About Minerva’s reported breed
Labrador Retriever
Listed as Labrador Retriever
The Labrador Retriever is a medium-to-large sporting dog, and the AKC places it in the Sporting Group. Labs tend to be friendly and eager to learn, but many have high energy and need daily exercise and structure. The coat sheds heavily, and weekly brushing helps manage it. The AKC gives a general life expectancy of 11-13 years, and Labradors are prone to weight gain that can worsen joint disease.
