- Labrador Retriever
Labrador Retrievers or ‘Labs’ as they are popularly called, are sturdy, solidly built and family friendly dogs and are incredibly popular with Indians for their endearing nature, ease of training and that adorable puppy look they carry well in to their adulthood. A lab puppy will grow in to a full adult within 12 months of birth growing as tall as 32 inches (thus classified as medium-sized dogs) and weigh between 25-34 Kgs ( 55-75 Lbs) and may continue to add weight till 2 years of age. Labs are great family dogs who are protective about their family but welcoming to strangers. Labs requires a good 40-50 minutes of exercise everyday to prevent obesity and therefore serve as great companions for a family with kids.
