means A friendly, sturdy breed of retriever dog, famous for being gentle, trainable, and perpetually hungry.

from Named after the Labrador region of Canada, though the breed itself was actually developed in Newfoundland, not Labrador proper — early versions worked alongside fishermen, retrieving nets and catch from icy water. English breeders refined the dog in the 1800s into the retriever we know today. So the name is a bit of a geographic mix-up, inherited and never corrected, much like calling a dish by the wrong region it supposedly came from.
