- Labrador Retriever Pros & Cons.
Labrador retrievers are the most popular dog breed in the United States. There are numerous reasons for the desire to have one at home, ranging from their friendly nature and outgoing attitude to their willingness to try almost anything.
When you have this breed at home, there will be plenty of affection to go around for everyone.
They are a larger dog, but by no means unmanageable at 70-80 pounds for most individuals. Many of them live to be 10-12 years of age, although some individuals can live for up to 20 years.
Spaying or neutering will help to encourage longevity and reduce the risk of unwanted offspring.
The build of the Labrador retriever is one that speaks of balance and strength. There are three coat colors from which to choose: black, chocolate, and yellow.
They have a wide head, eyes that sparkle with mischief, and a tail that always seems to be wagging in happiness.
If you are thinking about the inclusion of a puppy in your home soon, then these are the pros and cons of adding a Labrador retriever into the mix.

It's really cool that a couple of the dogs, of the many, you showed were actually Labs
As my neighbor said, "[our lab] would hold a flashlight for a burglar."
yes kinda true mine becomes friends with every damn person
My chocolate did the same, loved all people. She made it 13.5, a great dog. We are picking up red lab tomorrow, we named her Ruby…. 8.5 weeks old… let the fun begin
I lost my Lab to cancer June 10, 2020. He had just turned 10 years old. I think about him everyday, the grieving has been terrible. Labradors are truly Angels.
I remember my yellow lab playing with a neighbors 2 old chocolate labs. They died around the same time also to cancer. It’s a odd coincidence.
Lol
Perfectly understandable that you would still grieve over the loss of a beloved dog. I euthanized my lab a month ago, because declining fast (he was 16). He had very little quality of life left, and I didn't want him to suffer. One of the hardest things I've ever had to do.
@@Plisken65 So sorry for your loss. Yes you will absolutely reunite with her one day my friend.
@@carolr4871 very sorry for your loss. Next month will be 2 months my baby departed and I am still hurting. I been told to get another fur baby......I`m far from being ready.......
There is a lot of Golden retrievers in this video🤣
@@uptownsquirrel1846 that’s his point ?
Clearly a comment was deleted...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I going to say half of the dogs in the video were golden retrievers :))
Yeah, even some of the points discussed seem to be about Golden Retrievers more than Labradors, like the shedding one that literally shows clumps of long hair that Labs don't have. 🤣
I’ve had 4 labs in my lifetime and every single one of them were excellent guard dogs. Never trained them to do so, they just naturally were like that I guess.
One has even protected my family in one instance out of pure instinct.
Labs for the win
I would love to hear the story?
Dude same
As a Labrador owner, THERE ARE NO CONS 😂
I’m getting mine in a month. She will be 4 months. I can not wait 🙌
I’m getting mine on July 3rd he is 8 weeks I’m so excited
Because of their addiction to food and strong odours, males tend to be little piggies too ...
I was going to post the same comment. They are perfect.
My ded dog :(
Got my new lab three weeks ago, she's my third lab. Coco has wrecked me and my house and I absolutely love her. I'll get her right
th-cam.com/video/GVKsL6MMnjA/w-d-xo.html
Correction, she's a Lab. She'll train you. Just a matter of how quickly you catch on.
My labs mom is named coco
@@karguy1720 Q
I have a Labrador and he is the most loyal and fun loving dog I've ever seen ♥️♥️♥️
He can fit with strangers if they offer him a biscuit or something 😹 i had Labrador , now Pocket American bully are best , they are best guard dog and lap dogs
My yellow lab passed on her 14th birthday. she was a wonderful pup.
i m sorry to hear that...feel better bro
So sorry for your loss ❤️
@@christinechunvongduan3565 thank you, she was a very good pup.
This breaks my heart 💔
I am so sorry for your loss 🙏🏼
Labradors the most charming friend you’ll ever have.
I fostered a lab/staff puppy. Such a sweetheart, so smart, so obedient, so much potential ❤️ will never forget her.
I'm about to foster a lab too which is why I'm watching this video!
My lab mix is 14 years old. Very good dog, loyal and well behaved. She sheds a lot and begs for food but that seems to be most labs.
