What Labradors are like to live with
The Royal Kennel Club calls the Labrador the "most popular of all pedigree breeds", and says that popularity comes from its "versatility as family companion, service dog, guide dog as well as a working gundog". It says the breed's roots are in Newfoundland, where dogs helped fishermen retrieve nets and lines; dogs brought back to England had their retrieving skills recognised by the sporting gentry, and the first breed club was founded in 1916.

With the rescue that has the dog. Today the Labradors on this page are with Three Counties Dog Rescue (4) and Animal Helpline (1). Open a profile and apply to that rescue: each one runs its own application, home check and adoption fee. We don't rehome animals ourselves.
How much exercise does a Labrador need?
More than two hours a day, according to The Royal Kennel Club. It lists the breed as suited to a large house with a large garden. Dogs Trust calls Labradors typically high-energy. Ask the rescue how much this dog needs, as age and health make a difference.
Do Labradors shed?
Yes. The Royal Kennel Club lists the Labrador as a breed that sheds, with a short coat that needs grooming about once a week, and Dogs Trust rates its shedding as heavy.
Are Labradors good with children?
It depends on the dog, not the breed. Most of the 5 Labradors listed in and around South Holland today don't say either way, so ask the rescue. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.
