I have a labrador retriever and a cockapoo! Both of them are great pets and great gun-dogs for retrieving birds - or stuffed animals!
Awesome, why did you choose a Labrador?
Labradors are popular! I didn't really choose the labrador. I mean I didn't buy her. I found her in a cardboard box on the side of the road as a newborn puppy and took her home. I adopted her.
That is great!  I have rescued 7 snakes, 2 lizards and 2 cats.  Also have two dogs.
Reptile
Reptiles are tetrapod animals in the class Reptilia, comprising today's turtles, crocodilians, snakes, amphisbaenians, lizards, tuatara, and their extinct relatives. The study of these traditional reptile orders, historically combined with that of modern amphibians, is called herpetology.
Because some reptiles are more closely related to birds than they are to other reptiles (e.g., crocodiles are more closely related to birds than they are to lizards), the traditional groups of "reptiles" listed above do not together constitute a monophyletic grouping
