Cooper's Guard coat is probably longer than Tilly's was, but I think you are right that her coat is not as thick. Cooper seems to get cold...
I'm with Jo. We never treat for fleas, and we never have them. I would only treat if we found them. We did have fleas with a Kitty one time,...
I recall a few years ago, someone suggested that Field Style dogs sometimes (often) had a single coat. I just wondered what a single coat would...
Does he have any dog friends that he has been around a lot in the past. Meeting them might help him get more comfortable. We dog sit a friends...
Cooper is almost 5 now, and is an American Field style Lab. Tall with a two tennis ball mouth, and very fast. She was very bitey when she was a...
Is it possible that he drank enough salt water while retrieving to get his system out of balance. Years ago, on Tillys first trip to the beach...
If you can shower them without soap, it should not cause any problem. Our dog(s) almost never get a bath with soap, but swimming in salt water...
That is more than I would expect to pay in the States. Cooper was $1000 or $1200 6 years ago, and I still see ads in that range. She is a field...
I tried CBD for shoulder pain after I did a partial rotator cuff tear. I was hoping it would help me sleep. I could not see any affect from just...
We have never brushed any of our dogs teeth. They chew a lot, and destroy soft toys. We have never had a dental problem with any of 5 dogs.
They don't all snore. Tilly did, Ginger and Cooper did/do not. Cooper is pretty good about moving when you ask her to. Seems to understand...
I have never heard a recommendation not to brush a Lab. Most of us don't bath them on a regular basis. Swimming, especially in salt water will...
We say Labs shed 2x per year, each time for 6 months :eek:. It is worse in the Spring and Fall, but it goes on all year. A lot of brushing and a...
A lot of dogs are worse on lead than off. I'm not sure how you can find out though. We dog sit a Sammy that is terrible on lead but fine off...
We bought one of the inflatable collars for Cooper when she was spayed, but ending up not needing to use it. Even though she had a pretty big...
If I had a choice I would prefer that Cooper slept on her dog bed in the bedroom, but she normally prefers to sleep on our queen sized dog bed....
Cooper is not afraid of the TV, but she goes nuts when there are Dogs on TV. She does not react to live dogs, just to dogs on the TV. (Sometimes...
Only if you want a permanent Lab bed companion. We are going to go from a Queen size to a King because of Cooper. My SO let her come back to bed...
We are partial to tennis balls because you can throw them a lot further with a Chucker. If you go swimming your dog will probably go with you....
FWIW, I would never buy Large biscuits of any brand. We often break the small ones in two, just to get more treat/train value from them.
