Kada se na TV-u vrte reklame, koji pas reklamira banku, nameštaj, montažne kuće? Kada gledate film, koji je pas simbol srećne porodice? Koji je pas na fotografiji pored nasmejanog tate, lepe, negovane dečurlije i mame koja se sa osmehom nalaktila na stidljivog sina tinejdžera? Ili, na primer, kada odete u park za kog psa vam se čini da je nekako uvek tu? Odgovor na ova pitanja je naravno - labrador retriver. 
Due to poor breeding practices, some breeds are prone to certain genetic health problems, such as hip dysplasia. This doesn't mean that every dog of that breed will develop those diseases; it just means that they're at an increased risk. If you're buying a puppy, it's a good idea to find out which genetic illnesses are common to the breed you're interested in, so you can ask the breeder about the physical health of your potential pup's parents and other relatives.

Mikey is a sweet, older gentleman.  He came back to us when his previous adopter became ill. As a result, Mikey developed some separation anxiety that he has been working through, along with getting a few pounds off.  Now in a less stressful environment, he is adjusting and returning to his old self but it is very possible he will require some time and patience as he adjusts to new surroundings with his adopting family.  Once adopted, Mikey really needs stability and lots of love to understand that he is home and that someone else is in charge again.
Some dogs are simply easier than others: they take to training better and are fairly easygoing. They're also resilient enough to bounce back from your mistakes or inconsistencies. Dogs who are highly sensitive, independent thinking, or assertive may be harder for a first-time owner to manage. You'll get your best match if you take your dog-owning experience into account as you choose your new pooch.
