"The special density and hair type of their coat that allows them to repel water, and their seemingly limitless energy enables them to quickly adapt to working in both the water and on land. They have webbed feet that propels them powerfully through water. Retriever breeds are highly trainable, with an ability to respond to training pressure without loosing interest in their job. Retrievers are problems solvers, willing to work through a situation in order to complete their task."
This quote gives me great information for my topic; it tells me directly that a reason these dogs are used for this sport is because of their makeup. They are born with coats that repel the water, making it easy for them swim around-to get in and out as quick as possible- before the others dogs would. They are amazing animals who adapt to both the land and the water so anyone will love them. I also found that their breed is highly trainable and work strongly through any task you pass their way.
The makeup Labs have gives them many characteristics that help them move swiftly within and out of the water; which is the same way for their land legs too- they are just as good in the water- and out. This also gives their owners smooth, assurance thinking that their little hunters will train without getting a short attention span.
