About the Labrador Retriever
The Labrador Retriever is India's most popular dog breed. Friendly, gentle, and highly trainable, Labs thrive in family environments. Their double coat sheds heavily twice a year — daily brushing during shedding season keeps the home clean. They are water-loving dogs and enjoy swimming.
Temperament
friendlyoutgoingplayfulgentletrusting
Highly food-motivated and eager to please. Adapts well to apartment life if exercised daily. Prone to chewing when bored.
Care & Grooming
Brush coat 2–3 times per week. Bathe monthly. Clean ears weekly as they are prone to infections. Provide at least 60–90 minutes of exercise daily to prevent obesity.
Nutritional Needs
Labs are prone to weight gain. Feed measured portions 2x daily. High-protein kibble is recommended. Avoid free-feeding. Adult Labs (25–36 kg) typically need 2.5–3.5 cups of dry food per day split across two meals.
