About Labrador Retrievers

The Labrador Retriever was bred to be both a friendly companion and a useful working dog breed.

History of the Labrador Retriever

The Labrador Retriever earned their keep as fishermen’s helpers: hauling nets, fetching ropes, and retrieving fish.

Labrador Retriever Today

Today’s Lab is as good-natured and hardworking as their ancestors, and they’re also one of the 10 most popular breeds in the East of England. Modern Labs work as retrievers for the shooting community, great dogs for the blind,  and fantastic search and rescue dogs.

A friendly, gentle temperament means it is unsuited to being a professional guard dog, but a fantastic family dog.
