     Have a look at our 5 amazing facts about                            Labradors.

 1) Labrador did not come from the area of Labrador.

Actually the name Labrador is a bit misleading. Like German shepherds originated from Germany, many people think that the Labradors came from the area of Labrador.

But they actually originated in Newfoundland in the 1500s. They used to live only in Newfoundland until they were brought to England during the early 1800s.

2) All 3 colors in the same litter.

     It can be very exciting to wait to see the color of the Labrador puppies being born in the litter. Actually, you can get all the 3 colored puppies in the same litter. The color of the puppies in the litter purely depends upon the color coat genetics.

3) Not every lab loves water.

 This is another fact many people are not aware of. Whenever you think of a Labrador, you might imagine it to be playing in the water. But this is not the case with respect to every Labrador.

 My friends first Labrador "Rocky" hates to play in the       water.

4) Labs were friends of the fisherman.

   Every breed was bred for a particular purpose and utility. In the same way, the ancestors of our Labradors used to help the fishermen of the Newfoundland in retrieving fish and pulling the nets. Their traits such as temperament, water repellent short coat and great swimming ability helped them to do their job perfectly.

 5) Labradors have webbed toes.

         Many animals and birds such as frogs and ducks have webbed feet. This kind of webbed feet aids them in their movement. 

Similarly, a Labrador has webbed toes. You can notice the shape of these webbed toes especially while bathing your dog. These webbed toes are one of the reasons for your Lab’s good swimming abilities.
