When I announced I was getting a Labrador everyone nodded wisely and told me what good steady dogs they were. Now I've got a Labrador puppy they cackle with glee and tell me "you'll have your work cut out for you". what changed She is definitely lively, but she is quick to catch on. At 11 weeks teeth are more in evidence than I would like, bit I don't call it biting as there is absolutely no malice of aggression behind it.
Re: They have changed their tune Nothing has changed - the common theme is that people want to be seen as the expert ;D You will have the following conversation for many years: Stranger: Lovely dog, how old is she? You: Thankyou. She's X years old. Stranger: Oh, she'll be a handful till she's X+4 years at least.
