Like any dog breed, Labs have certain qualities. Some might fit right in with your family, and others might have you looking at different options. XO PUPS prides itself in being one of the most knowledgeable establishments in breed education and, more importantly, breed selection for you and your family. To see all of our adorable [Lab puppies for sale](/puppies-for-sale/labrador-retriever/) (and many more!), just check out our available puppies page! The Labrador Retriever is a very popular dog breed and started out as a hunting dog. This breed is very loyal, intelligent and very endearing and thus a great family dog, guide dog and even for military work. Thanks to that easy going Labrador temperament, they work great with kids and families alike. You can read more in the [AKC Labrador Retriever breed profile](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/labrador-retriever/) . ### **A few awesome qualities of the Labrador temperament to keep in mind:** - Labs require minimal coat maintenance and do not need regular grooming or stripping. You might need to vacuum often though, because they tend to shed. - This breed is one of the easiest to train and that makes it ideal for families and new owners. They also like to be challenged with new commands, always with a treat as a reward! - This dog is a good watchdog and will bark if there are intruders or imminent danger. Still, it’s unlikely to scare strangers because of its soft looks. - Labradors can handle the cold or hot weather, but it needs a large space or room to move around, walk and exercise. Expect daily walks and runs with this dog. - This dog is very low maintenance and thus perfect for first time dog owners. It tends to be wonderful with children and can be very playful. It can also work well with other dogs and pets. ### Do you think that a Labrador retriever might be the right breed of dog for you and your family?

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I came in to visit to look at the puppies and options they have. They gave us a good amount of time to get to know a puppy, but we had another puppy in mind too. They did a great job with handling customers. The staff quickly wanted to know the purpose and how serious we were on buying before they gave out a second puppy, which I understand. However, we were interested but this also turned us off. The puppies were individually confined which is not great environmentally and socially for them. (My opinion, but to each their own.) Otherwise, it was not bad of an experience. I will come back. Just things to consider. We will keep them in mind for a specific breed only. Posted on Google Zahra Safavian Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience at XO with our first dog so it was a no-brainer to return when we were looking to add another puppy to our family. We had an equally great experience the second time around, and happy to find another perfect match.
