One of the most beloved breeds in America, these dogs are intelligent, eager to please, loving, and energetic. Originally, they were bred to retrieve waterfowl for hunters, which explains their seemingly endless energy and love of water. But they are also perfect pets, remaining puppyish into adulthood. They do like to have a job—whether it’s greeting the kids at the bus stop or helping you in the yard.
