Labradors are great with kids. The more the child screamed, the more my dog licked. Beauty at that age did not realize that knocking a child down was unacceptable. Labradors love their owners, so they won't wander . Yikes, what a scary misconception.
Labs are notorious for wandering their neighborhoods.
Another who would wander for miles if given the opportunity. Labradors are a clean dog. Not really true. While their coat makes them naturally able to clean themselves, their love of water and MUD make them a rather messy dog. You can't bathe them every time they get dirty, or their hair would eventually fall out from dry skin.
