INTRODUCTION

The Labmaraner is a mongrel dog, a cross between the Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner dog breeds. Intelligent, active and friendly, these puppies inherit some of the best qualities of their two parents. You can find these mixed breed dogs in shelters and breed-specific rescues, so remember to always adopt. The Labmaraner is a loving and sociable dog that will be a big hit with large families. This breed loves human companionship, but does not like to be left alone for long periods of time and, in some cases, separation anxiety can become ingrained. The breed does best with an active family that has the time and space to involve the dog in most of its activities. Although some Labmaraners have been known to show stubborn tendencies, they are generally intelligent dogs and easy to train.

Today, the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular dogs in the United States, something to which its gentle and affectionate nature probably contributes.
