Is your
dog's breed on most mischievous list?
The
Labrador retriever, the dog known best for its
fun-loving demeanor, apparently has another side to its personality
that is less known. These happy-go-lucky pets are the breed that gets
into the most mischief, statistics from a poison control center show.
The American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals says owners of
Labrador retrievers were the ones who placed the most calls to its
poison control center in 2012. The ASPCA's center received 180,000
calls and 14,000 of them were from nervous Labrador retriever owners.

"The Labrador retriever is one of the most popular breeds in this country, and evidently they get into the most trouble as well," Dr. Tina Wismer, medical director at the animal poison control center, states in a media release.
Domestic
shorthair cats placed second on the list with in approximately 10,000
cases, but dogs occupied the rest of the top spots. The rankings are:
mixed breeds, third with 8,000 cases; Chihuahuas, fourth with 4,833
cases; golden retrievers, fifth with 4,819 cases; Yorkshire
terriers, sixth with 3,800 cases.

"There is
no telling what types of calls we will get on a given day at the
ASPCA's animal poison control center, but there are clear trends that
surface when we analyze our case data," Wismer said. "Dogs explore the world with
their mouths, so it is not surprising that the overwhelming majority
of calls we get are from dog owners.
The
poison control center also handled calls regarding horses, snakes,
primates, fish and even a bear in 2012.
