It is almost impossible to get the same level of loyalty and love that a dog gives, from any other pet. Like humans, canines come in all shapes and sizes, temperaments and colors. A lot of people, especially those with children, find that one of the gentlest and most loyal choices for family pet are charcoal Labs or their colored brethren.
This is a proud and noble breed that has been one of the most popular choices for families, hunters and special needs organizations for hundreds of years. Though the AKC only officially acknowledges the three main coat colors of black, chocolate and yellow, these animals actually come in a wide range of hues including charcoal, silver, grey, champagne and reds. It is commonly believed that the variations are simply blends or muted versions of the primaries.
Whatever their color, they all share the same core qualities and characteristics. They are strong, intelligent dogs with a gentle spirit and an eagerness to please. They are easy to train and great at retrieving, two aspects that make this breed great for hunting, companionship, serving special needs such as leading the blind and especially as valuable members of a Search and Rescue team.
Labradors not only crave human companionship and attention, they thrive on it. Then enjoy active play, especially running, retrieving and fetching whatever is thrown for them. They will spend all day on those games, have a tendency to bring their people gifts of whatever they happen to find laying unattended and have been known to be very effective at preventing children from wandering off.
Along with running and playing, this is a breed of natural swimmers who will take every opportunity to jump in a lake, especially if there is something in it they can bring back to their people. Like human babies, puppies have to go through a learning period in the water but once they get the hang of it, there is no stopping them. These dogs should not be left unattended around pools unless there is an easy way for them to get out because they are not built to pull themselves up over the edge.
Though their solidly built bodies and obedient nature may make them appear formidable, this breed makes terrible guard dogs. They may put on a good show with some threatening barking if they think their family is in danger, it is unlikely they will ever become aggressive. Unless licking someone to pieces is tough enough, these canines are better suited for babysitting.
As size goes, these dogs are in the medium range, having a maximum shoulder height of about twenty-five inches and high end weight of approximately seventy-five pounds. Their bodies are solid and sleek, topped with a broad block shaped head and ending with a thick, extremely strong tapering tail. They have a downy undercoat for insulation and a hard outer layer for waterproofing.
Yellow, black, grey, silver, red, champagne and charcoal labs are a great choice for family pet. They are lovable, obedient, gentle and intelligent, great with kids as well as people who have special needs. Keep in mind that these animals require a lot of attention and exercise and though they make fabulous companions, they really are not intended to function as guard dogs.
