Since being bred with poodles in the 1980s to create the Labradoodle, the Labrador Retriever has been one of the most favored canines for hybrid dog breeders. 

Joining such crossbreeds as the Labraheeler and Sheprador is the Labrabull, a hybrid between a lab and an American Pit Bull Terrier.

Unfamiliar with the Labrabull? Read this Wag! guide, and you’ll learn that:

  • This hybrid is particularly active and needs at least an hour’s exercise a day
  • Labrabulls can be susceptible to epilepsy and OCD, but both these conditions can be managed
  • The Labrador Retriever side can temper some of the Pit Bull aggression
  • This is a dog that can be gentle around small children and other pets


Labrabull Breed Overview

The Labrador Retriever and American Pit Bull Terrier might seem an odd combination for a hybrid, but the Labrabull — a Pitbull Lab mix — is an example of differences complementing each other.

In many cases, the Labrabull unites the renowned friendliness of a Labrador Retriever with the playfulness and loyalty of an American Pit Bull Terrier — while hopefully softening some of the latter’s more aggressive tendencies at the same time.

We generally wouldn’t recommend a lab pit mix for first-time parents, as they need firm authority to bring them into line. However, those with a little bit of canine experience already under their belt should find this hybrid to be immensely rewarding company.



All parents would be wise to take out a pet insurance policy, especially when their dog is young and healthy — use Wag!’s online comparison tool to find the best option for you.

Labrabull Breed History

Although different canine varieties will have been bred together for as long as dogs have been by humans’ sides, the demand for hybrid dogs — or designer dogs as they’re more cynically known — really took off in the 1980s.

This was the decade in which dog breeder Wally Conron bred together a Labrador Retriever and Poodle after a customer wrote to him needing a hypoallergenic guide dog.

In the years since, dog breeders across the planet have created a wealth of new hybrids, everything from the Havamalt and Pomchi to the Alusky and Shollie.

The Labrabull is another crossbreed that has emerged recently, although the exact origin is a little uncertain. However, we know plenty about the parent breeds.

The first half of the Labrador Retriever’s name refers to the Canadian region in which members of the English nobility in the early 19th century first spotted St John’s Water Dogs at work — although it’s likely to actually have been neighboring territory Newfoundland instead. They were impressed by this canine’s intelligence and ability to jump into the water to fetch dropped goods and fish.

A select few were brought back to England and they were bred with English hunting dogs. Over the ensuing decades, the Labrador Retriever — so named for their talent for 

retrieving shot animals during hunts — emerged as a distinct breed and was standardized by the turn of the 20th century.

The American Kennel Club (AKC) first recognized the breed in 1917 and their sharp acumen has meant that they’ve since been trained in contraband-detection and seeing-eye roles.

This isn’t just a working dog, however — families across the globe have welcomed Labrador Retrievers into their home and even to this day, they consistently find themselves in the top five most popular US dog breeds in the AKC’s annual survey.

The American Pit Bull Terrier is itself a hybrid breed. It’s thought that Bulldogs were mixed with terriers in 19th-century England and the resulting dog found its way across the Atlantic where they were forced to take part in fights. US breeders sought to make their competitors larger and stronger, which led to the distinctively muscly American Pit Bull Terrier emerging over time.

The United Kennel Club recognized the breed in 1898, but the AKC didn’t want to associate itself with dog-fighting and has never set standards for the breed — that being said, the organization has welcomed a close relative, the American Staffordshire Terrier, into its ranks.

Opposition to dog fighting in the USA grew in the 20th century and led to laws banning the barbaric practice in many states. Outside of the ring, American Pit Bull Terriers found a new purpose — some were trained to be farm dogs, while others became companion dogs in family homes. Although this is a breed that still has a reputation for aggression, they can be soft and affable when trained and socialized well.

Labrabull Breed Appearance

As with many hybrid breeds, the appearance of a Labrabull can vary depending on which half of the gene pool is more dominant. This is particularly true when it comes to height and weight — most will be medium in size however, reaching between 20 and 22 inches in height and somewhere in the region of 45 and 60 pounds in weight.

