The ultimate family dog, hiking companion and all around lovable four legged family member, the Lab was the number one most popular breed for many years. Here at XO PUPS, we like to think this is because the Lab has many great qualities for many types of homes, and the Labrador Retriever facts below back that up. The Lab is one of our favorite breeds for families, with many people adding more than one to their ranks. But like with any breed, the Lab needs to fit in well with your family and environment, so everybody stays happy! Because we specialize in matching the right pet with the perfect family, we like to give you as much information as possible on the dog breed you’re considering, so you can make an educated choice. So, here are some Labrador Retriever facts we put together for the Lab puppies in our store! Want to check out some pictures first? We don’t blame you! Here are our [Labrador Retriever puppies for sale](/puppies-for-sale/labrador-retriever/) , right here. ### **Check out some interesting facts about the famous Labrador Retriever:** - The Lab is actually from Newfoundland, where it got its start as a (*you guessed it!*) retriever of fowl and small game for hunters. Their short, very dense and water resistant coats helped these dogs wade into the colder waters of the North. - Labradors were officially recognized by the [AKC](https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/labrador-retriever/) in 1917 in their sporting group. The breed standard allows three colors, yellow, chocolate and black, with no additional markings. - These are large breed dogs with an average weight of 55 to 75 lbs and a lifespan of 10 to 14 years. - Because of their working dog roots, the Lab is a very active breed. This means lots of walks, playtime, and anything else you can think up daily. They work best with an active family, especially with children to help them get out all that energy! - Even though their coats are short, Labs require brushing and deshedding constantly to keep their undercoats looking nice. Those Labrador Retriever facts are a good start. Every Lab puppy at XO PUPS also gets a vet exam and a microchip, plus our [puppy warranties](/warranties-care/) . Want some one on one time?

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.
