Loyal is one word that can be used to describe Labradors (also called Labrador Retrievers , but surely that is not the only reason that Labradors are one of the most popular dog breeds around the world.
Perhaps it is also because they are friendly, loving and faithful companions, as well as being incredibly intelligent and obedient. They make great family dogs as they are patient and affectionate and are great with children and other dogs.
Labradors can be trained easily, which is why they are often used as service dogs, including guide dogs for people with visual impairments, service dogs for people with disabilities as well as police dogs and customs dogs.

Alaskan Huskies and Alsations
An alaskan husky is generally a spitz-type dog, but it is not a particular breed but rather a type of dog, classified primarily by its purpose, which is a sled dog. Alaskan huskies are the preferred type for dog sled racing championships.
The Alsation, or German Shepherd, originated in Germany towards the end of the nineteenth century. It is a working dog which was originally used for herding and guarding sheep. They are one of the most commonly registered breeds around the world, mainly due to its loyalty and protectiveness.
