Labradors are famously friendly (though they have been known to unrepentently steal pastrami sandwiches).As their name suggests, Labradors are able retreivers and have often been used to assist hunters. They are particulary good at receiving items in the water. They are known to be attentive to humans and thus have a high reported success rate as guard dogs. They are the most common breed to be used as guard dogs. A lab named Endel from the United Kingdom reportedly was even trained to cover its owner with a blanket and assist with calling emergency authorities. As pets, labradors are among the most popular dogs in the world. Their common diet is dog food and they will hunt for anything available or what falls on the floor.
