Labrador Puppy

By Philip Mandy


Dogs are known to be very friendly animals. As you are choosing the dog that you want you may suddenly see a bundle of fluff streaking across your path. What you are looking at is that of a Labrador puppy. These gentle yet highly excited puppies are the perfect pets. You will need to think about which type of Labrador puppy that you want to adopt. This is due to the fact that the Labrador breed comes in two different types.

These are English Labradors and American Labradors. Both these dogs have dissimilar looks, a fact that can be helpful in deciding which breed you want as a pet or a companion. Also in the dog breed itself, there are four different colorations of the dog which can be helpful in determining which kind of dog you want to make a part of your family.

A Labrador puppy can be found in silver, yellow, chocolate and black color. Usually one color that is omitted more often than not is silver, because of the controversy related to this color among major dog breeders. According to some breeders any Labrador puppy that has a silver coat is actually a cross between a Labrador and a Weinmeriner. While other breeders argue that the silver color is actually a true mutation.

A Labrador is more likely to fit into the lifestyle of a person who is energetic in nature as Labradors are known to be full of energy. The lab, as it is more commonly known as, is a dog that has a great liking for swimming activities. Unlike other dogs, a lab is bred to swim. These dogs are excellent swimmers due to webbing found on their paws. It is great to find that the Labrador breed has a very easy to groom, water resistant coat, which proves to be an added advantage for Labrador owners.

A Labrador puppy loves to socialize as much as other puppies do. Labradors can be trained very easily and quickly in order to make them well disciplined. You can easily exercise a Labrador puppy without any problems whatsoever. However it is generally advised that you keep your Labrador puppy occupied. This is because of the fact that without any activity to perform, your puppy would become highly destructive.

While it is well known fact that Labradors are not bred for the purpose of being guard dogs, but they do have this capability. It is advised that you try to learn everything about a Labrador so that you do not have any problems when your cute Labrador puppy grows up into an adult dog. The time you spend training and nurturing your dog will help you to own a healthy and happy dog.
