Labrador Retrievers For Sale in Stamford, Connecticut

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

The Labrador Retriever is also 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 can help children grow stronger.

Just by being a part of the family, dogs can help contribute to keeping your children healthier.  According to Science Daily, kids who grow up with dogs have fewer allergies and are less likely to have eczema than other children.  They grow up with higher levels of certain immune system supporters that keep them in better shape as they get older.  School systems report that children from homes with dogs also have fewer sick days during the school year.  Another benefit in this area of physical strength is that kids who play with dogs can take  falling down and rough and tumble play much better.
