Labrador Retriever

#1 breed for 31 years. Bombproof temperament. Forgives every rookie mistake.

America's most popular breed for 31 consecutive years didn't earn that title by accident. Labs are outgoing, high-energy, and virtually bombproof temperamentally. They're the breed behind most service dogs, therapy dogs, and search-and-rescue dogs because they're that trainable. First-time owners love them because Labs forgive every training mistake you make — they just want to be near you.
