Labradors need to be brushed on a regular basis (about once a week). This will also help keep shedding under control. A "slicker" brush, which you can purchase at any pet store, works nicely. Labradors, like all dogs, will also need to have their toenails clipped regularly. You can get a canine nail clipper at any pet store and your Veterinarian can demonstrate the best way to clip their nails.

Labradors do not need to be bathed frequently, as the coat does not need constant attention. A true bath, which includes shampooing the coat, is only necessary if your dog smells bad. Shampooing too often is not a good idea as shampoo tends to strip the natural oils out of their coats. An oiled coat easily repels dirt and water.

Two sets of genes, not one, control a Labrador's coloration. One set of genes controls whether the Lab will be dark (black or chocolate) or light (yellow). Dark is dominant over light, thus a Labrador who's genotype is EE (homozygous dominant) or Ee (heterozygous) will be dark; only Labradors that are ee (homozygous recessive) can be light.

As a breed, Labradors tend to be good with children. However, as with any dog, it is not a good idea to let puppies and children play unattended. Both children and puppies are unaware of their own size and strength and could accidentally injure on another.

Lifespans vary from dog to dog, but generally you can expect a healthy Labrador to live between 10 to 13 human years.
