#1 LABRADOR RETRIEVER
Like others at the top of this list, Labrador Retrievers are another retriever in the hunting world. Today, they’re known for their work in the area of disability assistance as guide dogs for the blind, therapy dogs, detection dogs for law enforcement, and more.
Labrador Retrievers have a relatively long lifespan with pleasant and outgoing dispositions. They have an excellent sense of smell, an even-tempered reputation, and are known to generally make great companions. They’ve been registered as a breed with the American Kennel Club since 1917. However, since they’re big dogs, they need twice the dog grooming.
