The gentle, intelligent and family friendly Labrador Retriever from Canada continues to be the most popular breed in the United States, according to AKC registration statistics.

This versatile hunting breed comes in three colors – yellow, black and chocolate – and because of his aptitude to please his master they excel as guide dogs for the blind, as part of search-and-rescue teams or in narcotics detection with law enforcement.

An ideal sporting and family dog, the Labrador Retriever thrives as part of an active family or as a trusted hunting companion. A double-coated breed which sheds seasonally, regular grooming keeps his coat at its water-resistant best. Because of his even temperament and train-ability millions of Americans own a Labrador Retriever as a pet.

Dog food allergies are the most common allergy only because there is so much irresponsible companies looking at their bottom line rather than what is good for the canine.

If your Lab has skin allergies switch foods to a higher grade dog food found in specialty markets.

You won't find these dog foods at your local pet smart or petco.
