BRINGING UP A LABRADOR RETRIEVER

I had always known Labradors or Labs (as they are popularly known) to be the gentlest, most patient, family dogs known to man. Those liquid eyes with emotional appeal, those fat paws, and friendly temperament make this breed one of the most sought-after in India. This is what I knew about Labs when we got Masha into our home. At the age of 2 months, she was the cutest thing around the house. After so many years of being with Masha, here’s what I have learnt about bringing up a Labrador. There are so many misconceptions and myths surrounding them and pet parents need to know what’s best for this extremely docile breed that only brings affection and sunshine into our homes

Labradors are foodies:

Research published in the journal Cell Metabolism states that Labradors have a genetic modification due to which they love food more than other breeds. Weight control is always a struggle for Labrador owners as these foodies beg for food, scavenge for scraps and have a tendency to put on weight. Weight increase leads to various health issues. Weight control through a healthy diet and exercise is the biggest favour you can bestow on your food-obsessed Labrador.
