Labrador Retriever Puppies For Sale in East Providence, RI

According to registration statistics recently released by the American Kennel Club® (AKC), the Labrador Retriever is the second most popular purebred dog in the Providence, RI area.

The Labrador Retriever is the most popular dog in America for the 21st straight year. More than twice as many Labs were registered than any other breed making it a likely leader for many years to come.

In a recent article, a licensed professional counselor for more than twenty-five years, explained how owning a Lab can help produce healthier, happier, more well adjusted children. Here is an excerpt from her article:

Regular dog-walking increases social interaction for children–especially those who have just moved to a neighborhood and are feeling homesick for their former home.

A child who might not want to go out into the neighborhood alone, feels that he or she has a purpose in walking the dog, and therefore can face unfamiliar faces or places more easily than when alone.  Doing activities with a dog such as playing frisbee in the yard, or jogging, or merely walking your pooch on a leash is a great way to “break the ice” with new neighbors or other kids on the block.  It’s also a good conversation starter like: “Where’s the nearest park?”  “Do you know what the Leash Laws are?”  “Do you have a dog?”  A study by Britain’s Warwick University found that 49% of people reported making friends much easier as a result of owning a dog.  Walking the dog could be the perfect way for a shy or awkward adolescent to meet new friends in the neighborhood.

• In 1641, the Plymouth Colony purchased from the Indians a large tract of land which today includes the northern half of East Providence. Four years later, John Brown of Plymouth bought a considerably smaller piece of land from the Indians, which today comprises the southern part of East Providence. Finally, in 1661, Plymouth completed the “North Purchase.”
• Over the whole the authorities gave the name ‘Rehoboth’. The center of this large settlement, which is sometimes referred to as ‘Old Rehoboth’, is within the borders of modern East Providence. In 1812, the western half of Old Rehoboth was set off as a separate township called Seekonk, Massachusetts. Old Rehoboth’s town center now became the heart of Old Seekonk.
• Finally, in 1862, the western part of Old Seekonk was ceded to Rhode Island and incorporated as East Providence.
