The Labrador Retriever or simply Labrador is a British
breed of retriever gun dog. It was developed in the United Kingdom
from St. John's water dogs imported from the colony of Newfoundland,
and was named after the Labrador region of that colony.
The sweet-faced, lovable Labrador Retriever is one of America's most
popular dog breeds, year after year. Labs are friendly, outgoing, and
high-spirited companions who have more than enough affection to go
around for a family looking for a medium-to-large dog.
