Labrador Retriever

Webbed toes and an 'otter tail' make it a born swimmer.

Care tips

Needs 2+ hours of exercise daily and a job for the brain: training, scent work or a sport.
Brush 2–3 times a week, daily during the spring and autumn shed. Never shave a double coat.
Large-breed puppy food, and no forced running or long stairs until it's fully grown (around 18 months).
Ask the breeder for: hip x-rays, elbow x-rays, eye examination.
Food safety, from Bumba: keep the batch number of every bag. If your dog suddenly can't stand or walk, go to the vet the same hour.

General guidance, not veterinary advice. Your vet knows your dog best.
