There apparently are Lab Strains that do point, and some Labs in the US are sold as having a pointing gene. The breeders do not guarantee that...
I mostly agree, but I view my Malamutes bite as a real bite. He was not trying to kill me, but he definitely wanted to tell me to stop and he...
Maybe we should include folks who are pretty confidant that their dogs would never bite a friend/family member, except perhaps in extreme...
Because Labs are still the most popular dog in the US, we read that they are responsible for a significant percentage of dog bites, though I...
I've often wondered how dogs figure out what they can chew and what they should not. Both of our Lab pups chewed up things they weren't supposed...
Cooper was about 54# at 6 months, though she was 22" at the withers. She is 75-80# now and close to 25" Tall lanky gun dog, she is much like her...
Cooper decided that she did not want to walk down the entry road into our neighborhood part way through this winter. No idea why. We are working...

Our dogs were allowed on the sofa, though we put a cover over the one one in living room, since the fabric had an open weave. Cooper is often...

I'm just suggesting that dog shampoos may not be all that mild either. The one in question was a Top Paws Gentle Tearless Puppy Shampo. It did...
Not sure I agree that dog shampoo is typically milder. We had a large supply of supposedly very mild puppy shampoo in the bathroom. I tried it...
