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 Ashbourne Animal Welfare (2), Windyway Animal Rescue (1) and Yappy Ever After Dog Rescue (1).

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. Today the rescues mark 2 of the 4 Labradors listed in and around Stoke-on-Trent as able to live with children. Where a profile says nothing, ask the rescue what age of children the dog could live with.

Can I get a free Labrador to a good home in Stoke-on-Trent, or one under £500?

Usually not. UK rescues normally ask for an adoption fee, which pays towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations.

Many rescue fees are under £500: Dogs Trust charges £300, and Blue Cross from £235 for dogs aged 8 or over. An animal offered "free to a good home" is usually a private advert rather than a rescue. All dogs in the UK must be microchipped by 8 weeks old, and in England, Wales and Scotland a dog can't pass to a new keeper until it is chipped, so ask to see the microchip details.
