Always up top in any list, the Labrador Retriever! This medium to large sized breed is a common sight around the UK. 

Typically seen as either a chocolate, black or yellow colour, labradors are friendly, intelligent and overall good-natured. They are popular with families and working dogs alike. Quite placid and easy to train, they are suited to a range of environments and make good dogs for first-time owners.

They shed a lot and require adequate mental and physical stimulation to stay happy. They’re also quite happy to join you for a snack or two and can be prone to weight gain, so that’s something to watch out for!