Most Labrabulls will have short hair and this comes in a variety of colors, including white, gray, brown, yellow, or silver — white markings are not uncommon either, especially on the chest or face. Often, a Labrabull will be a bit more muscular and sturdy than your standard Labrador Retriever and the tail will be long and straight.

When it comes to the head, medium-sized ears hang either side and eyes are typically hazel or brown. The nose is usually brown or black.

Labrabull Breed Maintenance

In many ways, a pitbull lab mix is a low-maintenance dog. For a start, their short coats require nothing more than a weekly going-over with a bristle brush to get rid of dead hair. Bathing should only be done when absolutely necessary and it’s possible to use dry shampoo if they have a bit of an odor that needs addressing.

Along with coat care, the ears of a Labrabull should be checked regularly for signs of infection and cleaned with a damp cotton ball fortnightly. Nails should be trimmed every two to three weeks (or whenever you can hear them clicking on the floor). Teeth should be brushed two or three times a week as well to ward off bad breath and dental disease.

Next up, there’s the matter of exercise. This is a dog with a lot of energy to burn and they should get at least an hour’s activity a day — if you can’t guarantee this, it would be unfair to bring them into your life as they might get bored or overweight. A large backyard helps let them run around while parents are otherwise occupied.



Labrabull Health Risks

It’s thought that crossbreeding dogs can make the resultant offspring a little healthier — a scientific theory called hybrid vigor. While that may or may not be true, one thing that can be said for sure is that a lab pit mix (or any hybrid breeds for that matter) aren’t immune from inheriting health conditions from their parents.

Those conditions that a Labrabull parent should be wary of include:

OCD

American Pit Bull Terriers are one of the canine varieties that are more predisposed to developing Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Just as with humans, this manifests itself in repetitive and excessive behavior that begins to take over a dog’s life.

The behavior in question could be anything from licking to drinking, but Bull terriers tend to spin or chase their tail. While this quirk might appear largely harmless, it’s best to get a vet involved as soon as you spot it happening so they can try to deduce the cause — sometimes, it can be the symptom of a neurological disease.

After a diagnosis of OCD, a vet might prescribe medication to inhibit serotonin uptake, but they will almost certainly recommend consulting with an animal behaviorist to break habits and set up new routines.

Epilepsy

Labrador Retrievers are one of the breeds more prone to suffering from epilepsy, so it makes sense that the same is true of a lab and pit mix.

This neurological disorder leads to seizures involving tremors, drooling and even collapse if left untreated. Thankfully, there’s medication available that epileptic dogs can take every day to ward off seizures. Regular blood testing will also be required.

Bloat

Bloat — or Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV) if you want to impress your vet — tends to affect deep-chested dogs, which is often the case with a pit mixed with a lab. It usually occurs after mealtimes when the stomach starts to fill with air. This can force the organ to twist and block blood supply to vital parts of the body. It might surprise you to learn that bloat can often be quickly fatal.

The symptoms to look out for include a painful abdomen, anxiety, retching and difficulty breathing. It’s important to get a vet involved even if you’re not certain it’s bloat, as rapid treatment is necessary to prevent a dog with an extreme case from dying. Yes: it can be that serious.

Parents can also decrease the likelihood of bloat from happening in several ways. One key preventative measure is to space meals throughout the day, rather than feeding your dog huge quantities in one go. Another is to buy a food bowl that encourages your dog to eat at a slower pace.

Hypothyroidism

Both Labrador Retrievers and American Pit Bull Terriers have genetic predispositions for hypothyroidism, so this can also happen when you’ve got a Labrador mixed with Pitbull. This happens when the thyroid becomes underactive and the hormones are out of balance.

One big symptom is a slowed–down metabolism, which can lead to lethargy, weight gain and poor coat and skin health. Many of the other signifiers are quite general and can be confused with other health conditions. Your vet will need to run several tests to confidently make a diagnosis of Hypothyroidism.

When it comes to treating Hypothyroidism, the condition cannot be cured outright, but a thyroid hormone supplement can be administered to alleviate the worst of the symptoms. Most dogs will see an improvement in health once treatment starts and they will need to undergo regular check-ups at the veterinary clinic.



