Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: All About Labrador Retrievers

Labrador Retrievers make a good companion for
anyone who wants a dog. They are very special
dogs and enjoy playing ball. They are
compassionate and sensitive to the moods of their
owners.

Labradors weigh up to 80 pounds and can grow as
tall as 24 inches. These dogs come in 3 different
colors: black, chocolate and yellow. Whichever
you pick, you get the same temperament: loving,
energetic and silly (most of the time). Do not be
alarmed though, Labrador Retrievers just act
silly but they are a rather intelligent breed.

The Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular
pets worldwide but did you know that the breed
almost went into extinction? In its early stages
of development in Newfoundland, many of the
people reverted to sheep breeding because it was
more profitable than breeding Labrador
Retrievers. There was a heavy dog tax as well
making it impossible for families to afford
taking care of the Lab.

Thankfully, this was put to a stop and today, we
can see a lot of Labs walking down the street or
in the park with their owners doing their
Labrador business. Labrador Retrievers love to
chew on things and have that oral fixation of
carrying objects in their mouths. Amazingly,
these dogs can control their jaw muscles that
they are able to carry or hold an egg using their
mouths without breaking it.

These developed water dogs can even assist in
swimming and true to their name, these dogs are
excellent retrievers. Labradors are obedient and
can be trained easily.

Labrador Retrievers in History

During 9/11, Jake a Law Enforcement Labrador
helped in the search even if he had to go through
scorching hot debris. He even helped in rescuing
and assisting a lot of people during Hurricane
Katrina in the year 2005.

In Afghanistan, a Labrador named Sadie saved
dozens of soldiers in the field when she sniffed
a bomb. Without Sadie, the soldier would not be
alive today. Sadie received a medal for her
bravery and her sense of smell.

Labrador Retrievers on Your Personal Checks

Labradors are cute, yes, but when you have a
Labrador Retriever with you, you get more than
cute, you get an intelligent, loving and loyal
dog all rolled into an energy ball of fun. Having
a Labrador Retriever's image on your check will
not only remind you about these adorable dogs but
will remind you of Sadie's and Jake's heroism.
These dogs are just amazing and what Sadie and
Jake did should be a reminder to all of us that
we can be heroes as well.
