Labradors still the favourite purebreed


The trusty Labrador has kept its top spot as New Zealand's favourite purebreed, but metro mongrels are all the rage for space-deprived townies.

The New Zealand Kennel Club, which represents the country's dog breeders and owners, has released figures showing 1320 Labradors were registered last year - up nine per cent on 2005. Kennel club president John Perfect said Labradors were also top of the 2005 list. "They are both a great family dog and a working dog which is often used for hunting." MORE>>

Just aware that Labs have the most 'complains about 'dog bites' '... but that is just because kids do silly things to the dog until the dog gets enough and dog snaps to the kids. The kids interpret this as dog aggression, tell their parents, then .. you get the story?

Saying all that, I love labs for their gentle nature.. and some of those mix-labs are just too-cute!
