Labrador Retriever – 2211

Beautiful Labrador × German Shepherd Puppies Looking for Loving Homes 🐾 We are expecting a very special small litter from our two much-loved family dogs, Gracie and Arlo. Mum, Gracie, is our beautiful 3-year-old black Labrador. She has a wonderfully gentle, affectionate nature, loves being around people and is fantastic with our children. She is the British style lab, with strong confirmation, robust build and a very placid and calm approach to absolutely everything. We’ve had her since she was 10wks old and we have yet to see her have a bad day! Dad, Arlo, is our handsome German Shepherd and is also very much part of our family. He is mentally solid, gentle with our kids and is fearlessly protective. He is one heck of a guard dog. He is an above average intelligent dog and loves mental stimulation, bonding with his family and he can swim for hours! We are combining two incredibly loyal, intelligent and people-oriented breeds. Both mum and dad are extremely well bred, healthy and resilient dogs. They will be born and raised inside our family home, surrounded by normal family life, children and plenty of love and attention from the very beginning. This is a special one-off litter for our family, and finding wonderful, responsible homes for the puppies is extremely important to us. We aren’t simply looking for the first person interested — we’d really like to know a little about prospective families and the kind of home each puppy will be going to. We will provide life time rehoming assistance if life takes an unexpected turn. The puppies will remain with Gracie until they are old enough to leave and will receive appropriate worming, veterinary care and microchipping before going to their new families. You will receive a healthy, robust and loved puppy! Labrador × German Shepherds can grow into active, intelligent and devoted dogs, so we’re looking for homes where they’ll truly be part of the family and receive the companionship, exercise, training and attention they need. 🐾 Both mum and dad are our family dogs 🐾 Raised in our busy family home with children 🐾 Microchipped and appropriately wormed before leaving 🐾 Loving, committed homes only with lifetime rehoming More photos and information will be available once our little ones arrive (any day now)

Labrador Retriever – Camira

Hello everyone, I am pleased to announce that my daughter Daisy gave birth to 10 healthy and adorable puppies on July 9th! At present, there are only 2 girls including the father dog named Seven: a pure golden retriever Labrador Retriever. Number seven is very lively, intelligent, and friendly. He likes swimming, has a lot of exercise, and also enjoys playing ball. Once when we were playing in the swimming pool, Number Seven saved my life. I can't swim, but I like to soak in the swimming pool. I accidentally swam into a deep water area and couldn't breathe. I quickly sank to the bottom of the water, and Number Seven tried to bite my hair and swim towards the shallow waters, allowing me to survive. At that time, my husband and uncle were chatting by the shore and didn't notice that I was about to drown. I am very grateful to Number Seven for giving me a second life, so I believe it should have its own children. Mother dog mother Daisy: A white Labrador Retriever, this litter of puppies has yellow and white fur colors, as shown in the photo. The puppies are very lively now and always like to play around. Play with each other. These dogs have been dewormed three times and are now in their eighth week. They have received their first dose of vaccine and implanted chips. The veterinarian said they are all very healthy and can bring them back to their new home. These puppies can be trained as auxiliary dogs. Or as a family member of a sports dog. Both parents actively participate in dog sports, especially olfactory tracking, chasing, and diving. Both parents are very obedient and energetic. My address is near Camilla Primary School in Queensland, postcode 4300. If you are interested in keeping a smart and cute Labrador as a companion dog, they are a good choice. My phone number is 0466436598. Please contact me via text message, I am really busy taking care of them and don't have time to answer the phone. Thank you.

Labrador Retriever – Bessiebelle

We have a giant litter of 14 incredible healthy robust little pups that will be ready for their new families mid August. We breed sparsely & selectively very conscious of keeping the traditional Labrador personality, appearance & traits. Ruby the mother is a very deep chocolate colour from chocolate lines with a gentle generous personality & has been the most incredible mother to this her first litter. Clyde the sire is from longtime well held Mumbanna breeders we have successfully used over the past 10 years. He is a cinnamon toned golden very traditionally well built with chocolate lines with an outgoing social character. Together they produced 14 pups - 7 golden & 7 chocolate. We still have 8 pups available to home: 6 Golden (4 girls/2boys) and 2 chocolate boys. All our pups are incredibly smart (usually leave their verandah day area to use the garden for toiletting). Know meal times & are waiting. Come when called. Watched our cat once enter through cat flap - and all trooped in right behind him … through same cat flap. Love pats & cuddles. Confident. Eating softened solids very well & coping with small extra introductory food items on a 2 day rotation … hard boiled egg/boiled chicken/boiled carrot/ tbsp Greekyoghurt/sardine. I can’t boast enough about our little mob. They will all be vaccinated/microchipped/have individual vet cards/wormed & their specs & personality summarised. We have been weighing them each day to ensure not one misses out or gets left behind with such a much number. We are more than happy to answer any questions & supply further details. Visits welcome by appointment.

