I know A LOT about my dog's history! For starters, Sadie is a Black Labrador Retriever! Waterproof, water-loving, affable, gregarious, and family oriented- a delicious range of adjectives describes one of the world's most popular family companions. The Labrador onced worked from the shores of the granite-rocked inlets of the Newfoundland coast, retrieving the cork floats of fishing nets and swimming them ashore, so that fisherman could pull in the fish-filled nets. Today, this steadfast breed is the quintessence of the agreeable canine memberof the human family. Dispite this, the Labrador Retriever is one of the most loyal and dependable breeds in the world. Breed history: One of the world's most popular breeds, the Labrador Retriever traces its orgins back to the St. John's region of Newfoundland, Canada. There it was known as the "Small Water Dog", to differentiate it from the larger Newfoundland. Trade in salted cod brought the breed to the port of Poole in Dorset, England, where local landowners acquired specimens and refined their breeding for use as gundogs. That's only a quarter of what I know about Labrador Retrievers!
