The Labrador Retriever, also known as simply Labrador or Lab, is one of several kinds of retrievers, a type of gun dog.They are even-tempered and well-behaved around young children and the elderly. Labradors are athletic, playful, and the most popular breed of dog by registered ownership in America, recognized by the American Kennel Club,Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States (since 1991).
A favourite assistance dog breed in these and other countries, Labradors are frequently trained to aid people who are blind and people with autism, act as therapy dogs, and perform screening and detection work for law enforcement and other official agencies. They are prized as sporting and waterfowl hunting dogs. A few kennels breeding these grew up in England; at the same time a combination of sheep protection policy (Newfoundland) and rabies quarantine (England) led to their gradual demise in their country of origin.
The first and second Earls of Malmesbury, who bred for duck shooting on his estate, and the 5th and 6th Dukes of Buccleuch, and youngest son Lord George William Montagu-Douglas-Scott,[9] were instrumental in developing and establishing the modern Labrador breed in 19th century England. The dogs Avon ("Buccleuch Avon") and Ned given by Malmesbury to assist the Duke of Buccleuch's breeding program in the 1880s are considered the ancestors of modern Labradors.
The first St. John's dog was said to be brought to England in or around 1820; however, the breed's reputation had spread to England long before. There is a story that the Earl of Malmesbury saw a St. John's Dog on a fishing boat and immediately made arrangements with traders to have some of these dogs exported to England. These ancestors of the first labradors so impressed the Earl with their skill and ability for retrieving anything within the water and on shore that he devoted his entire kennel to developing and stabilizing the breed.

I am 9 months old today. And not long ago I was a little puppy...
Hoje faço 9 meses, e não faz muito tempo que era um pequeno filhotinho!
(; She's my baby with her 9 babies. Her name is Issy. If you've seen my previous shots you will see a white labrador called Arcky, he is the dad of these puppies!
Issy comes from Isaac Newton and Arcky from Archimedes. And just for the lulz, I have another labrador named Copper, and his name comes from Copernicus. Also, we had another labrador, but she died 2 years ago :(, her name was Galy, because of Galileo Galilei. I seem like a labrador-crazy-person, but they are lovely! Copper is about 10 years old :( He was my boy growing up!
They were born July 13, so they have around 5 days now. They grow SO fast ;)
... someone needs to stay here watching those two crazy brothers!
... alguém tem que ficar aqui para tomar conta daqueles dois irmãos maluquinhos!
Our home is a mess! We don't know why they decided to build the attic, we won't be able to climb the stairs any way!
Mom doesn't have time for us, for Flickr, just for those guys on the top of the roof! And we can't have any fun lately! Oh yes, the only nice thing is that I ate my name tag...
Nossa casa está uma bagunça! Nós não sabemos por que eles inventaram de fazer o sótão já que não conseguiremos subir aquelas escadas...
A mamãe não tem mais tempo para nós, para o Flickr, somente para aqueles caras em cima do telhado!
E nós não temos nada com que nos divertir ultimamente! Ah sim, a única coisa boa é que eu comi a minha tarjeta com o meu nome...
This is a rare sight - Almost every photograph I have of him, he's about to bark, mid bark, or end bark!
It's been a long time since I last showed up all by myself, don't you think?
So here I am... only for you!
Faz um tempão que não apareço sozinho aqui, não acham?
Então aqui estou.... só para vocês!
