Labrador Retriever Information
Labrador Retriever Description:The Labrador Retriever is generally considered as the most popular breed in the world. Labs are originally from Newfoundland (Canada) where they were used to help fishermen to catch fish even from icy water. In nineteenth century they were brought to England and for many years the breed was kept pure. Then in the late nineteenth century this breed was crossed with other breeds to improve their hunting ability. Very quickly Labrador Retriever has gained its popularity as Sporting Dog and now has become the most popular dog in the world. The breed was first recognized by the AKC in 1917. |
Labrador Retriever Care & Grooming:The Labrador puppy should not be brought to home before they are 8 weeks old. This breed sheds seasonally. Its short and thick coat is easy to maintain. Brushing its coat 2-3 times in a week with a firm bristle brush and almost daily brushing during shedding season, and also rubbing its body with a damp towel once in a week are sufficient to maintain a healthy looking coat. It should be bathed only when necessary using a mild shampoo and must be dried properly after each bath. Regular trimming of the nails is advised to avoid any injury. Its eyes and ears should be cleaned properly to avoid any infection. |
Labrador Retriever Health Problems:The Labrador Retriever is a healthy breed with relatively few major problems. They are somewhat prone to hip and elbow dysplasia. Sometimes they suffer from eye and knee problems. Problems like diabetes and osteoarthritis are common in case of older and overweight Labs. Some young adult Labradors tend to suffer from exercise induced collapse (EIC) which causes weakness followed by collapse after 5 to 20 minutes of rigorous exercise. |
