Breed Information

Overview

Chocolate Labs are industrious little pups. They were bred for retrieval and will often sniff about for something to get into. They are famously even-tempered and will put up with a lot before even showing irritation. This makes them fantastic dogs for a growing family, as they won’t even consider an aggressive reaction no matter how often they’re poked and prodded by little ones. Plus, they’ll love the extra attention and people available for cuddle or playtime.

Labrador Retrievers are one of the most popular dog breeds. The Chocolate Labrador Retriever is not a distinct dog breed from other Labs, but it is a separate coat color variation that is specifically bred for. Similar to the other standard coat colors of Labrador Retrievers, Chocolate Labs are energetic dogs that get along well in a family setting.

As a Retriever, they also make great hunting dogs and have also been known to fill other working dog roles including service dogs, guide dogs, search-and-rescue dogs, and more. They are even one of the common dog breeds employed in K-9 units. A point of interest is that all modern Chocolate Labrador Retrievers can be traced to three specific Black Labradors that lived during the 1880s.
