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.

Labrador retrievers are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. The Labrador is highly trainable and is not only popular as a family dog, but also excels in hunting, tracking, retrieving, watchdog, police work, narcotics detection, guide for the blind, service dog for the disabled, search and rescue, sledding, carting, agility, field trial competition and competitive obedience.
