Labrador Retriever Puppies For Sale in Las Cruces

Interested in Labrador Retriever puppies for sale in Las Cruces?  You’re making a great choice!  

According to registration statistics recently released by the American Kennel Club® (AKC), the Labrador Retriever is the most popular purebred 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:

The ten reasons that I am giving for children to have a dog are not listed in order of importance. All of us have different characteristics which we find more important than others. Every reason I list, however, is important to the childhood of your son or daughter.

Dogs help children to be more physically fit.

All dogs, regardless of breed, need to be walked.  Children who take their dogs for regularly scheduled walks tend to exercise more than those who have no reason to get up off the couch and leave the TV.  The Journal of Physical Activity and  Health (2010) concluded that people who walk their dogs generally walk about an hour longer per day than non-dog walkers.  In this age where over one-third of children and adolescents in the United States are overweight or obese, exercise is no longer merely a choice of leisure activity, it is a necessity (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2008).  What more pleasurable way for a child to exercise than to run and play with an adored dog?  All dogs need exercise regardless of size, so children include dogs when they are running or playing casually–not just on regularly scheduled walks.

One of the reasons that I suggest retrievers when parents ask about what kind of dog is best is simply the name.  Of course, I grew up with retrievers and I love them, but even more than other dogs, they love to play ball.  If you’ll throw it, they’ll retrieve it.  The glorious thing about this fact is that they never seem to tire of the “game.”  Even babies get excited and laugh and clap their hands when the dog runs after the ball and brings it back.

Did you know…

• The area where Las Cruces rose was previously inhabited by the Manso people, with the Mescalero Apache living nearby. The area was later colonized by the Spanish beginning in 1598, when Juan de Oñate claimed all territory north of the Rio Grande for New Spain and later became the first governor of the Spanish territory of New Mexico.
• The area remained under New Spain’s control until September 28, 1821 when the first Mexican Empire claimed ownership. The area was also claimed by the Republic of Texas during this time until the end of the Mexican-American War in 1846–48. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848 established the United States as owner of this territory and Las Cruces was founded in 1849 when the US Army laid out the town plans.
