The Labrador Retriever is a type of hunting dog that was originally bred in Newfoundland to help fishermen retrieve fish that were caught in nets. They are also known to be excellent swimmers. The American Pit Bull Terrier was originally bred in the United States for dog fighting. However, today they are known as gentle and loving dogs that are also good with children.