2006, I remember it like yesterday. Storm was such a happy dog, as a puppy she was so friendly and dopey, she could not make an enemy if she wanted to. So out going and full of energy.
She loved going to the park. She would run around for hours chasing sticks, squirrels, cats, and anything that moved, she loved swimming to.
She passed away 5 years ago. I still miss her every single day
She’s happy wherever she is. God bless her ..
@@abhirupmukherjee3452 Your stupid God doesn't do anything for pets who are not longer with us! Our Allfather ODIN keeps them before the rainbow bridge. Where they are healthy again! And keep playing and having all the food they need until we die and being reunited with our pets. So we walk the rainbow bridge together into Valhalla!
Labs are great, just got a 4 month old one. However she is absolutley addicted to food she will literally eat anything, she is ridiculously smart.
Is there really a con to owning a lab. A partner in anything you choose, adventure in the mountains, ready to go. Beaches, yup, sign em up. A walk in the park, hold up, let me get my leash. A vacuum cleaned under the baby's high chair never fails. Expressions, they have so many cute ones, can't help but smile. I love my Sadie so much, the best dog ever.
When I was born my grand dad bought me a lab puppy. I have had lab ever since, now 65 years. Best friends EVER.
my lab found the bathroom and discovered the bath tub and decided to climb in! ahahha
I hate people who cut tails. Can't even say it's for hunting because I've been hunting for 30 years with labs and the tail is never a problem
for real its just so bad it shouldn't be allowed!!
Yea the doctors don't cut your arm off at birth so why chop a pups tail.
Ikr! Not on a Lab!!
Lab is water dog and water dog needs his tail for working. Neither is Lab's tail prone to injuries.
My Lab puppy’s tail got shortened by a door at 4 months old
I have a black lab and he’s amazing :)
I have a lab but recently we had to give her away. Normally you would hear that dogs are something that will be with you and is a shining ball of light and so was my dog but as irresponsible as I am I couldn't properly take care of her. I didn't get the positive mindset after I got her I was already depressed so I mostly spent alot of time inside my room hoping not to be social. My dad took care of her in the mean time but due to lack of training she was mischevious and sometimes out of control (I belive this happened most likely because she was still a puppy and puppies do have a huge amount of energy). After we gave her I got the chance to see her again she was all healthy and well. But she seemed more happy to see my dad and I understand why after how much times I asked for a dog I couldn't take care of myself and when I got one it was difficult. Till this day I still think how irresponsible I was to a living creature who was given to me I miss her and I hope I can get my mental health and physcial health in my control. At first glance having a pet is easy but take a deep thought on your lifestyle and how much you can handle with one.
Wow this is really helpful. Hopefully you get better soon and I wish you luck.
@@imnotworthy3562 It's good to know this helped you and thank you very much.Best of luck to you too if you're getting a pet.
I hope your mind clears and you’re able to have a loving companion to do things with! ❤️ you Can go out with your dog without interacting with others, it’s what I do!!
@@chelseaaguilar2525 Thank you for the positive words but sadly she died and I was not properly informed of the date and month. Well I hope you and your little friend have a great time together!
Still miss Maggie, my family's golden lab from 1988 to 1999. Beautiful and good natured dog.
he's a GOOD BOY!
*goob boy
By some weird work of fate, me and my wife ended up with one of these puppies a day or two ago. Me and my wife are seriously considering keeping him. I’m glad to know this breed is good with kids.
Hope you do, he’ll be your best friend forever
Absolutely lots of Love coming your way love him always never let him down ,you well see what a great boy he is has years go by ,&remember he well grown out of the naught bit after a few years ,enjoy him 🇦🇺♥️♥️♥️
Man these dogs are just the best you won’t regret ever having one in your life
I Love My Labrador Retriever Pongo. He is a such good friend. Only his never ending hunger is sometimes a little bit complicated :D
My yellow is 8 years old now. She is the best dog that we have ever owned. They are all natured a little bit different. Our dog is a great watch dog. If anyone comes on our farm that shouldn't be here, they will have to deal with her and it won't be pretty. The only "con" that I know of is that the shedding is out of control!
I’ve been waiting for this video keep doing what your doing ❤️❤️
Our lab is also our guard dog and she’s great with it!!! ❤️ she loves to eat and at one point became obese. Haha 😆 now she is fit after the vet suggested her diet. Love her so much.
