I currently have 40 acres on the Colorado plains. I have no livestock, but there is occasionally cattle from adjoining property. I currently am thinking of getting a couple of Labs for our property and Family. My questions are: Should I get 2pups? Or 1 older and pup or wait? Also I am partial to males. Your thoughts, experiences or ideas would be appreciated. Also the dogs would be outside and inside Dependent on weather. The dogs would not be locked up in any kennels and Adults and Children would be present 24x7 Regards:
