Artist: Reuben Ward Binks 1880 -1950 His love of dogs, combined with his artistic abilities, brought him in contact with many socially prominent dog fanciers. Bink's was essentially an illustrator, and his work is of great historic importance in chronicling important show dogs of the early twentieth century. Labrador Retrievers are the #1 dog breed in the United States and when you look at this Lab, you know why immediately. Labs can be Yellow, Black or Chocolate, but all three colours share the same wonderful traits. Labs are great family and hunting dogs along with being fantastic service dogs for the blind and handicapped. A perfect gift for you or anyone who loves Labs.
