Labrador Retrievers For Sale in Sterling Heights, Mich

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 country.

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:

Regular dog-walking increases social interaction for children–especially those who have just moved to a neighborhood and are feeling homesick for their former home.

A child who might not want to go out into the neighborhood alone, feels that he or she has a purpose in walking the dog, and therefore can face unfamiliar faces or places more easily than when alone.  Doing activities with a dog such as playing frisbee in the yard, or jogging, or merely walking your pooch on a leash is a great way to “break the ice” with new neighbors or other kids on the block.  It’s also a good conversation starter like: “Where’s the nearest park?”  “Do you know what the Leash Laws are?”  “Do you have a dog?”  A study by Britain’s Warwick University found that 49% of people reported making friends much easier as a result of owning a dog.  Walking the dog could be the perfect way for a shy or awkward adolescent to meet new friends in the neighborhood.
