Quote
from an Owner: "Most
Labradors love doing agility; it's a lot of fun and great exercise for dogs
and owners alike. Rookie (shown above) is a true versatile Labrador. He has
points in the show ring, he's a great agility dog, a wonderful hunting
companion and a star couch potato. Labradors are highly intelligent,
and training should begin as soon as you bring your puppy home. These
seven-week-old puppies are learning to sit-stay for a cookie."

Requirements: Labradors
are active dogs that love to play games like fetch. They need a
well-fenced yard with room to run. Weekly or bi-weekly brushing will
help to control moderate shedding. |
| Temperament:
Labradors
are friendly, happy, people-oriented dogs. They make good family
pets and are good with children. Labradors will probably bark if a
stranger approaches the home, but they are not aggressive guard
dogs. |
