Labrador Retrievers For Sale in Warwick, RI

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

The Labrador Retriever is the most popular 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:

Having a dog helps teach responsibility to children.

Whether they’re helping to bathe, feed, or exercise the family dog, children will learn the value of responsibility.  Caring for the dog will teach children that their pet is dependent on them for food and exercise and love. Dogs require a lot of care; they need to be fed, walked, played with and trained.  Children come to understand that dogs have to learn discipline in order to be pleasant around the family and others.  Children come to appreciate discipline by observing how important it is in their dog.  Having a dog teaches children patience, commitment and selflessness.

Caring for a dog takes a great deal of responsibility.  Children learn to be less focused on themselves and more patient with others.  Responsibility is a key factor in leadership development in children, and one of the best ways of learning responsibility is in the home with the family dog.  Being responsible for a dog teaches children valuable life lessons. The lessons that children learn from having a dog are priceless and may just help in being successful in life and in a career.
