Thanks for asking your GD group - I'll be really interested to hear the replies you get. Interesting that you find him stubborn as I'd always...
Just when I thought I'd given up the hunt for "my" breed and was ready for the hunt for a breeder, I've been charmed by Mags' Bruce and want to...
Great update - glad to hear Stanley's doing so well!
Sending you lots of sympathy - I don't do well at the stern/assertive thing either. I just don't like bossing anyone around, humans or dogs,...
Rottie people always say, 'Don't forget to bend your knees!". Keeps your centre of gravity lower and if they do slam into you, there's less...
Poor Homer and poor you! :-( Most people on the street are so lovely with dogs, but you always get the occasional complete idiot who feels he...
That's really interesting... it must be really hard for both the person and the dog to make the transition. Brogan was precisely 11 when he...
Since you have a lot of experience with both, what do you think are the biggest differences between Labs and GRs? I don't think a GR would be for...
Really interesting thread and a lot of inspiration for me here as one of my chief concerns in making the switch from Rottweiler to Labrador is...
Thanks - I'll give it a go when (in the depressingly far future) I get a new pup. It's funny that Brogan just kind of learned this on his own. I...
Yes, that is 100% my favourite photo of them ever, though I must have thousands. I love that Brogan looks SO innocent yet has the tiniest bit of...
Really interesting thread - please do let us know how you get on. Brogan also had this problem, mainly around thunder (he didn't hear it until we...
Here we go, Brogan and Mama Jodhi in their full best buds glory (now that I've sorted out how to post a photo instead of just a link)[ATTACH] :...
Yeah! Go Quinn, go! :-)
Brogan being tested on his "bring object" task during his Service Dog test. Can you tell from the look in his eyes how much he hated having that...
Heh, the hardest thing was to get my dog to put something in his darn mouth for more than 2 seconds. Rottweilers are NOT fond of retrieving. An...
Yep! :happyfeet: (Sorry, I just love that penguin and must use him whenever the occasion arises!)
Hi Karen, I replied to you privately, but just wanted to put this out there as a correction of sorts - I went back to the breeder's website and...
Thanks, Karen. That makes sense. As I said, now that I've 95% decided that my next pup will be Lab (this summer was about choosing a breed, not a...
Thank you! He is a truly lovely dog, nice to know he comes from a good kennel as well. By the way, I did not mean to imply that because he comes...
