The Labrador Retriever was first bred to retrieve the fishing nets of fishermen and to catch fish that had swam off from fishing lines in the cold waters of Newfoundland.

No, Labrador Retrievers shed a lot. If you happen to be allergic to dogs and wanted one that has a similar personality of the Labrador Retriever, I would highly recommend the Labradoodle - a Labrador and Poodle cross. These dogs had a Lab's friendly and obedient temperament and a Poodle's distinctive non-shedding coat. Labradoodles are hypoallergenic and they make excellent family pets.

How can you get your labrador retriever to fetch?

Most labradors will fetch naturally. They were bred to do it. If yours doesn't teach them how to reliably come to you, then get them excited about their favorite toy, say "fetch" or whatever command you want, throw it, then call them back to you. Only praise for a successful return of what you threw. Bare in mind that there is the occasional Labrador that does not enjoy fetching. You can make them learn how to fetch, but they will never fully enjoy it.

What is a good dog for a boy?

For a boy, specially an older one, I would NOT suggest a dog that would make them look tough, such as a pit bull. When not raised correctly these dogs can be dangerous. This is true for all dogs, but these dogs specifically since they have been bred to fight. I would suggest a Labrador or a smaller sized dog.


How often should you feed your labrador retriever?

You can pretty much feed a Labrador retriever any kind of dog food. I currently have a Labrador retriever and he eats pedigree dry dog food. You can also make a meal for your dog but you might want to get a dog book to see what you can and can't make for it. Hope this helps!
