I have two Labs that have no problem sharing the water bowl. What is funny is that I normally put down two water bowls just to make sure they...
I don't mind a dog barking some, but I would like to train them to stop on command. Tilly barks when she wants something, though it is not...
Just an interesting observation. If we step in dog poo, it sticks to our shoes. If a Lab steps in dog poo, it usually does not stick. It is...
Runts don't necessarily grow up to be small dogs. It has to do with their place in the food chain, before they are born. Cooper weighed 6.5 lbs...
Maybe, Maybe not. Cooper was a dervish when she was younger, but is a hugger now. She is still very active, but in the evening curls up on...
+1 Our 1st and 3rd Labs loved having their head petted and their ears rubbed. Our 2nd Lab does not like having her ears and face petted or...
Tilly has always had droopy lower lids. They make her look a little sad, like a blood hound, but don't really cause a problem. We do put drops...
Tilly gets Derramaxx when she limps a lot. I try to minimize the use, but she does need it when she is very active.
We don't normally bush our dog's teeth, and the vet has never suggested that we need to. They have all had great teeth and fresh breath. They...
In dogs also. Excessive water consumption and low energy are common symptoms of diabetes. A blood glucose test should rule it in or out. We...
I like having two dogs, and ours do play together sometimes. I think a bigger age gap than 8 months would be preferable. Ours are about 9...
We don't find that limber tail, aka cold tail needs to be treated in our labs. I htink all of them have had it one or two times after a lot of...
Our dogs don't get bathed, unless they get into something that stinks, which is uncommon. They do swim when they can, but actual baths are rare....
Both of our pups came home at about 49 days. I can't see any negative results from that, but of course every dog is different.
I don't have a problem with Labs being bred as pets, since that is what most of them are here. We looked for dogs with hunting or field titles,...
Often the problem with litter mates is that they are bonded with each other so much that they don't listen well, making them harder to train, and...
I usually use a leash in our neighborhood, but there are some open fields around where I normally let them off, even if it is technically not...
7 weeks is the Norm for Labs in the US. IIRC less than 7 weeks is a no no on the website.
Our first Lab, Ginger, raised 2 kittens, and they always got along. When we got Tilly, the remaining cat got along fine with her. They would...
We have always had a dog door into a fenced back yard. Once the pups were house broken and could be trusted not to destroy the house (Too...