Long live my beautiful Samantha Fox, she would be 20 years old now, and I still miss her❤️
The fact that Labrador Retrievers are still the number 1 dog breed in the USA is reassuring for humanity.
Now it’s French bulldogs and our country is officially doomed
@@Nonviableaccount ouch I guess so. We'll know society has officially collapsed when the number one dog is the Pitbull
I’ve had a lab in my life since 1996. They are the greatest dog in the world!! But, the shed like crazy, they CHEW everything, the EAT everything, and they are as strong as oxen (so keep that in mind when walking), and they are HIGH energy. I love all this things but it’s not for everyone
Add the cost of a lab what you are going to spend in replacing shoes, clothes, sofas, rugs, sport equipment, items that are swept off the coffee table from their wagging tail…
And they are extremely smart, but do dumb things
Just fyi, I now have a 10 month lab puppy (so a lot of this is puppy behavior… I hope). But for anyone else looking on info on this puppies, I’ll tell you something literally no one tells you about the breed because they like to glorify them (I agree. They are great. But hear me out).
These dogs, or mine at least, are EXTREMELY energetic. Playing fetch for half an hour a day qon’t cut it. Our lab goes on a minimum hour long walk every morning, gets back, plays fetch for a while and then starts to settle down. He doesn’t really fall asleep again until about noon or so. After that he wakes up sporadically, and is VERY attached to the family. Like seriously, we leave him alone in the kitchen because otherwise it’s impossible to work with him roaming the house and gettung into mischief, or even worse just him literally trying ti be on top of you because he wants cuddles or more playtime.
We also decently frequently give him another hour or two walk in the afternoon, at about five which is when he gets antsy again. If we don’t, wemost definitely have to play fetch and tug of war with him at around 6 or 7 for quite a while because otherwise he just becomes unbearable.
Oh, and they are addicted to food. We have not yet found a way to not get him to climb on us and try to sniff our plate while we eat, and that is kind of annoying. You might think close the door and don’t let him near? Well no, you absolutely cannot do fun or food related activities without your lab in the same room because he just goes insane. And their bark is QUITE powerful and unoleasant to listen to.
These are just the things that happen to me that I saw literally no one on youtube or forums talk about. I love my lab to pieces and he is great, mind you, but I tried to focus a bit on the negatives here.
It’s all about training if you dont train them youn when they are a few months old they will developers bad habits like this so it is not the dogs fault in your case its the lack of training playing isnt the only thing
@@martozoneast1098 sorry but that is not the case. We trained him since the day we got him home, and when we realized our admittedly limited knowledge wasn’t enough, we started going to puppy classes. We still train him at home.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It is my dream to own a brown lab, but I can't at this stage in my life because they indeed need a lot of exercise and attention. People have to know their limits before bringing a dog into their lives. You sound like you were well informed, but still, you can never be fully prepared I think.
Ty
Very informative. Everything has pros and cons, but nice you included them both here. Thx for sharing. 🐕🦺
All this points are so spot-on. I can tick all the boxes mentioned with my Lucy at home.
Wow what an amazing video - thanks so much for sharing. Thee were a few things I didn't know about labradors!
Really miss my labby. I put her down April of this year after a very strong seizure left her paralyzed. Very sudden. We found out she ended up bleeding in the brain. It just feels so empty in here. I kept her as my house pet after she retired from being my guide dog.
Had to put my chocolate lab down in March, he had breathing difficulties. He was only 9, I miss him so much. RIP Shadow
I had to euthanize my 16-yr-old lab in March. He was the sweetest, loveliest boy. Cherish the memories.
She is free or her bodily ailments now as her spirit & soul are free and still intertwined with yours! 🥰💞👍
Very happy that my Labrador is definitely healthy and pretty even in her reaction to things. I love the fact that she’s willing to do almost anything at least try it once. Lol
My lab didn't like the puppy training and she hated to fetch. I wanted to go to shows with her and the hunting game. I realised she was just the nicest dog ever and forgot about what I wanted to do with her. She was still the best dog ever for me. When a friend who was afraid of dogs got in our home he threw a ball so he would get rid of her. And she brought it back. Over and over again. He isn't afraid of dogs anymore. And my dog never quit playing fetch! She loved it. She is now waiting for me before the rainbow bridge. I truly never loved an animal so much! I really miss her!
