| About the painting - by Daniela Ria:
Labrador Retriever in country vest. The Labrador originated on the island of Newfoundland, now part of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Many fishermen originally used the Lab to assist in bringing nets to shore. The Labrador Retriever is among the oldest of the modern "recognized" breeds; according to the American Kennel Club, pedigrees exist back to 1878. |
