For the 21st consecutive year, the Labrador Retriever is the most popular purebred dog in America, according to 2011 registration statistics released by the American Kennel Club® (AKC). More than twice as many Labs were registered last year than any other breed making it a likely leader for many years to come.

Walking the Lab is a good start for daily exercise, but a stroll around the block is not enough of a daily workout. They love running, swimming and playing fetch for hours without tiring of the game and are extremely patient with children of all ages.   These dogs need to run every day in order to burn off excess energy, and if they aren’t properly exercised they will become destructive.  Labs are thrilled to accompany you on jogs or to run alongside a bicycle. Playing in the yard with children can keep them busy for hours. If land is available, take the Labs into the field to retrieve.  They can handle icy water temperatures with ease.  If you own a swimming pool, it will be difficult getting your Labrador out of the water.

If you need more reasons to consider owning a Labrador Retriever, be sure to read Ten Reasons to Own a Dog, a seven part article written by a counseling psychologist. She shows how owning a dog can help produce healthier, happier, more well adjusted children.