Regular testing can help spot nasty health conditions at an early stage — this is one of the major perks that comes with a wellness plan.



What to Feed a Labrabull

As the Labrabull is one of the more athletic canines, they need plenty of food every day to replenish their energy supplies and this should ideally be high quality.

What does this mean in practice? Parents should look for recipes with good levels of high-quality protein and plenty of vitamins and minerals. At the same time, anything with an excessive amount of bulky carb ingredients or miscellaneous meat byproducts should be avoided.

Although the Labrabull is a hybrid, we have recommendations for best food for both its parent breeds, which provides useful research. You can read our choices for best dog food for Labrador Retrievers here, and best dog food for Pit Bulls here.

Labrabull Temperament

It cannot be ignored that American Pit Bull Terriers have a reputation for aggression. To what extent this is warranted is up for debate, but remember, this is a dog that hails from fighting stock. However, one of the proposed benefits of mixing them with a Labrador Retriever is the hope that some of their partner’s renowned friendliness will help soften this trait and have a positive effect on its temperament.

In many cases, this is often the case, especially when a Labrabull is trained and socialized effectively at a formative age. They’ve been noted to be gentle and protective around other pets and young children, although these encounters should still be supervised. Occasionally, a Labrabull can display anger around strangers if they feel threatened.

Most of all, however, the Labrabull loves to please their parents, which makes the training process quite easy. They’re always up for playtime, as well.

She is the least aggressive dog I've ever had. Very easy going, affectionate does not even cover it...she LOVES her people. Even likes new dogs coming to her house to play. She can be very excitable though and I have to keep an eye out with her around small or older people (not for fear of bites but more getting knocked down when she plays).

I adopted Kaden from an animal shelter. When i first got him, he was very very timid and quite. He did not bark until about two weeks after I got him. He is a very active dog and i take him to the park, walk him around my neighborhood, and things like that. He never barks when other dogs are around and he doesn’t like when dogs bark at him. If a dog barks at him he will run back to me and wait until we walk away or the dog does. But he does interact with dogs. If he deems the dog acceptable and none- threatening then he will engage. The main issue im having with him is that his nails grow so fast. I have had him for two months and had them trimmed twice and he has an appointment to get then cut again in a week. He loved to play so his nails hinder that sometimes. Training him has been hard ao i would definitely insist to have a professional train your labrabull.

My Labrabull is my favorite dog of all time. She is smart, loyal, funny, easy to train even at 4 years old, and she loves her family and would do anything to protect us. She also loves cuddling and she can never get enough pettings in. She is super great with little ones and adults however she is very timid of other dogs at first and doesn't care too much for male dogs. You will find that this breed of dog will quickly become your best friend and you will be wondering how you were able to live life without them before. Definitely a great family dog or just a dog for someone who is looking for a super cute, fun, and extremely loyal dog.

This is my second labrabull that I’ve owned and the similarities are strikingly similar. Major is on the bigger end of the spectrum but that doesn’t stop him from being the biggest love bug on the planet. He is very friendly and loves to play with other dogs. I am very happy to have such an awesome dog. He is very energetic and loves to be taken outside constantly, even if it’s just to go run and play for half an hour. He is very well mannered but struggles with training due to past bad habits his previous owners gave to him.

I got stitch when he was 8 weeks old he came in biting and peeing all over the place, his puppy months were horrible and no one in the house wanted him but me. I worked very hard to end his chewing phase, he stopped around 6-7 months old but he was never agressive just very nippy. Stitch has made major improvement recently, he's matured alot. He is about 80 pounds, not very tall. He is the sweetest most loving dog towards people. The only agression I've seen from him was towards unneutered Male's, as he is unneutered himself.

Stewart is very lazy. He is friendly to every one and everything he comes in contact with. He is the type of dog that you could put in a room with a bunch of toddlers and he would lay down and take whatever they had in store. Stewart is very good driven and will do just about anything for a snack. He is a creature of opportunity, if you are an unsuspecting child with a donut... he is watching you. He is a snorer and does not like to cuddle while he sleeps. Stewart loves to take long walks and go on car rides. He is also very large, weighing in at 125lbs.

