Labrador Retrievers?

[zoomer]

Labs are great dogs! I haven't met one that runs off and they are easy to train but shed a lot!

They are adorable as puppies, and very high energy as they grow. If you can make it through the first couple years, you'll have a great, much calmer dog. Or, of course, you can opt for an already-grown-up Lab at most shelters, they are, on the whole, a wonderful, sweet breed, will retreive until your arm is ready to fall off, love water, and, depending on the individual dog, can be sharp as a whip (which a happy lab's tail feels like against bare legs), or dumb as a rock, but are great dogs!

Labs are GREAT dogs! Very overbred dog breed though, I must say! I own two labrador retrievers, one yellow, one black. Both are females. Sadie is the black lab, she's now 10 years old. She's the perfect dog ever! Rita is the yellow lab, she's about 5 months old now, so she's still a pup!
Labs are very high energy dogs. They mostly are fairly easy dogs to train, but some are very hard-headed.

They shed lots, and lots! They need to be brushed a few times a week, just to keep to shedding down, and to mantain a healthy coat.

As an owner of two labradors, I personally adore the breed. But, I would love to own several other breeds sometime in my life.
