History

The Labrador Retriever is a type of gun dog originating from the United Kingdom. The breed was developed from cross-breeding of the St. John's water dog with the Newfoundland. The Labrador Retriever is the most popular breed of dog in the United States, and is also popular in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

The Labrador Retriever was originally bred as a working dog to help fishermen with retrieving fish that had been caught in nets. The breed quickly became popular with hunters as well, due to their retrieving abilities and their love of water.

In 1887, the first Labrador Retriever was registered with the Kennel Club in England. In 1903, the American Kennel Club followed suit and recognized the Labrador Retriever as a breed.

The popularity of the Labrador Retriever as a pet began to increase in the 1920s, thanks in part to their reputation as being an excellent family dog. They were also used extensively in advertising campaigns for various products.

During World War II, many Labradors were used as working dogs by both sides of the conflict. After the war ended, their popularity as pets continued to grow.

Today, Labradors are still used as working dogs in many different fields, including search and rescue, drug detection, assistance for people with disabilities, and even therapy work. They are also still very popular as family pets thanks to their gentle nature and loyalty.
