labs and people go together like chocolate syrup and ice cream. you can't get a better all round dog. i've never seen a mean one. but they can be very protective especially with children they have bonded with.

i had a black lab that if anybody messed with my kids would bristle up and looked like a razorback hog if someone made a threatening move around them.

they are intelligent and will bust their backside to please. they take minimal training, their instincts are natural. pick pups that are interested in people. especially the ones that run right up to the kennel fence or wall when you first approach them.

some are specifically bred to point but i don't know how prevelent they are. mine didn't point but he would push birds and if you train them properly they will work at whatever range you want them too. they have great noses.

they are a great choice for a house and family dog. i loved mine.

good luck.
