In the 1500s the St. Huberts Hounds were taken on fishing trips to the Grand Banks off St. John, Newfoundland, Canada. So the Lab came from Newfoundland not Labrador as its name would seem. The dogs which evolved into retrievers were used to help bring in the catch for the fishermen. Over the next three hundred years this strain of St. Huberts Hound became known as the Lesser Newfoundland or more commonly the St. Johns Water Dog and eventually the Labrador Retriever.

The dogs of the fisherman had to be able to earn their keep. They not only had to be steady in the boat, help haul in the catch and retrieve those fish who got out of the net. But they also needed to be able to retrieve upland birds and waterfowl on hunting exertions inland.

Soon sea captains would bring back not only the fish caught off the grand banks but also some of the best dogs to market. The main port of import for the "St. Johns Labs" was the port of Poole, England. In the 1830s, these valuable dogs began being raised in Britain. The St. Johns Dog went into a selective breeding program by the Aristocracy of England and Scotland.
