Yellow labrador retriever running through an open field.
Labrador Retrievers, originally from Newfoundland, were initially used in work alongside fisherman, helping to pull in nets and catch fish that escaped from fishing lines. After being crossed with Setters, Spaniels and other Retrievers, the Labrador Retriever honed its skills as a true retriever. From this point in the breedâs history, "Labs," as they are affectionately called, were bred primarily to perform as an efficient retriever of game. This yellow labrador is running through an open field.
