Labrador Retriever Puppies

Labrador Retriever puppies are the most popular AKC breed as they are intelligent, friendly, playful, athletic and family-oriented.  While great adult pets, lab puppies need to be taught early to inhibit their biting instinct.  Labradors, with their webbed paws, otter-like tail and waterproof coat are powerful swimmers and love to swim.  Labrador Retrievers are most commonly black but also come in yellow and chocolate varieties.  Adult labs can grow to between 21 and 24 inches high and weigh between 55 and 75 pounds.  Labrador Retrievers need plenty of exercise and ideally a yard to play in but can be indoor pets if they are regularly taken outside for a brisk walk or run.  Labs also need plenty of companionship as they love to be around people and play.  Thus, owners need to be able to dedicate ample time to their pet.  Common health problems for Labs are hip, elbow and eye complications.  If overfed, they are prone to weight problems.  Labradors need occasional grooming but do not shed excessively.  The following videos illustrate several examples of Labrador puppies (labrador retriever puppies).
