We've got 3 labrador retreivers, we've found them on a dutch site called : Marktplaats.nl
It's a place where you can sell used goods/stuff (and animals)
It's a shame people don't think before they buy dogs...
Ich erwarte keine Kommentare für diese Bilder - sie dienem einen externen Link für die Frauchen und Herrchen dieser Hunde.

I spent three summers working with the Geological Survey in Central Labrador, NF, Canada doing till geochemistry / drift prospecting research. What a wonderful experience.
From Wikipedia, three excerpts:
Labrador is the distinct, northerly region of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It comprises the mainland portion of the province, separated from the island of Newfoundland by the Strait of Belle Isle. It is the largest and northernmost geographical region in Atlantic Canada.
Labrador occupies the eastern part of the Labrador Peninsula, in an area slightly larger than the US state of Colorado. It is bordered to the west and the south by the Canadian province of Quebec. Labrador also shares a small land border with the Canadian territory of Nunavut on Killiniq Island.
Though Labrador's area is over twice that of the island of Newfoundland, it has only 6% of the province's population. The aboriginal peoples of Labrador include the Northern Inuit of Nunatsiavut, the Southern Inuit-métis of Nunatukavut (NunatuKavut), and the Innu. The non-aboriginal population in Labrador did not permanently settle in Labrador until the natural resource developments of the 1940s and 1950s. Before the 1950s, very few non-aboriginal people lived in Labrador year round. The few European immigrants who worked seasonally for foreign merchants and brought their families were known as Settlers.
The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) (French: Commission Géologique du Canada (CGC)) is part of the Earth Sciences Sector of Natural Resources Canada. GSC is responsible for performing geologic surveys of the country, developing Canada's natural resources and protecting the environment. The GSC is the country's oldest scientific agency and one of its first government organizations.

During the last major glaciation, the Wisconsin, ice sheets covered most of Canada. These ice sheets scoured large areas of bedrock and transported this scoured material in a down ice direction where it was deposited as glacial sediments, most notably till. In some locations till contains minerals of economic value. Till such as this can be traced in an up ice direction to its source which may be a mineralized rock outcrop or till covered bedrock, this technique is known as drift prospecting.
Drift prospecting was originally developed in Finland, and was first researched in Canada in the 1950’s, since then it has been used extensively as an important mineral exploration tool. (GSC,2006). During the past few decades many valuable mineral deposits have been discovered such as copper ore, uranium, and most notably the Kimberlite deposit near Lac de Gras, Northwest Territories which is now a fully operational mine
The flag of Labrador flying in Mary's Harbour, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. While technically unofficial, it has become an important symbol of the region since it was first adopted in the 1970s.

Retriever do Labrador (Labrador ou em alguns países de língua inglesa, Lab), é uma das mais conhecidas raças de cão. Notabiliza-se por sua amabilidade, inteligência e obediência. Devido a estas características, são frequentemente treinados para cães de caça, de assistência, como cães-guia ou de serviço. A raça Labrador é uma das mais populares em todo o mundo, em especial nos Estados Unidos e Europa.
O nome "retriever" deve-se ao facto de o Labrador ter como principal função a busca de caça abatida. Existem mais raças na família dos "retrievers", como, o Golden Retriever, o Toller (Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever), o Curlie Coated Retriever, o Chesapeake Bay Retriever ou o Flat Coated Retriever.

Connu sous le nom de thé du Labrador, le Rhododendron groenlandicum est un arbrisseau très attrayant. Comme son nom vulgaire l’indique, on peut infuser les feuilles séchées de la plante pour faire un thé. Il affectionne les toundras et les tourbières.
Nom scientifique accepté : Rhododendron groenlandicum (anciennement accepté sous Ledum groenlandicum)
