Labrador Retriever
What can I say, I am a sucker for labs, especially Yellow Labs. The Labrador Retriever tops the list here in NJ, AND the entire country for the 27th year in a row!
My girl, Josie is friendly, active (sometimes too much) and extremely outgoing, all the traits of a lab. She loves everything and everybody, except for cats and squirrels, for some reason squirrels just rub her the wrong way.