Of our incredible 14 beautiful pups we have 8 left (2 Chocolate boys & 2 golden boys, 4 golden girls). All are healthy. Robust, curious, very social & incredibly smart. The pups are 6 weeks old today & only ready to leave mid August. They will have their 2nd vet check Vaccination Microchip & transfer papers Wormed Vet card & details weight chart & milestones Details diet Ruby 4 1/2 is a deep rich chocolate, and this is her 1st litter. She is a devoted mum with a loving gentle social nature but ofcourse a litter this size means we have been helping 24/7 and as a result our puppies love the handling, the cuddling, tolerate the daily weighing, have adapted so well to rotation feeding, and are on top ideal weight for age stats. Clyde 2 1/2 is a handsome traditional built golden lab with a beautiful personality from breeders in Mumbanna who we have used successfully over the past 10 years. We are not big breeders & breed sparingly & selectively and for the love of the breed.

The Ultimate Labrador Retriever Guide

About Labrador Retriever

Labradors adore their humans and thrive on companionship. Expect endless tail wags and heartfelt cuddles.

Highly trainable and eager to please, Labs excel in obedience, agility, and working roles.

Despite their size, Labradors have a soft touch, making them excellent around kids and smaller pets.

Grooming

Grooming

Brush their coats twice a week to prevent shedding.

Origins

Though their name suggests otherwise, Labradors hail from Newfoundland, Canada.

Originally bred as fishermen’s companions, these dogs helped retrieve nets and lost lines from icy waters.

Their webbed feet and water-resistant coats made them natural swimmers, and their intelligence allowed them to take direction effortlessly.

By the 19th century, English noblemen recognised the breed’s exceptional qualities and further refined their traits, resulting in the modern Labrador Retriever we know today.

Key Characteristics Of Labrador Retrievers

Are Labrador Retrievers Family-Friendly?

Without a doubt. If there were an award for the most family-friendly breed, Labs would be strong contenders. They’re affectionate, patient, and great with children. Whether you have toddlers or teenagers, a Lab will adjust, offering playfulness and protection in equal measure.

Common Health Issues & Considerations

Labrador Retrievers may suffer from:

Osteochondrosis Dissecans (OCD)

A joint disorder where flawed cartilage development leads to the detachment of a cartilage flap within the joint, causing pain and impaired movement.

Cold Tail

A condition characterised by a sudden onset of tail limpness and pain, often occurring after strenuous exercise or exposure to cold water.

Nature / Temperament

Energetic, Intelligent, Gentle

Suitable Environment

Labradors aren’t apartment-friendly unless their owners are exceptionally dedicated to daily exercise.

A home with a backyard is best, giving them room to stretch their legs and burn off their abundant energy.

But more than space, Labs need companionship. They thrive in homes where they’re included in daily activities, from family walks to weekend camping trips.

Other Considerations

  • They were originally called St. John’s Dogs. Before they became known as Labradors, they were named after Newfoundland’s capital city.
  • With webbed feet and thick tails that act like rudders, Labs cut through water like Olympic swimmers.
  • Labrador puppies were bred to retrieve game without damaging it, meaning they can carry delicate objects (even an egg) without breaking them.

How can I take good care of my Labrador Retriever?

Nutrition

Lab puppies love food—sometimes a little too much. Stick to high-quality dog food, measuring portions to prevent overeating. Avoid table scraps, as Labs are prone to weight gain.

Grooming

Labs have short, dense coats, but don’t be fooled—they shed like crazy. Brush them at least twice a week to keep fur from taking over your home.

Exercise

Labrador Retriever puppies have energy to burn, and if you’re not prepared to keep up, they might find their own way to entertain themselves (often at your expense).

Aim for at least an hour of exercise daily—whether that’s a brisk walk, a jog, or a swim. They also love retrieving games, so a simple tennis ball and a bit of open space can be all you need for a happy, tired Lab.

Training

Labrador puppies are eager learners, which makes training easier than with many breeds.

Positive reinforcement, consistency, and early socialisation will help shape them into well-mannered companions.

This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.

Most Asked Labrador Retriever Questions

Not really. They’re more likely to greet a stranger with a wagging tail than a growl. They might bark to alert you, but aggression isn’t in their nature.

Yes! They’re intelligent, trainable, and forgiving of mistakes. As long as you’re committed to exercise and training, they’re a great pick.

If you are searching for a Labrador for sale, we recommend that you adopt from reputable Labrador breeders. Labrador Retriever puppies from good breeders will be happier and healthier in the long run. The average cost of a Labrador for sale will be between AUD $2000 and $5000.
