Standard Labrador Retriever Dogs for stud in Durham, County Durham

The most expensive Labrador is typically the Silver Labrador, due to its rarity and unique coat color. However, prices can vary based on breeder reputation and location. Overall, Silver Labradors tend to be more costly than traditional black, yellow, or chocolate Labradors.

Labradors can be left alone for short periods, typically a few hours, if they are well-trained and comfortable being alone. However, they thrive on social interaction and may become anxious or bored if left alone for too long. It's important to provide them with mental stimulation and companionship to keep them happy.

The most difficult age for a Labrador is often the adolescent stage, between 6 months to 2 years. During this time, they can be energetic, stubborn, and test boundaries as they mature. Consistent training and patience are key to managing this challenging phase.

A 3-month-old Labrador puppy should have short, gentle walks of about 5 to 10 minutes, two to three times a day. It's important not to over-exercise them, as their bones and joints are still developing. Always watch for signs of tiredness and adjust accordingly.
