How good is a Labrador’s sense of smell?

A Labrador’s sense of smell is extremely acute. Labradors are retrieving gun dogs that help hunters locate and retrieve game by scent, and today they are frequently trained as guide dogs, transit police dogs, and search-and-rescue dogs.

In addition, Labradors are intelligent, alert, gentle, and very friendly toward people, making them excellent family pets. However, they are quite energetic, so owners should take them out for walks and play twice a day to burn off their physical energy.
