Labrador retrievers are famous for their "soft mouth", but no one expected this.

The labrador retrievers are famous for living and dying for fetch. It’s no wonder, as for many years they were bred to do just that: retrieve the game during a hunt. However, being a versatile breed, they can fit into the life of a more active family. Therefore, they can usually practise one of their favourite pastimes with balls, twigs and toys. Some Labradors are so keen to prove their prowess (and love it so much) that they can play “fetch”  that they’ll take just about anything to their owner, whether they ask for it or not. A similar story can be seen in the video below. Here, the dog takes the smallest twig possible as a gift to its owner.

Briefly about the sticks

It’s very cute how much the tiny twig is valued. But it’s important to know the dangers of playing with sticks. Given that neither dog wanted to chew it, and that they are two “soft-mouthed” labradors, there was no cause for concern. But a curious dog can cause serious injuries to themselves if they use the stick they brought to their owner to “clean” their teeth, especially if they swallow bits of it.
