What sports and jobs are good for Labs?

By · Updated

Short answer

Labs excel at retrieving and field work, dock diving, scent work, obedience and therapy-dog roles. Scent work is low impact and suits seniors or dogs with EIC. Wait for your vet to confirm growth plates have closed before high-impact jumping or repetitive dock dives.
