Our limited experience fit what is described as "Hunger Pukes" caused by a pups empty stomach being irritated by gastric juices. I happened to...
Our first Lab would howl. It started with a harmonica, but we could get her to howl with us. Tilly and now Cooper don't seem to understand the...
Tilly didn't seem to get a lot of stuff in her eyes because of the droopy lids. A number of breeds (think Blood Hound) normally have droopy lids.
We have been lucky I guess. None of our dogs seem to be (have been) upset when we left them alone. Cooper is a velcro dog sometimes when we are...
It is encouraged in the US, but I'm not sure I really see any reason for it. We have always spayed our female dogs, mostly so we did not have to...
IMHO pads are a bad idea. Get up and and take her out, preferably before she whines. It won't take too many weeks before she can make it all night.
We also just towel them off when they come in muddy. After a while a good brushing will finish the job. Our dog(s) normally get about a bath a...
Tilly always had droopy bottom eyelids, which made her look a little sad, but did no cause any real problems.
Cooper has a loud, high pitched, indoor bark that usually means she wants attention, but sometimes its not clear what she really wants. Asking...
Cooper chewed up a few things, mostly wood, when she was a pup, but she is 99.9% reliable now. She does destroy plush toys, but does not eat...
There are a couple of companies that make artificial antlers, that have ground antler in the nylon, so they aren't as hard. Nylabone is one...
I think some Labs are part Woodchuck. All of our Labs have occasionally chewed up sticks. It has never caused a problem, other than being a bit...
I understand that neutering typically has little effect on Labs behavior, so it is unlikely to help. Is he aggressive off lead or only on lead?
We had two Labs together for 4 years, and currently have Cooper and provide daycare for our neighbors Samoyed. Ours have always gotten along...
I used one that is a bit lighter, from Petco https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/precision-pet-black-ultimate-exercise-pens The...
+1 Ours only got baths very rarely, one or two a year at the most. Only if they got into something really stinky. Swimming in salt water makes...
Our second Lab, Tilly, always had droopy lower eyelids. They did not cause any problem, but did give her a bit of a blood hound look. They...
I'm no expert in Lab genetics, but I don't believe Dudleys have any impact on body shape. Field style Labs tend to have longer noses than bench...
You don't say how long you have had her. It is certainly not the behavior I would expect from a socialized pup that had been well treated. I...
I have used retractable leads in the past, though I don't really like them. They might work for your partner though. If you look for one, get...
