Labrador Retriever Puppies For Sale in S. Burlington

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:

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.
