The Labrador Retriever was the most popular breed
in the United States in 2002, with 154,616 individual dogs registered. That was almost three times as many as the No. 2 breed, the Golden Retriever.  The Lab's top AKC ranking goes back at least to 1991.  The Lab was also No. 1 in the United Kingdom and Canada in 2002.

The dogs behind the breed were introduced into Newfoundland by European settlers to serve as hunting dogs and fishermen's assistants. In the 1800s, they were imported to England, and in 1903 were recognized by The Kennel Club. AKC recognition came in 1917.  Click for breed resources.
