Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever (short coat). Steel was brought to us on Friday for rehoming. He is a large-boned chocolate lab, not yet neutered, and not yet current with vaccines other than rabies. Steel would like to be a good boy, but apparently has had a little training and has no clue how to walk on a leash. His best placement would be a home with large dog capabilities, and a large fenced yard would be ideal! He does not seem to have any concern about dogs around him, and most likely would be overpowering to a family with young children. He would like to be a good boy! Can you help him learn?

Overview:
The Labrador Retriever, a beloved and highly popular breed, originated in Newfoundland, Canada, where they were initially bred to assist fishermen by retrieving nets and stray fish. Physically, they are medium-to-large dogs, known for their strong, athletic build, short, dense, weather-resistant double coat (commonly seen in black, yellow, or chocolate), and their distinctive "otter" tail. Temperamentally, Labs are celebrated for their friendly, outgoing, and good-natured disposition, making them exceptional family companions. Their intelligence and eagerness to please contribute to their trainability, though they do require consistent exercise to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. While adaptable, their energy levels make them more suited to homes with yards, or highly active families, rather than apartment living, unless daily extensive exercise is guaranteed. Regarding health, Labs can be prone to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia, and some eye conditions, so responsible breeding practices are crucial. Overall, their loyalty, versatility, and affectionate nature firmly establish the Labrador Retriever as a wonderful addition to many households.
