I read a book by Richard Wolters about the history and origin of Labrador Retrievers, and he found out that the breed originated not from Labrador, but from Newfoundland.

Anyway, the original dogs were dogs that fishermen used to retrieve fish that would fall from the nets when fisherman would haul in when fishing.

Somehow the dogs made it to England, were trained to be waterfowl retrievers and game dogs, and then came back to North America.

I guess that's why he liked fish so much, but he is the only Lab I ever had that liked fish.
