BREED HISTORY:

In the early 1800’s there were reports of some sort of water dogs, which were “admirably” trained to retrieve for bird hunters. They also seemed to be “otherwise useful”. These great dogs were found in Newfoundland and British sportsmen recognized them as being excellent gundogs and imported them to Britain. Labradors are now known as excellent family dogs and have a reliable temperament. They are beautiful and among the easiest to care for when it comes to grooming. They are well-proportioned, active and powerful. They also have a reputation for being affectionate family dogs that are good with children. They are intelligent, obedient, friendly, and loyal. They have excellent hunting instincts and love the water. The Labrador Retriever is the most popular dogs in the USA.

NUTRITION:

Feed your puppy a quality dry dog food and always have lots of fresh water available. You will need to decide whether to use a “scheduled” or “open” feeding regime. “Scheduled” feeding routines wherein the puppy/dog is fed at certain times of the day.   

“Open” feeding is having the food continuously available in some type of feeder. Puppies, which are started this way, will eat only when actually hungry and seldom overeat.

TRAINING:
Establish rapport immediately with frequent short play sessions.  Try to “catch your puppy doing something right” and reward with praise. Bring your puppy into the house often. Remember that after he/she wakes up, he/she will usually go poo/pee. If you take the pup to the place where you want him/her to go, he/she will eventually want to go there. Dogs are creatures of habit. Be consistent and they will develop the habits you desire.

Please keep in touch with us and let us know how you and your puppy are doing. We would like to receive email and photographs of your puppy as he/she grows, and would be interested in posting your comments on-line. Feel free to call with questions or concerns.

I have read and understand this health guarantee and agree to abide by all that it states.