We got butterscotch as a puppy and trained the chase instinct out of her by playing fetch (okay to chase a ball, not okay to chase cats, dogs ect). She took to training very well and can do several basic tricks for praise alone. She is very lean and active, seriously the fastest dog playing fetch I've ever seen, we get compliments on how fast she runs everytime we go to the dog park. The biggest problem is that she is so driven in playing that she blew out her left ccl (dog's version of the acl) which required a 6k dollar surgery a year ago, she is fully healed from that operation and it doesn't seem to have slowed her down at all, however recently she seems to be limping on her right leg and we are afraid that she may have blown that one out as well. We have seen other apbt have this problem too, I'm assuming it's their excessively high energy level and their ability to ignore pain when in play mode. I will be looking for another labrabull in the future, despite the ccl problems she has just been so great with everyone she meets, especially our little nieces and nephews who like her have that limitless energy to play together.

Nola is a LOVE muffin. She was very socialized with humans and canines her first 12 months, but between 12-24 has shown a definite preference to humans. She is very active, but goes in spurts: 30-40 minutes active, then a very long nap. She's not much into fetch unless she can JUMP to catch a high bouncing ball... if it rolls away, she leaves it and comes back. Nola is a heavy, HEAVY chewer, but has NOT chewed up anything but the toys we give her. But, they can't be stuffed animals. They last less than 5 minutes. Very smart, only a few repetitions and she totally understands commands and activities like going through the dog door.

Hudson is super affectionate & loves a good belly rub. She loves to run around with her favorite ball in her mouth & hates when you beat her to the ball. She is great with other dogs & will roll on her back to ask for a belly rub when she meets people or sees the vet!

Aya is very keen. She is intelligent and understands what I’m telling her to and not to do. She is still learning to pee outside properly and not on my rug. Lol She does understand that is she must relieve herself, I told her to stand by the door whenever she needs to go out, she has now done so. She also started answering the door with me when we have a visitor or the mail man arrives. She prefers to sleep with me and not my kids. But I understand. Haha. She is overall very happy and she loves when we go on walks and when I’m ready to leave. Because she is still small, I hold her when we go out to the store. I bring her in with me. She is afraid of unknown spaces and shivers when we go into the store unless I’m holding her she feels better. When we walk through the forest she especially enjoys it the most. She is want to my girls, and they play with her a lot. Sometimes they can be a bit much when she is trying to sleep, so I do let them know to leave her alone. She’s patient about it, will run to my room. Haha. Lay on my bed. If she is hungry or thirsty, she barks at me to let me know. I put her food down, she devours it and when she is ready before the time for me to refill, she always lets me know. Its gotten easier to sense her needs and she does express them. She is very adorable and I love her so much. My girls do too. There are plenty of us that take her outside. And sometimes she likes to be on the porch, she will just sit and look around. For her age, she is very intelligent. I couldn’t replace her. :)

ok so Oreo is...special. like he definitely has something mental going on that's a result of shelterhood. but like he is still the love of my life. i gave him hospitable not because he's like aggressive or anything to people, he honestly will freak out with excitement when anyone walks in. but then once he's sniffed and such he's just like "yeah ok" and goes back to what he was doing haha. he likes to pretend he's the big tough guy, but lowkey he likes napping on me and my dad (that's as close as we get to cuddles haha). he is so loyal though and literally does not leave our side--we tried to let him run free in a football field once and he just stood by us like "are y'all coming or?" i love Oreo with my whole entire heart and soul and i am so so so so glad that we adopted him four years ago. i cannot imagine my life now without him. when i am able to get my own dog, i want either a labrabull or a pit. and it's all because of Oreo :)

