Hi everyone. I also posted this in the welcome and announcement section which I see now may have been the wrong place, so apologies!! Just wanted to introduce myself before I start posting! I'm from the South West of England, UK and I have an 11 month old fox red Labrador called Penny. I'm a first time dog owner but I have worked in rescue kennels for the last 7 years and have probably seen almost everything there is to see in terms of medical conditions, neglect and abuse of dogs and behavioural problems. I hope my experience can be of use to some of you, in the same way I hope to learn from your experiences too!
Re: Hello from the UK Hi and welcome to the forum. I am a fellow fox red lab owner, puzzle who is 6 months old. I also own barley a 5 year old crossbreed mongrel thingy. Barley has several medical issues and behavioral issues, he is a rescue and a very difficult one, but he is still a great companion. I am Suffolk, so a fellow UK member.

Re: Hello from the UK Thanks for the welcome. I would be happy to help in any way possible, if I can!
Re: Hello from the UK Welcome to the forum. My wife and I live in South Wales with our 14 month old yellow lab called Holly. We can see SW England out the back window so I guess that makes us neighbours!

Re: Hello from the UK I have to say I'm liking this forum already! I'm a member of another Labrador forum, however it's very quiet and people rarely respond to posts. Thank you all for the warm welcome!
