It's no wonder that Labrador retrievers have been the most popular dog breed in the United States for the past 19 years straight. They are sweet, family friendly and super trainable. To prove our point, here are videos of Labradors that have learned to perform common tricks, compete in athletic competitions, assist humans and even save lives. Gordon tears up the course in this agility competition. Too bad we can't crank the trance music at the actual agility events, since it certainly heightens the drama! ...