Our lazy Lola girl. We rescued her at 4 weeks old and had to bottle feed her. She is the most loyal and smart dog, we've ever had. I have a medical condition and she is always by my side. She adores her people. Lola was fairly easy to house train, it took a few months to get her fully trained, but once she got it, she got it. She is extremely smart, and knows a ton of commands and "tricks" She hates birds, squirrels, and rabbits in her yard. She fully patrols it, and will chase everything out of her area lol. If she sees a deer in the yard, she chases it to the perimeter of the property, then pranced her happy butt right back up to the deck lol. She likes to sun bath, sleep, and steal her brothers' cookies hahah. Lola is petite at around 40 lbs and she isn't very tall. She actually looks like a mini black lab but with a strong face and chest. Lola is currently laying on her back on her little brother's lap, snoring away. I am so happy that we rescued our lazy smart girl. She definitely chose us, and has been the perfect princess in a house full of boys lol. We're a military family and have moved around a lot in the last few years, she has done extremely well with the changes, and enjoys car rides. Now that we are finally in our last destination you can really tell that she knows this is our forever home, hence the chasing away birds from the yard.... I'm sure she will get a squirrel one day... Enjoy your labrabulls, they are perfection. My girl is.

I rescued her from the local shelter, kinds doubtful thought she was a bit big for a 3 mnth old puppy. I fell in love with her hazel eyes & pit looks. She could really harm something with her size now. She is about 4 foot tall if she's on 2 feet and close to 90 lbs.

Diesel my 6 year old labrabull is a great dog I've had some experience with him being aggressive but only towards strangers never with kids he has seizures here and there maybe at most 4 a year he is a high energy dog but also chill and he likes to just lay on my legs under the blanket. He is a really fast runner and before I had a fenced in backyard he would run off until I caught him one night I couldnt find him until the next morning, some issues with other Male dogs but that may be on me because when he was young he didnt play with many other dogs other than my moms dog but he doesnt attack every Male dog only when they run up to him and he is more of an alpha Male so he will check another dog and if they "challenge" him then the problems come and he is a good attack dog or hunt dog

He is a sweet loveable labrabull. He loves to play with our amstaff and 2 pitbulls, 1 of which is his mom. He throws himself down to give them access to his legs since he is so much bigger. He gets a rope just to play tug of war and will play keep away. Its a race to the door when I am trying to leave and has separation anxiety if im gone to long. One of his favorite things is to be vaccumed with the hose. He will literally knock me over if im not careful to get vaccumed.

She was left in my yard when she was about 6 weeks old. I decided to keep her and I'm glad I did. She's so much fun and really easy to take care of. She was housebroken within 2 wks. She's very loving, except with stranger's. Now that she is almost 6 month's old, she doesn't seem to be a little goofy puppy when we go on our walks. She's a big girl.... 18 inches tall and 40 lbs. She has pure muscle, no fat at all. She loves chewing on cold raw carrots and fresh bones I buy for her from a BBQ restaurant. She's spoiled, too. He filtered water has to have ice in it and she will not drink out of the waterhose. She's pretty funny. I would recommend this breed to anyone.

By far the best dog breed I've come across. EXTREMELY intelligent. He has more than 150 words he recognizes and completely understands. He even knows when we spell T-R-E-A-T to go to the kitchen and sit by his treat dish. We got him at 5 weeks which is young but I wouldn't have it any other way. He was fully house trained in 2 days and that is not exaggerating. He peed on the pad one time in the house and after that, he has never had another indoor 'accident'. He LOVES to swim and is quite the long jumper off our pontoon. He can fly up to 15 feet! I taught him to climb the ladder on our pontoon 1 time at 6 months old and he's done it on his own ever since. He loves long walks and when properly exercised daily, he will sleep like it's his job! Labrabulls are loyal, loving and affectionate dogs that once trained properly will give you such joy and happiness!

He's very hard headed and is still potty training which is so tough. He also can't be allowed to roam because he runs off and doesn't listen to commands telling him to stop or come. Overall... We love him so much but he is definitely hard work. You need patience for this breed but other than that he is the silliest, goofy, and lovable dog ever.

Very sweet and affectionate dog. He is good with new people coming to visit so long as we take him outside to meet the new person first and once he sees the owners are comfortable he calms down. We are so glad we took him in as he has become the newest member of our family!

