Chocolate Labrador - I have always thought that the chocolate Labrador was the ideal dog. They are big, but not too big. They are fiercely loyal, and friendly, but not vicious. Most of all, they are intelligent and playful. However, they are not too intelligent. They are just the right level of intelligent for a dog that is kept as a pet. If there were any smarter, they would get bored with no chores to do. They would need to hunt or to herd animals. As it is, however, it is easy to keep chocolate labs entertained.
I currently own a pet chocolate Labrador retriever, and it is by far the best pet that I’ve ever had. It is always in a good mood, always happy to see me, and always fun to play with. It is great with children and puts up with a lot! Best of all, it is a very fun dog to have. You should not have a chocolate Labrador if you don’t plan to play with it. Chocolate labs need to be played with. They are very affectionate dogs, and get depressed if they don’t get to run around in the park. A chocolate lab should not be kept at home all day. It will just start to waste away. Chocolate Labradors need constant attention and affection.
It is important to train a chocolate Labrador correctly. It is a big enough dog, after all, to cause some trouble if it is not well trained. Unless you have a large enough yard to let your chocolate Labrador run around without a leash, you will need to train it to heel at your command. That way, you can let it run around in a dog park. A chocolate Labrador shouldn’t cause any trouble. Very rarely do they like to fight with other dogs. Still, like any dog, you need to watch a chocolate Labrador carefully. If it is well-trained, it should be able to avoid any conflicts. Just the same, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Almost every chocolate Labrador loves to play catch. This is far and away their favorite game. If you have a chocolate Labrador and you do not play catch with it, you’re practically being cruel. It will get depressed. I know that my chocolate Labrador takes any excuse to play catch. Anytime I so much as pick up a ball, it comes running.
