Salt Creek Retrievers

   The Labrador Retriever originating in Newfoundland has become one of the most versatile and useful breeds of today. From continued use as a gun dog, to service dogs for the disabled, the Labrador has made it's mark in history.

 

   The Labrador is one of a few breeds distinguished by webbed feet, to help it retrieve waterfowl more easily. An "otter" tail also facilitates this, acting much like an otter's tail in steering the dog in the water. The Labrador's coat is waterproof, with short, straight hairs in the topcoat and soft, waterproof under-coating.

 

   The most appealing aspect of a Labrador Retriever is his temperament. An easy-going nature with a distinctive desire to please make this dog the versatile companion it is today.

 

   An ideal family pet, Labrador Retrievers are generally free of aggression and happy to play fetch for hours on end. Their intelligence make them first-choice for many jobs.
