About the Labrador Retriever
Yellow, black or chocolate: is there a difference in character?
No. Temperament comes from the parents and the upbringing, not the colour.
Is a Labrador good in a flat?
Yes if it gets its daily exercise; the size of the home matters less than the time you spend outside.
