My cousin has a chocolate lab. When it was a baby it took a lot of naps. I didn't get to play with it very much because it took so many naps. It dosn't take very many naps now because it is older so I can play with it now. It is very strong. We put half of a brick and 2 rocks and the dog still turned her drinking bowl over. They are  wonderful loving pets but they arn't for everyone. They are a very good house pet if you train them to be a very good house pet. They chocolate lads are so cute. I think all of them are. They are the most adorable puppys in the world. They are very strong!!! It is popular for being very mellow and gentle. Though.It gets along with children. Their are 3 reconized colors for labs black (a solid color.) yellow, (anything from light to gold to "fox-red"), and chocolate (medium to dark brown). Puppies of all colors can potentially occor in the same litter. Color is determined primarily by two genes. Nell- A St. Johns dog circa 1856. The early Labador originated on the island of Newfoundland,now part of the province of Newfoundland and Labrodor,Canada. The breed emerged over time from the St. John's Water Dog, also an ancestor of the Newfoundland dog(to wich the Ladrodor is closly related),through ad-hoc breedings by early settlers in the mid to late 15th centry.
