Five Fun Facts About Labs

The Labrador Retriever is America's favorite dog breed, but Americans are not alone in Lab loving. Considered the most popular breed in the world, Labradors are the favorite breed of the UK, Israel, New Zealand, Australia and Canada.

Mayor of a California Town - Bosco, a Labrador retriever, was elected honorary mayor of Sunol, California in 1981. He ran as a re-pup-lican, and beat two human candidates for the honor. Bosco remained mayor for another 13 years, until his death in 1994.

Labs make the best Guide Dogs. In fact, approximately 70% of the American guide dogs are Labrador retrievers.

Labradors are one of the ten breeds with the best sense of smell. They can sniff out cancers in early stages, that were previously undetectable. Labs have been trained to sniff out various cancers through patients' breath, urine and stool samples. They are so highly accurate, that scientists are attempting to make a robotic dog nose based on the olfactory design of the labs's remarkable nose.

In the UK, no Lab can become a show champion without a working certificate. This ensures that the breed will continue to excel at the work they were bred to do, both as a gundog and as a water dog.
