Labrador Retriever?

Question by Ronaldinho: Labrador Retriever?
Hello,

if you have been reading some of my previous posts, you will know that my family and I are trying to find a breed of dog that best suits our life style. Staffordshire Bull Terrier is my first choice, but I am also curious about the labrador retriever. I just have a couple of questions about the labrador retriever. Please answer all of them.

1) Will a labrador retriever bark to alert me if someone strange is on my property?
2) Not that the labrador retriever will be used as a guard dog, but if someone threatened me and my family, and the lab was there, would he protect us?
3) Do labrador retrievers have big intimidating barks?
4) Do you think that if we saw someone strange outside, and from inside the house we told a lab to speak (bark), would the intruder get scared and leave?
5) Just out of curiosity, but are labrador retrievers muscular and strong dogs?
6) And finally is it true that if you use food while training, a labrador retriever can learn just about anything?

Answer by barbsman2009
The answer to every answer is yes. Labs are excellent dogs and VERY intelligent. I don’t believe there is anything you an’t rain them to to. They very intimidating barks and are protective over the masters. Some can be overweight, but that is due to the owner’s feeding habits. Mine is in great shape and is wonderful.
