Labrador Names

Labrador Retrievers, popularly known as Labs, are one of the most famous canine varieties around the world. They are said to have originated in the 1800s in Newfoundland, Canada. In the 1830’s they were imported into the United Kingdom and developed further. This breed was originally developed to be hunting dogs, but they are also one of the greatest companions. They are known for their friendly and intelligent nature and aren’t just great house pets but are also good service and therapy dogs.
