The Labrador Retriever is a large-sized dog with high energy needs. Those two things — the space it needs and the exercise it expects — matter more day to day than the breed label itself, especially with rescue dogs, where many are crosses.
Shelter breed labels in Australia are usually a visual guess rather than a DNA result, so a dog listed as a Labrador Retriever may well be a cross. That is worth knowing before you rule a listing in or out: temperament and the individual dog's history tell you far more than the name on the card.

Not for sale, for adoption, which is usually the better deal. Every Labrador Retriever here comes from an Australian rescue rather than a breeder or a classified seller, and the adoption fee already covers desexing, vaccination and microchipping. That fee is typically a few hundred dollars, against often several thousand from a breeder with none of the vet work done. If you searched "labrador retriever for sale", adopting gets you a vetted dog for a fraction of the price.
