We are a Labrador family. Every Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, our chocolate labs,  Lucille, and Meg come to the table with our family. Every family get together consists of our family and our two brown girls. They are in the middle of everything we do. Inside or outside, they are with us. They are tolerant with people, children, and other animals and for this reason our Labrador Retrievers have made a great addition to our busy family.

This is when a Labrador is at its best; they are a family dog. They want to be into everything their human is doing. From a puppy to an aging dog, they are curious and a devoted companion. We, as a family, will continue to own Labradors but feel it is important for new owners to realize that while they are at times a challenge to live with, they are at the same time a blessing. > learn all about Labrador retrievers here

Gotta Love a Lab was started to provide other lab owners and those thinking about getting a lab with loads of good, quality information about this special breed, the Labrador Retriever. Unlike the other websites about Labrador Retrievers, the purpose of this site is for you a prospective Labrador owner to receive our experience in living with Labradors. We have lived with Labradors for fifteen years. This is a labor of love for me, the proud owner of one of the chocolate labs in our family, Lucille.

Specifically, we address a wide range of topics from choosing dog names for labs(even broken down by color) to great pet products, to homemade dog remedies to living with a new puppy to the issues surrounding an aging Labrador.

We also want to hear from you whether you are in the process of buying a new Labrador puppy, rescuing a Lab from a shelter, or if you have an older dog. Tell us your funny stories, share your experiences with your Labrador, and by all means, send us your Labrador pictures!

We will be designating a Lab of the Month each month from among the pictures sent in to the site. You already know your lab is fabulous-now the rest of the internet can see it too! Click here to send us your Labrador’s pictures.