Rogue was brought to us by my husbands friend at work when she was 4 weeks old. Putting her on a heating pad so that she would stay warm. So little. Now, she is 90lbs and just a big baby. Follows husband around wherever he goes and is so amazing with our kids. I wouldn't trade her for the world. Rogue does have a little aggressiveness in her but, only toward strangers. That is our fault for not socializing her more when she is little. But, it's my opinion that what is a big dog good for if it's going to run away from people they don't know instead of standing up for themselves.

Lula is a rescue that came from a 'hoarder' with many other dogs. We are working with her and her fear of other dogs. She is so sweet and gentle. Amazing with people and our grandchildren from day one! We have progressed a lot with her fear of even another dog barking and now are going for daily walks. Because of her background, we are teaching her how to play. She was lucky to be rescued to an amazing shelter that worked on her manners! She such a good dog and will play ball with our 2 and 3 year old granddaughters, but not with us (the girls are more fun!). She's not a big barker, but loves to nap!!! She brought so much love into our house after the loss of my 17 year old English Setter.

We have a Labrabull of which the dad is Lab x Golder Retriever. High energy 4 month old puppy! Loves people and other dogs. Tend to ignore his owners when there are other dogs to play with.😂 Is really busy for about 2 hours a day, but quite laidback the rest of the time. Also able to keep himself busy (with chew toys and playing with his large teddy bear). We leave him home for half of the day (with a big bone and a Kong) and he has only really destroyed some succulents (not extremely destructive). SO EASY to train. Was house-broken by 12 weeks and was able to sit at 6 weeks. 😀 Loves to cuddle when it's not to warm. Absolutely adore this puppy! He can be kinda crazy - I have since learned that the term is rambunctious! Like he will jump off high places without thinking 🥴 and gets super excited when people/dogs visit.

I was really wary about bringing Layla home. I have a 14 year old chihuahua and work a full time job outside of school while living in a two bedroom two story apartment. I don’t have a lot of free time and not a lot of space. But she was a rescue and I couldn’t just leave her. So I decided it was better than leaving her. Where she was picked up, there were hundreds of strays and they get hit often with no concern or a second glance. The vet say she wouldn’t have lasted another week because she was the runt and hadn’t been with her mom in weeks. She was only 6 weeks when I found her. So far she has been the brightest and smartest dog I have ever experienced. She is so eager to learn. Hard to punish though. She does not take negative reinforcement well at all. She hates being scolded and will literally run and hide. She sees my ancient chihuahua as a chew toy which has caused a rift with the two so I keep them separated for the most part which I hate. But I can’t do anything about it at the moment. She’s a big food driven dog and has a ton of energy. If you DONT take them on walks often they WILL destroy your house. Learned the hard way. She kennel trained within a week at 7 weeks. She was sitting, staying, shaking, releasing, and laying down by command at 8 weeks. Now she is struggling a bit with the leash training and obedience as far as where “no” is concerned. Overall she is a well behaved and well tempered dog. I’ve had no aggression whatsoever. She’s so kind and loving. And I know she wants to please. She’ll be going to safety training soon to be my guard dog since I do live alone. And I can 100% guarantee she’ll come back on a new level of protective and obedient. I have never seen a dog like this and heard so many people say the same about this mix.

I’ve only had him for 1 week but he’s already warmed up to me and I’ve even been able to teach him a few basic tricks.

We are 1st time dog owners. We got Duke from the pound. It has been the best experience ever. He is kind and loving and a true joy. A very social animal he wants to be friends with all creatures. Couldn't have asked for a better pup!

We found Wyatt at the rescue shelter as a puppy. Our college-aged son fell for him. Brought him home and he adapted to us quickly. Our first puppy so we were learning how to house train along with him. At 18 mos., he has boundless energy and just loves to run like a crazy race dog around our back yard. We wondered if there was greyhound in him! After some rudimentary training in walking, he has become a great running partner. So friendly to all but is very nervous around large dogs. He has a lot of jaw strength when we do tug-of-war!