I have a black lab and she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me🥰
I miss my baby boy he just turn 5 when he’s gone 2 wks ago and left me all along I miss him so badly
Got my black lab for free and he is an absolute goofball he has plenty of scooby moments
I have black, He turned 1 this year June 17
You got to love retrievers!
Zero cons best dogs ever
Lost my Lab Lucy age 9. Still hurts but got my new puppy now, a relative of luce. Start all over
I’m sorry
I hope you are fulfilled w your new dog :)
@@normanjime5560 thanks
When I was 19 on my sophomore year, my two college roommates were brothers from New Jersey who brought their 9 year old black Lab along with them. After a few days, she decided she liked me best. Would be beside me, hip to hip, when I sat on the floor to watch TV and would constantly shift her body to make sure she was as close to me as possible. Kind of embarrassing for the two guys who'd raised her from a puppy, lol.
Mine puts me to bed 9:30 PM and wakes me 5:00 AM every day. That annoys me on week-ends but he don't care. I have no idea how he can tell time. He also knows every thing my wife and I discuss but sometimes he pretends "Hey I'm a dog"
I really don’t think you could fault these dogs I’ve had two labs one for 14 years,one for 15 years I was lucky we live near the beach also plenty of walking places.I miss my Labrador’s so very much and after years I still get very emotional for their company adore these dogs.
Thank God for dogs!!
Just perfect.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow i love labrador dog
They’re always smiling)))
Just say Labrador and you will see tears in these eyes.
They like to chew? That’s an understatement
Have my fourth golden/fox red Labrador all boys I love love love the labs no other breed for me they all got on so well with the cats too this boy has just become the father of 9pupies and I am getting one of them so thanks for reminding me of the pros and cons 🐕🐕
Can confirm the wagging end can be deadly all of our car dents are from our old lab excited greeting and whipping the doors with the excited tail wagging
Some unknown facts about Labradors: 1) in the womb, they form as just a stomach first. The rest of the dog forms around the stomach. 2) The tail is a separate sentient being and should have its own name. 3) If your Lab doesn't eat it...neither should you!
My first dog (got her 3 years ago) is an "English" Lab. (I know the breed is just Labrador Retriever) She is 90 lbs of the sweetest creature you could ask for. But they are a little bit of work. A good Lab is a tired Lab. Get them exercise and they are awesome.
We got ours free he is so playful for a 2 year old he is so fun and we trained him fast
Wow beautiful
I have had 4 labs there is no downside! These are the best babies you could ever want!
I’ve had 5 of them... I’m a lab guy !!!
One of the yellow dogs looks much more like a Golden Retriever than any Labrador I’ve seen in Australia
Picked up a lab pit mix for $5 at the shelter and at 15 weeks she’s the best pup for my toddlers. I cannot invoke any aggressive behavior even when playing rough
There's no negative points about a Labador. Once you have had one. Their full of love
My doggy was one I miss her soo much I would do anything to get her back
Me too. 💔
Likewise
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
No cons whatsoever except for a lot of hair and they love tennis balls 🎾 . I’ve had labs all my life and they’re the best dogs which is why they re the most popular . They’re absolutely loyal and won’t wander far from their owners and I can’t say enough good about this breed .
Beautiful dog! They want to please you!
I am confused if this is a labrador video or golden retriever video!
Same dog longer hair . Golden Labrador retriever is the correct name
I’ve got a weird one. He is also a guard dog an has goood instincts outside seeing “off” people
My Labrador was black and she didnt allow anyone in our home. She was the best guard dog, because i could shove my hand in her mouth and she didn't care.
She was my best friend and she was my sister.
Rest in peace Nala
The con is that there is no con 🥰
I have a golden lab and a fix red puppy they’re the best
Biting and chewing they sure do love my young lab at least
Silver too
My Labrador retriever is very active and for some reason he bites me and my fam.....so I need help and suggestions if I should send my Lab (Lucas) for training
Encountering a well socialized, leashed, properly trained Labrador is not an easy feat.
I thought you weren't supposed to have your puppy around other dogs out of its family for the first 4 months or until the 2nd round of vaccination kicks in. How would you suggest socialising then between 2 and 4 months? Want to get one but so many questions!
