My first dog after growing up was Malemute, Probably not a good choice for a first time dog. He was ok around other dogs and people, but you...
Our next door neighbor on Mt Hood used to have a GSD named Ginger (Same as our dog) which hated all other dogs and would attack. She got our...
Because Cooper normally does not bark much, the Clicker training would be difficult. I would be handing out treats most all of the time. I...
Many of you may know that Bill Clinton's dog Buddy was a Chocolate Lab. Supposedly this was because after the M.L. issue his spin doctors wanted...
It seems to me that Chocolate labs are a lot more common on this forum than they are in the US population. Is this representative of the UK or...
Our older Lab, Tilly has always barked at passers by and people coming to the door. Our previous Lab did the same thing, and I actually like it....
When Cooper was a younger Pup, we thought she might be the worlds first Base Jumping Lab. (Think Dumbo) They are still big and silky, but don't...
Cooper definitely has the Lab double coat and the most Otter tail of any of our 3 Labs. Her guard coat is longer than Tilly's and coarser. She...
Thanks. I had not picked that up in the standard. Most field dogs do have a significant tuck up at the waist. Perhaps that is why most of the...
I'm curious about what in the US standard encourages overweight dogs? I do see some very large Labs, some over 120 lbs, but not necessarily fat,...
I don't think that is true in the US. "Guide Dogs For The Blind" has their own Lab Line.
Health concerns aside, I would never cross breed two dogs, unless I knew that there was an actual demand for the cross, and probably not even...
Our second Lab, Tilly, is a mix. Her dad was an American style Field Trial Champion, and her mom was an English style Master Hunter. Tilly took...
Cooper has pretty straight back legs. Much more than either of our previous labs. She is a tall dog anyway, and if her head is down, her butt...
[ATTACH] Cooper and Tilly are both 10, Cooper 10 months and Tilly 10 years.
I used to be a home brewer, but since the Micro Revolution, I've been letting other people brew beer for me. Some of you may know that one of...
Is the retractable a Flat Lead or a Cord? I would be very careful with a Lab on a retractable cord anywhere. I have gotten a bad rope burn from...
I think Labs tend to like other labs or dogs that look and behave similar to Labs. All of ours have been like that, but they would play with...
Since we tend to think of our dogs as furry Kids with 4 legs. We are probably a lot more permissive:rolleyes:. Ours are allowed on some of the...
I would not expect to see dogs off lead in many places in a US City, although small towns you might or in parks (not dog parks). None of our...
