The Labrador
Labradors, Labrador retrievers or 'Labs' as some people (1)
(call)
them, are a type of gun dog that originally came from Canada. Today they are very popular
pets. In fact, since 1991, Labs (2)
(apparently be)
the most popular dog breed in homes around Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and the
US. This is due to the fact that these dogs are gentle and playful and children
(3)
(adore) being around them. The feelings are, of course, mutual.
Apart from being family dogs, Labs are also good working dogs and thanks to their excellent sense of smell,
the police often (4)
(use) them for detection. In addition to this, people
(5)
(train) Labs as guide dogs for the blind for many years now and will continue
to do so.
Labs are medium-sized dogs. They usually (6)
(weigh) between 25 kg and
36 kg and they are either black, yellow or brown in colour. They generally (7)
(eat) quite a lot, so they (8)
(frequently have) problems with their weight.
In return for their hard work and gentle nature, the only thing a Lab (9)
(want)
is a regular daily walk, a bowl of food and a lot of affection.​
