Labrador Retrievers are among the most popular dog breeds in the world. They are beloved by dog owners for their gentle and friendly temperament, intelligence (an adult Labrador has the IQ equivalent to a three-year-old child), and loyal nature. Labradors excel in many areas, such as search and rescue work, guide dog assistance, and family companionship. One of the breed’s most appealing characteristics is the variety of their coat colors, which come in three classic shades: yellow, chocolate, and black.
