All of our Labs have loved water and swimming. We started our two pups at 9 or 10 weeks in shallow water wading, and then went to lakes with...
Two of our friends use muzzles on their Sammies to stop them from barking. They put the muzzle on if the dog is barking incessantly, and then...
Depending on what style of Lab you want, I would ask about the parents Hunting or Field Trial Titles, or Show Titles. We prefer the Field Style...
Dogs are family, Cats have staff.
Years ago I had a Malamute that would guard a fresh meaty bone. He bit me once when I ignored his warnings, though it was just enough to get me...
Our Labs are fine, and never complain about being in the wayback behind the Pet Barrier, but our neighbor has had two Sammies, that bark almost...
Any News??
Our two look so different that some people don't believe they are the same breed.
I also agree. We do on lead walks, but much prefer to let them off lead and run around and explore, or play ball. Ours are much better on lead,...
We had a diabetic Lab, Ginger. She became diabetic at 12, and lived very well until 16. As you are probably aware dogs are almost always Type 1...
Ginger was short of breath and made a wheezing noise. I think you would notice it more with exercise than when quiet. If your pup is not sort of...

Both dogs seem to be doing just fine. Just to be sure we are in the clear, we will do a follow up blood test on Tilly early next week. We will...
Could be, though the places we rented were rented out most of the time. They did not sit idle often. We often heard that petty theft and pick...
Cooper and Tilly are good "Watch Dogs". They let us know when anyone comes up to the house and they sound pretty ferocious, until the door is...
Your description of Ziggy could have been of Cooper. She acts much like that and she marks everything. She is more interested in playing ball...
I used to wonder why anyone would steal a dog, since the dog would be bonded with the original owner. Then we rescued Ginger at 4 yrs old, and...
Tilly and Cooper both seem to be doing fine. We had a great beach day on Sunday[ATTACH] [ATTACH] As is normal, Cooper is never standing still.
Hopefully it won't get worse, but even if it does, most completely blind dogs get around quite well, much better than humans. Our first Lab,...
Our first Lab, Ginger had Laryngeal Paralysis when she was 14. She had the surgery and lived until 16. The surgery was less traumatic than we...
