Labs Are Built for Water, and This Puppy's Bath Proves It Starts Young
It's clear from this sweet viral video that Chocolate Labs were born to be in the water, no matter how young they are.
This puppy literally almost takes a nap while being bathed. She is so relaxed!
So why are Chocolate Labs and Labradors, in general, built for water?
Originating in Newfoundland and Labrador, in Canada, in the 18th century, they were bred to work alongside fishermen.
According to HowToAnimal, English nobles were impressed with the breed and took them back to England, where they became superb hunting assistants for retrieving waterfowl.
Their bodies make them agile swimmers: Labs have webbed feet, double coats to keep them warm in cold water, wide chests and strong back legs to make them fast and powerful swimmers, high body fat, and otter-like tails (which is why this puppy resembles an otter!).
They're also intrinsically rewarded by retrieving things from water, such as birds, fish, sticks, or Frisbees!
They also have a natural love of water, as is clear with this little puppy who was featured on a Lab breeder's page called The Happiest Labrador.
