Labrador Retriever Ranked Top Dog

According to the registration statistics compiled by the American Kennel Club, the Labrador Retriever is the most popular pure bred dog in the three largest cities in California: San Diego, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

In a recent press release, the American Kennel Club® (AKC) announced the Labrador retriever is, once again, the most popular purebred dog in the country. “Labrador Retriever lovers have again spoken – the playful, family friendly breed remains the number one most popular breed in the U.S. for the 22nd consecutive year, tying with the Poodle for the longest reign in the top spot.” Read the rest of their article here.

“Bigger breeds are making their move,” said AKC Spokesperson Lisa Peterson.” The popularity of the pint-sized, portable pooch just gave way to a litter of larger breeds in the Top 10. These predictable, durable, steady breeds, like Labs and Goldens, are great with kids and offer the whole family more dog to love.” More than twice as many Labs were registered than any other breed making it a likely leader for many years to come.

Labrador Retriever Puppies and Children

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

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.
