A sporting dog, the Labrador Retriever is well known for their gentle disposition as pets, and seamlessly unending supply of energy on hunts! Also known as the “St. John’s dog” or “Lesser Newfoundland dog,” in the 1800’s, it is believed that they acquired their name from the area of Labrador, which happens to be just north of Newfoundland (Englishmen commonly referred to both areas with the same name in that time). Labs can be black, chocolate or yellow, with chocolate and yellow being the recessive gene colors. For many years breeders specifically opted to breed for the black labs. Labs have been known to overwork themselves, if not kept from it, on hunts, so hunters must keep a close eye on their performance to ensure these dogs do not overly exhaust themselves. It is not uncommon for these dogs to spend the day on a hunt and then return home to play with the children. Select this link to view our Animal Ornaments Christmas.
A working dog is a general classification of types of dogs who primarily do work for their masters. Some of the jobs they may be given include pulling sleds, tracking, and acting as guides for the visually disabled.
Non sporting dogs are a variety of dogs (such as the Bulldog or Boston Terrier) who may have once been bred to hunt or work for their master(s), but are now just kept as pets. Select this link to view our Hunting Christmas Ornaments.
