Some Labs seem to have a pointing gene, but I don't think it is unique to Field Dogs. People who hunt upland birds often look for Labs from...
We did this with Ginger when it was time. It was certainly easier on us and her.
Are you sure she FELL in. If it was one of our dogs she would have JUMPED in. You can't keep a good Lab dry.
Did something specific bring French Bulldogs to every ones attention in the UK? In years past in the US, The TV shows Lassie and RinTinTin...
We have to treat Tilly's ears on a pretty regular basis. Sometimes cleaner, and sometimes anti-bacterial. She has had yeast infections from an...
Ours had free run by 6 months, but they didn't chew up shoes etc either. I might decrate, but I think a puppy pen or pet gate would still be...
I just looked at the AKC Ratings. In 2016, the French Bulldog was in 6th place behind Labradors, GSDs, Golden Retrievers Bulldogs and Beagles....
It is a huge amount of work, and the dog is only useful if they are stationed at the top of the mountain all day. The continued training...
How long have you had him? It looks like about 3 months? I think I would try gradually increasing crate time, initially while you were home...
We tried to get her focused on that but she was more interested in catching snowballs:rolleyes:. I think she could be trained to be an Avy...

I can't imagine a dog managing to eat a loaf of bread without tearing the bag open. When Tilly gets into something like that she shreds the bag....
Welcome to the World of Counter Surfers. Tilly is a Gold Medalist. Two loves of French Bread at one time. A whole 12 Pack of English Muffins....
We are having an on going issue with Tilly our older Lab. She is pretty much deaf so speaking to her has very little effect. As she has...
Last Saturday I was one of 4 instructors for a Level 1 Avalanche Class. (Snow Science/Companion Rescue etc) I decided to take Cooper on the...
We stay in motels and hotels with Tilly and Cooper when we travel by car. Most all the places we stay require that you never leave the dog alone...
All of our labs have been powerful chewers and destroyers of plush toys. None of them have ever had plaque issues and our vet has never...
Garmin units are mostly used on hunting dogs, especially hounds that range widely. People who hunt with hounds often want to go to the dog,...
I kind of wish I could clone Cooper. From a raucous beginning she has turned into a super dog.
Garmin makes units that do what you want, but they are expensive. My dogs stay close enough that I don't worry about it, but I have been around...