We adopted one 3 weeks ago he is very playful loves the family and it's only a puppy. It is a very emotional it loves being around the family and it learns quickly to pee and poop outside I would reccomend this breed for anyone.
Any potty training tips please and thank you very much I’d love the help
This is in my top favorite dogs, tied for number 1 with Rottweiler
Surrounded by Zazus everywhere :O That would be nice
Her voice is really soothing to hear 😊
Tuesday 12-6-22
Our Lovable Bruno came into Mine and My Families ❤ & Life . God almighty has Blessed words you can ever imagine .
Fun Loving , Adorable
My late Mom who lived to be 90 years old . Playing with him at her request and her last words to him prior before her last Sunday of her life .
I love You Bruno ,
Priceless .
So yes Yellow Labradors are the most sought of loyal , loving - etc etc
My advice get one .
Enjoy ! Bruno’s Dad
❤️❤️😘
The head really depends on what kind of lab it is. If it's an English Lab they have more blocky heads than American ones
European dobbies are thicker w more square heads. Utility dogs.
American dobbies long slender body and head. Show dogs.
I have a chocolate lab , he is very energetic but very sweet
Help, I have a question.
What should the water temperature be for swimming?
Well they are always really happy on the beach water so I guess whatever that temperature is
3:18 "this breed loves water"
We literally showered our Labrador and she then cried the whole night
I have 2 Labradors male and female my male just passed away on March 24 due to parvo Yoko was really a good boy. Luckily i have my female Labrador left she also got infected with parvo but she survived.
R they guard dogs as well?
do redfox labs fall under yellow?
Tell me about it the shedding insane
I live in a small apartment by myself, I'm fine with exercising my dog in the morning and at night, and I'd like my dog to be easy to train. I want a buddy more than a protection dog. So although they're quite different, but I've narrowed it down to Labs or Chow Chows. Which one would be better for me?
lab this video convinced me
My lab followed me everywhere even in the house. Felt crowded in a 2 bedroom house with him. The chow might be a better choice if your apartment is on the smaller size.
If you live in a apartment better to get a beagle because labs need lot of excercise!!
Man don't rush into it. Labs are cool but they are demonic they will ruin your apartment
Chows are horrible. Get a Shiba Inu if you don’t have the time to exercise a Lab
I have a German shepherd-Black Lab mix...he’s not quite a year old and he’s super hyper. It’s pretty cute when you are doing something tho...if you are outside carrying wood, he will try to get some too. If you are digging, he will dig too. He’s a good boy, but he’s super energetic and we don’t have much space 😂 he’s also kind of a b!tch...when he was around my family’s other dogs he literally laid on his back and just let them sniff him. When they were playing fetch we used just one large branch do the dogs had to “compete” for it...he didn’t get it. He is also shedding like crazy rn since it’s spring time so we have to sweep twice a day just to avoid stepping in a clump of hair.
We try to give him an hour or more per day of play time (outside) but it’s hard because we don’t have much space or much time to take him to a dog park considering we don’t have any good ones near us.
When it comes to guard dogs I don't need aggression I just need the dog to bark. I provide the 12 guage aggression.
There are many golden retrievers in the video. Though both are friendly dogs with similar natures still they are two different breeds.
My labra is mix of doberman and labra, I got complete package family dog with 50 percent of doberman attitude, but cute and childish like labra.
Cute !
yes everything (including biting like my dog)
Debating getting a brown lab- not sure if he will be okay in an apartment with a cat, but I’ll get him out at least 2 hours a day so it may be okay
I have a Labrador retriever about 3 months and I kept him for few hours with a chain then i unlock the chain after that he bite me in the hand , what's that problem , please reply...
he doesn’t like you lmfao
We are going to look at a 5 year old lab on Thursday.🐩🐩🐕🐕💐💐🐓🐓
Haha. Yes playing fetch is a must for Labrador retrievers and they ll bring it back every time unlike other breeds who like to play I have the ball now come and get it . If there is water around you can be sure the lab will jump in when you turn your head . All u will hear is splash .
There are no cons when it comes to Labs!
My Labrador barks at new people for 3-6 minutes then is wary then he is perfectly fine
