go to the Humane Society, and usually about a third of the dogs there for adoption are Labs or Lab mixes! Nothing against Labs (though I don't think I could keep up with one, LOL )!
