The Labrador Retriever is one of the most beloved quadrupeds in the world - and it was even voted the favorite breed in the USA.

Even though they are one of the most widespread breeds in the world, not many know the region where Labrador originally appeared or when they almost disappeared completely from Earth.

1.

Labrador Retriever dogs appeared in Newfoundland, Canada. Initially, they were called St. John's dogs and, over time, they have evolved to have traits appreciated by people, such as sociability and unique athletic abilities.

2.

In the 1800s, families in Nwefoundland were required to pay a fee if they had dogs and could not own more than one quadruped. Locals paid a higher fee for females, so many breeders preferred males.

3.

Fortunately, the breed became extremely popular in the United Kingdom, so the Labrador Retriever population continued to grow in that country.

4.

Labrador fur allows them to be exceptional swimmers, even in low temperatures. In the past, Labradors have been bred to help fish, so it's no wonder that the love of water has been encouraged by owners over time and helped the breed evolve in this direction.

5.

Even though black, chocolate and yellow / gold Labradors are the best known, there is also silver Labrador, which is actually gray. There is also red Labrador, which has brown-red fur.

6.

In the past, Labradors helped fishermen, which is why they have adapted so well to the water, but their athletic abilities help them to be useful in many other activities.

7.

Labradors get along well with children, but also with other pets. He is very loyal and loving to his master.

8.

Being very intelligent, resilient and with sharp senses, Labrador is the most used breed in the police, rescue teams or in assistance programs for people with disabilities and other needs.

Even though it is small, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi dog has a very strong personality. Used from the beginning as dogs that drove herds and hunt rodents in Pembrokeshire, Corgi are reliable dogs who took their work seriously.

1.

 Today, the Corgi dog is still used in farm work, but it is also an appreciated and loved pet. They do very well with other animals, are trustworthy guard dogs and can be left in the presence of children.

2.

Even though he shows a lot of independence, the Corgi dog has a continuous desire to please people. They can show strong and varied personalities, from those who are always on the lookout, to those who are always looking for attention, who are always introspective and thoughtful.

3.

Like many other breeds of working dogs, these dogs like to be busy all the time, to have something to do. They are able to excel in agility training and can perform complex commands.

4.

Being farm dogs, Corgi are also excellent guard dogs. They will bark as soon as they notice an unwanted guest, either human or animal. Barking can become a problem over time, which is why it is advisable to train it from an early age in this regard.

5.

Socialization is very important, because a Corgi dog must get used to seeing people, otherwise he will always want to bite. They will bark even if they are left alone for long periods of time.

6.

Once they have established a connection with children, Corgi dogs can show that they are the leader and will try to guide the children all the time.

7.

Corgi dogs have become famous thanks to Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, who does not leave them even when travelling. The fluffy quadrupeds also appear in a short film, which was released at the opening of the 2012 Olympic Games.

8.

The first Corgi dog to reach the residence of the British Royal Family was the Dookie, in 1933. King George VI, the father of the current Queen Elizabeth, brought Dookie. Elizabeth was 10 years old then.

At the age of 18, Princess Elizabeth received her own dog of the same breed as a gift: a puppy named Susan. Since then, Corgi have appeared in official photographs of the British Royal House. The British press noted that the Queen used to take her four-legged friends on trips as well. After Queen Elizabeth I died in 2002, the current Queen, Elizabeth II, took her mother's dogs and cared for them as if they were her own.

Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain had, during her reign so far, about 30 Cogi dogs.
