If you have absolutely no idea what kind of a dog you want for yourself except for the fact that your neighbor's dog is the cutest and the most adorable thing on four legs. The yellow Lab puppy that you saw in the window of the pet store staring at you from behind the glass window, whose memories you still have in your mind and urging you even now to run to the store and get it for yourself.
You want to get a dog and now that the germ of an idea has taken root in your head, you want your dog now! However, you've heard so many horror stories about dogs and owners not properly matching together, and heartrending stories where the dogs are so cruelly abandoned that you do think twice about impulsively getting the yellow Lab puppy.
Since you do want the yellow Lab puppy so badly however, you decide to give yourself a break and do a little research about the Labrador dog breed. By doing this you are ensuring that you get a better idea of what is expected of you in looking after your little yellow Lab puppy, and what you can expect back from the puppy as it matures to a full grown dog.
The first and the foremost thing that you need to know about dogs is that most dogs have a very long lifespan and like these dogs a Labrador can live up to 12-13 years, and there is a lot of variation in the life expectancy of dogs and some may even live up to 18-19 years. This may not be the case always, but the thing that you should understands is that owning a dog is a lifelong commitment. You need to understand that you cannot get tired of the dog and will need to treat it with care and attention all the time.
Having gotten that out of the way, you can then go on to look at the various characteristics that you can expect in your yellow Lab puppy. These can be wide ranging, but most commonly you will find that Labradors are a very intelligent breed. They are very trainable and they have a gentle temperament. This makes them ideal companions for handicapped people, and many Labradors are taken for this purpose.
Families having young children can also look up to having a Labrador as they are very well natured. They may become sedentary if they are not exercised, taken for walks or are overfed, and this is the last thing that you would want to happen to your highly energetic and playful Labrador.
Showering your yellow Labrador puppy with love and affection, playing with it, exercising it regularly are some of the things that you can do increase the bonding with your new puppy, and one thing is sure that the more you try to do these things, the more you would be awarded for your efforts.
