Too young to walk, but he just keeps trying! He will make a strong Labrador Retriever puppy.

Labradors enjoy being outdoors! They simply have fun being out of the house and engaging in some playful activity. However, owners may find their yards turned upside down when they get home and often wonder why their dog had done such thing.

Let’s examine why and how digging can be stopped. Labradors would dig for several reasons: They crave attention as it needs human interaction, they are hungry and are looking for food.  They would like to go beyond their boundaries, and look for a cool and comfortable spot. Each reason would lead to the destruction of your yard as well as the dog being undisciplined.

Solutions are: make sure enough quality time is given to the dog to satisfy their need for attention, bury their food in areas and train them to dig on that spot, extending the fence into the ground to snuff out any hope of getting through and lastly, provide a cool spot where they can rest when they are left outside.

An English Labrador Retriever and an American Labrador Retrievers are sub types of the Labrador Retriever.  Both types have the same general breed characteristics but have some slight variations in looks and temperament. The English Labrador is slightly smaller in size than the American Labrador and has a more compact, thickset, stocky body with a square muzzle.  The English Labradors are often called “blockheads” to refer to their head structure.  The American Labrador Retriever, on the other hand, is taller, has a narrower body and a longer muzzle.

The coat of the English Lab is thick and dense while the coat of the American Lab is thin and coarse.  The English Lab has a calmer temperament than the American Lab that tends to have a higher energy level.  The differences between the English Lab and American Lab have developed primarily because of breeding preferences in each of the corresponding countries.  Disregarding the regional type (whether English or American), Labrador Retrievers make excellent companions, who are very devoted, loyal and are great with kids.
