They are notorious thieves, stealing not only our hearts but our food, and now Black Labradors have been voted the UK's favourite breed in the latest survey of almost half a million households.
These glossy goofs who have been a favourite of the dog world for 200 years, topped the poll in the Dogs Trust's first National Dog Survey completed during lockdown.
Favourite breed competition, like their tails stiff, the Black Lab topped the poll with 31,234 votes ahead of the Cocker spaniel with 19,735 and a close run Cocker Poodle mix with 19,074.
