Looks like a great project. I'm glad you are younger than I am;). What is the elevation?
Cooper is about 18 days in, and she has no (sexual) interest in the neutered males, and they don't have much in her. They just run and chase like...
Tilly has ridden around Home Depot on one of the big flat bed carts a few times. Not because she did not want to walk, but we were worried about...
All of our Labs have been fine with kids, or anyone else they met. They might accidentally knock a small person down, but they would never bite....

We have a 6' cedar fence. The lower section is what we call a "good neighbor" fence with the vertical boards alternating sides. The top 18"...
I don't know if Tilly's mom had the disease, but she was definitely short. Even though she was a pretty big dog she would have been to short for...
We visited the kennel that Tilly came from several times before we picked her out. We did not know which pups were going to be available until...
It only took about 2 or 3 weeks to get Cooper to the point that she would sleep until about 6:00am. She sometimes complained about going back...
Tilly's mom had shorter than normal legs. She was a Master Hunter, but appeared to be more show than field stock. Tilly's dad was a tall...
Our first Lab "Ginger" was diabetic, and we frequented a website for Diabetic dogs and cats. Cushings was discussed quite a bit, I think because...
When Ginger had only been with us about a month (She was about 4 then) we were up at our cabin, and realized we could not find her. We had not...
