Labrador Retriever
"A native of Canada, the labrador Retriever is thought to be descended from the Saint Jones Dog that inhabited the island of Newfoundland in the eighteenth century. The breed was definetively set in the early twentieth century in England, where it was imported after being crossed with the English Pointer, in particular. The most popular retriever owes his success to his exceptionally even-tempered personality, which explains why he is first and foremost a companion animal." (The Royal Canin Dog Encyclopedia).
