"Imagine a guardian who never really sleeps, one with the eyes and ears to rival the best security system ever devised, one that knows roads are bad things and will steer your youngster away from them. At the same time, they realize that a short little kid with an ice-cream cone is like a gift from God." -- Steve Smith, Just Labs

"Labs don't crowd our personal space. We tell them things we'd never share with anyone, at least not with any degree of comfort. They listen and understand. They never expect excuses." -- E. Donnall Thomas Jr., Labs Afield

"I can't ever imagine being without one or two Labs, nor do I expect to. I need the comfort and companionship they so willingly and amply provide. I have come to absolutely depend on it." -- Gene Hill, A Dog For All Seasons

"Three colors, one breed, countless personalities." -- Steve Smith, Just Labs

"Regardless of the type of Labrador shape and size your dog conforms to, there remains certain characteristics that apply to the Lab across the board. Personality, temperament, and intelligence are three important traits that endear these wonderful dogs to us, their owners; these things make our beloved Labs special." -- Vickie Lamb, Just Labs Magazine

"The Labrador retriever has been America's favorite dog for so many years now that it's hard to imagine the breed ever relinquishing its position as tops in the land... and in our hearts." -- D.A. (Don) Young, Labs Afield

"Elaborately constructed of heavy guard hairs and dense underfur, a Lab's coat offers better protection from the elements than anything money can buy... even when it's caked in ice." -- E. Donnall Thomas Jr., Labs Afield

"With all that's been said of their winsome ways and their ability to love, we should stop once in a while to remember that there are few creatures on earth as strong, courageous, committed, and just plain tough as a Labrador retriever." -- Steve Smith, Just Labs

"It is important for any Labrador fancier or judge to recognize and appreciate that the Labrador imported into England and introduced into this country... for one, and only one, purpose -- to retrieve upland game and waterfowl." -- Dr. Bernard W. Ziessow, The Labrador Retriever Club of America, The Official Book of the Labrador Retriever

"[T]he Labrador retriever did not see the shores of Labrador until modern times... his name is a fluke, a misnomer derived from the nineteenth century British concept of geography that lumped Labrador and Newfoundland together in the same land mass." -- Richard Wolters, The Labrador Retriever

"I recently had a non-hunting Lab owner ask me how anyone could make dogs jump into icy water to fetch a duck. Had she truly understood the breed, she might have asked how anyone could refuse to let them." -- E. Donnall Thomas Jr., Hunting Labs

"When you watch good Labs work, you get the sense that they are muttering under their breath, ‘If only I could fly... if only I could fly... if only...'" -- Steve Smith, Just Labs

"Labs have always had jobs to do, jobs that require specific skills and hard-wired behaviors but that also require an unusual capacity to adapt and respond creatively." -- Tom Davis, Just Labs Magazine

"Although well-prepared for traversing urban rubble, this particular pile was extremely difficult for several reasons. Foremost was the sheer size of the rubble itself. Tons of loose sheetmetal provided precarious footing, the dogs not knowing its instability until they stepped on it. Exposed mammoth I-beams were slick to both dogs and human rescuers; dogs and human rescue workers were transported via Stokes Litter... over suspended cables and by crane. When a dog would alert, a second dog was directed to the area for confirmation." -- Sandra Kay Miller, Just Labs Magazine, writing about the search and rescue dogs from the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation at the site of the World Trade Center attacks
