I don't know why, but this thread makes me so incredibly sad. Why are so many people not fond of labs? What makes people not like them so much? Have you really taken the time to get to know one before you just write them off??
Labradors are just my kind of dog, i like a training challenge and dogs that are bred for completly different reasongs (Border Collies). Also because of overbreeding agression/ health issues are alot more common in Labradors these days. I have only met one field/ working Lab and she was an awsome sporting dog agile fast and smart, but they are very rare around our way .

Each to their own.
