The Labrador Retriever, also known as simply Labrador or Lab, is one of several kinds of retrievers, a type of gun dog. Labradors are athletic, playful, and the most popular breed of dog by registered ownership in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States (since 1991).
A favourite assistance dog breed in these and other countries, Labradors are frequently trained to aid people who are blind and people with autism, act as therapy dogs, and perform screening and detection work for law enforcement and other official agencies. They are prized as sporting and waterfowl hunting dogs. A few kennels breeding dogs were in England; at the same time a combination of sheep protection policy (Newfoundland) and rabies quarantine (England) led to their gradual demise in Canada, their country of origin.
The first and second Earls of Malmesbury, who bred for duck shooting on his estate, and the 5th and 6th Dukes of Buccleuch, and youngest son Lord George William Montagu-Douglas-Scott,were instrumental in developing and establishing the modern Labrador breed in 19th century England. The dogs Avon ("Buccleuch Avon") and Ned given by Malmesbury to assist the Duke of Buccleuch's breeding program in the 1880s are considered the ancestors of modern Labradors.
The first St. John's dog was said to be brought to England in or around 1820; however, the breed's reputation had spread to England long before. There is a story that the Earl of Malmesbury saw a St. John's dog on a fishing boat and immediately made arrangements with traders to have some of these dogs exported to England. These ancestors of the first labradors so impressed the Earl with their skill and ability for retrieving anything within the water and on shore that he devoted his entire kennel to developing and stabilizing the breed.

What our future blog will be look like?
My opinion is to design our blog as simple as we can. Because
simple is the best! About the layout, I will set header on the
top, content at left, sidebar at right and footer at the bottom. It
is a traditional layout but it is better and clear for users to see
what are the contents about and they can easily select
subscription options, future content and social media at the
sidebar. The main content contains the posts, pages and
images, and the header and footer includes the links and
search. About the color and backgound, I will choose some
warm color to match our topic “pet”. Because puppies are all
lovely, I want to give users comfortable and warm atmosphere.
In terms of the logo, I will design some fonts with pet models
together to clear show what the blog is about.

Golden Retriever

The Golden Retriever is a large-sized breed of dog bred as gun dogs to retrieve shot waterfowlsuch as ducks and upland game birds during hunting and shooting parties,[1] and were named 'retriever' because of their ability to retrieve shot game undamaged. Golden Retrievers have an instinctive love of water, and are easy to train to basic or advanced obedience standards. They are a long-coated breed, with a dense inner coat that provides them with adequate warmth in the outdoors, and an outer coat that lies flat against their bodies and repels water. Golden Retrievers are well suited to residency in suburban or country environments. Although they need substantial outdoor exercise, they should be housed in a fenced area because of their instinctual tendency to roam.[2] They shed copiously, particularly at the change of seasons, and require fairly regular grooming.
The breed is a prominent participant in conformation shows for purebred dogs. The Golden Retrievers' intelligence makes them a versatile breed and allows them to fill a variety of roles – common ones being guide dog for the blind, hearing dog for the deaf, hunting dog, detection dog, and search and rescue participant. The breed's friendly, gentle temperament means it is unsuited to being a professional guard dog, but its temperament has also made it the third-most popular family dog breed (by registration) in the United States,[3] the fifth-most popular in Australia,[4] and the eighth-most popular in the United Kingdom.[5] Golden Retrievers are rarely choosy eaters, but require ample exercise (of two or more hours a day).[6] The breed is fond of play but also highly trainable.

CHIHUAHUA
The Chihuahua is a tiny toy sized dog. The body is
longer than it is tall. The head is well-rounded, apple in
shape and the muzzle is short and pointed with a well-
Defined stop. Puppies have a soft spot on the top of
the skull called a "molera," which usually closes by
adulthood. The large, round eyes are set well apart
and are dark, ruby, and may be lighter in white dogs.
The erect ears are large. Dewclaws may be removed.
The tail is long, sickle-shaped and either curled over
the back or to the side. The coat can be short, long
and wavy or flat. All colors, both solid, marked or
splashed are accepted. Colors include, but are not
limited to, black, white, chestnut, fawn, sand, silver,
sable, steel blue, black & tan and parti-color. Prone to
rheumatism, slipped stifle, colds and gum problems.
Also corneal dryness and secondary glaucoma, due to
their protruding eyes. Gains weight easily. Take caution
around toxic products such as chocolate or fertilizer.
This is a very small breed and it will not take much to
poison them. Chihuahuas are often born via cesarean
section because puppies are born with relatively large
heads. Susceptible to fractures and other accidents in
puppyhood. All dogs, even tiny ones, need to feel their
owners are strong-minded beings able to handle the
entire pack.
