1. Labrador retriever
The Labrador retriever is one of the most popular dog breeds in the world. It was originally bred as a fishing dog to help retrieve fish that got away and bring them into fishing nets. In other words, we’re talking about a dog that was bred for hunting and sports.
They tend to be outgoing, very active, and friendly, and they are known for being loyal and obedient as well as playful. They typically weigh between 55 and 70 pounds (for a female dog) and 65 and 80 pounds (for a male dog). They are moderately large stands that stand between 22 and 24.5 inches tall at the shoulder.
All of these may sound fun and nice, but Labrador retrievers require a lot of time and attention, and they must be taken out for exercise daily. They are athletic dogs that need plenty of exercise to stay physically and mentally healthy and happy.
While they are easy to train, they are actually some of the worst dogs for seniors. Since they require so much attention and time, some retirees may find it difficult to have these dogs around.
