Labrador Retriever

Dubbed America’s favorite pup, these adorable dogs are also known to be major shedders despite their short coats. You may be wondering why that is, and the answer is quite simple, especially when you consider what they were bred to do.

Labrador retrievers are water dogs, so their coats are short and thick so that they can keep warm and dry as easily as possible. We know they are irresistibly charming, and their smile will melt anyone’s heart, but you definitely have to consider how much they will shed before you go ahead and give one a forever home!
