I have two Labrador retriever. I can assure you that Labrador retriever is a good and intelligent dog. Very playful, they love the water. So no problem with taking them bath. They are harmful to children, they life playing. But they don't easily get irritated even th child is beside them. I proven this because my 3 years old nephew always play with my 3 years old Labrador. Imagine my Labrador is bigger than my nephew. So you can keep any pet, that's all I can say about Labrador. They are the one of the top intelligent dogs.Keep on posting!

My dog was a mix of Lab,chow and husky. I got him when he was 6 weeks old. I had him for 15 years before i had to put him to sleep he got displacia in his hips so bad he could not move. He was a very smart dog, never bit anyone.. the best pet i ever owned

I had a Black Labrador retriever when I was little. They love to play and snuggle up to you when you sit down. My mohter told a funny story about ours once. She had just brought Beatrice home, and I was playing in my diaper, and when Mama put her down, she came over to me and knocked me on my bottom, and I started bawling. I didn't know what to think of her the first time. They are great dogs to have for pets!

Hi friend, I have had a couple of labradors in my past when my children were younger. I absolutely loved these dogs. They are wonderful with children, especially if they are raised together. Great dogs. Cheryl

labrador retriever is a kind of dog that is love his master but don\t provoke him/her when eating beacause labrador wants to concentrate when eating and labrador retriever can protect you from stranger if he/she knows that person is safe or not that all. . lol

I would just be cautious around this type of dog.. I will not let my guard down when I am around them. That is for sure. But, I will show them all the love that I possibly can..
