The most popular dog owned by people in the U.S. is the Labrador Retriever, a very loyal and intelligent dog. The Labrador has been a popular breed for many years, and not just as pets, but as work-related dogs as well. They are often used on police forces as bomb sniffing and search and rescue dogs, due to their intelligence, and their trainability. Originally bred for hunting dogs, the Labrador was trained to retrieve the prey their owners would shoot, retrieving on both land and water. These dogs have great dispositions. They are loving and highly dedicated to their owners and make great family pets.
