Most Labs love children, but pups are bouncy, so adult supervision is essential. If you're looking for a sturdy, optimistic companion, you couldn't find a better buddy than a Lab. Labs enjoy outings and car rides, especially if the destination is a lake or trail and the baggage, a picnic basket. They do best if they are part of the family and do poorly if isolated. You will need the right tools for grooming, exercise, and training.
Labs love to fetch anything they can carry.
The floating Kong Dog Toy is great for both water and land retrieving. If you're too busy to throw things, a Lab will fetch anyway. I keep my purse out of reach or she'll swipe my wallet. Play and work are the same to a Lab. Interesting daily activity is necessary to prevent boredom.
