Whether to adopt or buy a Labrador Retriever hinges on your personal preferences, lifestyle, and the values you hold. If you prioritize having a dog with a known pedigree, predictable temperament, and a health guarantee, buying from a reputable breeder might be the best option for you. On the other hand, if you are looking to give a home to a dog in need and want to foster before making a final decision, adopting is a better choice.
