"Labradors [make] lousy watchdogs. They usually bark when there is a
stranger about, but it is an expression of unmitigated joy

at the chance to meet somebody new, not a warning." - Norman Strung

My yellow Labrador Retriever, Oliver or Ollie,
has a very funny personality. Like he'll sneeze a lot
or chase his tail. His favorite toy is an old stuffed Barney,
but whenever we get home from somewhere we'll find
him sleeping on his back with his legs up in the air and
he'll have a smile on even when he's sleeping.
It's so cute - he is the best dog EVER.

Kiersten, age 10, New Jersey,USA

red pawI love Myffy (Labrador Retriever) because he is
a cute little pup. I hope
he will grow up to be an
intelligent and responsible dog. He loves to play with me
and enjoys running around. Anupama, Age 11, New Delhi, India

We have two Labradors. Our first dog, Max Million,
he looks like a big bear. Our second dog Maddie, looks
like a Salamander, because she lays on her tum tum
with her legs spread out!

Anonymous, ages 11 and 9, Washington USA

I have some dogs too! Yeller (named after Old Yeller).
He is a yellow Labrador Retriever and very obedient.
He is 6 years old and he has mellowed out
a whole bunch! I got him when he was a puppy.

He can be very cute and cuddly at times! Kara

I have a black Lab. His name is Chivas. I had another
dog but she died. Her name was Bailey. She was a
yellow Lab. I also had a chocolate Lab. His name
was Captain. We had to give him away, because he

kept on digging out. I want another dog so that my dog
can have a playmate. Kimberly, Age 9

My Lab, Mac, is so cute. He is three months old
and loves to chew on things. He is a purebred yellow Lab.
Kelsey, Age 12, Florida USA

My dog's name is Chewbacca and his nickname
is Chewy (chocolate Labrador Retriever). He is
going to turn one in like three days. I got him
last June
and he was a cutey. I love Labradors a lot!
I would say he is one of my best friends!

Laura, Age 13, Nebraska USA

I have a yellow Lab named Haley. She is 2 years old
and very sweet! She loves to take walks with me and
likes to play fetch. She can do lots of tricks, one of her
favorites is jumping through a hoola-hoop. Haley is one
of my best friends. I will always love her!
Jeanette, Age 12, Wyoming USA

I got my dog, Niki (black Labrador Retriever), on
Christmas Day. I very surprised that I would get a dog.
She is very good. She is also a lot of fun. She is 12 weeks old.
This summer I'm going to teach her how to swim. She

is going to be a lot of fun this summer.
Alyssa, Age 8, New Hampshire USA

Our dogs (Labrador Retrievers) are very sweet.
They love to play ball. We love them very much and
take good care of them. Max is so intense about the ball
and he sleeps onJessi's bed. Maddie snuggles when she
is tired. She also snuggles on Candi's bed and is a
'two-second puppy'. 'Two-second puppy' means that she
only wants to snuggle two seconds when she is awake.
Candis and Jessi, ages 10 and 8, Washington USA


My dog, Sunny (Labrador Retriever), was very nice.
She's very polite, too. When we went up to the mountains
(2 hour drive), she didn't throw up or poop. But still she was
very funny whenever we went swimming. She also enjoyed baths,
so I guess that's one good thing about a dog.
Kati, Age 11, California USA

My dogs (yellow Labrador Retrievers) are so nice.
I love them because they are part of our family. They are
special because they always love me no matter what.
My dogs are related to each other. Dakota is Lady's dad.
Kaylah, Age 7, California

Hi Doggie luvers! You wanna know something cool
about my dog Gracey (Chocolate lab)!? Her real name is
Gelya (Gail-ya). I mean her first name is Gelya.
Her middle name is Gracey. We call her by her middle

name. She does this hilarious thing.Every once and a while
she'll roll on her back, all over the floor like a nut! And when
she's tired, she'll go into our computer room and she'll flop on

the couch & fall asleep! Plus she snores. But she only does it
on the couch in the computer room! Nowhere else! I've written
a ton of stuff on this site. Look for it! Well gotta go! See ya
on the web! Adnama, Age 9, Massachusetts USA

Hi, my name is Tawny and I have a black lab and her name
is Casey. Casey is a female puppy and she is very playful. She
is only 10 weeks old and she does not get along with my cat,
Mitsy or my kitten, Kali. Casey loves all of her toys especially
her squeaky white teddy bear. Tawny, Age 10, California USA

Hi. I have a dog named Casey. She is a black Lab. Once I got
in big trouble by my mom and she yelled at me and I started
to cry. I was laying on the floor and she (Casey) came to me
and laid next to me and started licking my face.Casey is
a 1 year old and as cute as can be! Courtney, Age 11, Illinois USA

Hi my name is Amanda. I have a dog, her name is Casey.
She is very cute.
She can jump very high. Her favorite toy
is a squeaky teddy bear. She is a
very funny puppy. She loves
to play with me and my sister. Maybe you think
black Labradors
like water, but Casey doesn't. I love her very much!

Amanda, Age 8, California USA

I love my dog (a Black Labrador). He's adorable.
He loves to swim at the Lake. He likes going on walks
and going bye-bye. We took him to the car wash once

and he barked up a storm. When we got out everyone
was looking at us.
His name is Jake. He weighs 120 pounds.
I love my dog. I will always love
my dog, even if he is
rambunctious and chews up underwear. I will always

keep my dog and not ever sell him for all the money in the
world. When I
grow up, I'm going to own a kennel. I wish
that I could have every dog in the
world. Even if they were
ugly, I'd still love them.
Amanda, Age 11, Ohio USA

I taught my dog, Rosie (black Lab), to sit, give me
her paw, and whisper, and I taught her to lay down and
roll over and play dead. And once I brought her to a pond
to swim and she cut her foot on something we brought to the
hospital. She loves to chase cats and lick my face and lick
the food out of the cat food can. And once she dug a hole 5

feet deep and the cats fell into it.
Samantha, Age 10, Maine USA

My dog, Tucker, (yellow Lab) is 3 years old. He is
really cute and I love him because he's smart,
very playful, and always greets you when you get back from
school. He also knows a lot of tricks like high five,

bye-bye, airbud, and much more. He's such a good pup
I wouldn't give any dog in the world for him. He loves
being around people, especially kids. When we go
somewhere in the car,he's always the first one in.
He sits beside me and puts his head on my shoulder.
Every year at our trailer, there are fireworks. He gets

really scared and hides in the car and refuses to come
out when it is over. He also thinks the same of thunderstorms.
Julia, Age 8, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada

I love my dog, Coco (Labrador Retriever), because
he makes the cutest faces and he barks when there's
someone or another animal around. He likes to come
swimming with me when it's warm and he is always

very playful. Jocelyn, Age 11, Ontario Canada
