If you’re thinking about adopting a Labrador Retriever, don’t do it. Listed below are 10 reasons why they don’t make good pets. They mean well, they really do, but don’t get one. You’ve been warned. 😉

Labs hate swimming and want nothing to do with water.

They’re not that cute (especially as puppies).

They can’t control those big, wild tails.

Contrary to what their name suggests, Labrador Retrievers won’t actually fetch anything.

They just aren’t on the same level as other dogs intellectually.

Labs just want all your food and will beg nonstop.

Don’t even get us started about their shedding…

They are lazy and have absolutely no energy.

They’re basically incompatible with babies…

Labrador Retrievers just aren’t the affectionate type.
