Labrador Retrievers

Labrador Retrievers

The Labrador Retriever is a devoted, friendly, lovable, tolerant dog. They are highly intelligent and good-natured. They love to play, especially in water. They cannot do without human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. You must include them in all your family activities. They enjoy being a part of the group.

I have a Lab. Her name is Nyx and she is 4 years old. We live in an apartment and Nyx gets little exercise indoors. We take her out to play with another female lab called Todo in our apartment. Todo is an year old and is bundle of puppy energy. In general Labs are energetic and love to play hard. But I can say that Nyx is an exception. She doesn’t enjoy long sessions of play. She prefers shorter play times.

There are many labs in our apartment apart from Nyx and Todo. Labs are becoming very popular. They are mainly house pets but are also popular as assistance dogs. They are also widely used by police their detection abilities.
