I don't think carrying pups is common in the US either. All of ours have been on the ground from the time we got them. We carried them up and...
How effective is the Parvo Vaccine?
I'll give that a try. Cooper doesn't lunge at the brush, she just wants to get away.
7 Weeks is pretty much the norm for Labs in the US. It worked well for both of our pups.
Cooper has more different vocalizations than any dog I have owned. Maybe 5 or 6 different barks and a number of different whines. I wish she...
We have wolves in Oregon and Washington, but few people ever see them. Mostly ranchers in the Eastern side of the state, but we now have evidence...
I wish everyone would add their location to their profile. Different parts of the world have different products, and different problems. Ex....
I don't think Labs will drop off the Top Spot in the US anytime soon.
I think if your dog seems happy and not destructive, the current arrangement should work. Lots of dogs spend some hours alone everyday with no...
Does anyone else have dog that really does not like being brushed? Cooper is the first dog I've had that really objects to being brushed. It...
I don't think it is so much about exercise, as it is about attention. Our dogs don't get as much daily exercise as they should, but they do get...
Cooper did that once or twice when she was under a year. Not any more though. She and Tilly can wait "Impatiently", all day for food without...
There is no way I would restrict a dog from stairs for a year. Imagine trying to carry an 80# lab up and down a flight of stairs. Their hips...
I find that most parents around here, ask if their child can pet our dogs. We always say yes, since our Labs are fine with kids. When I...
Maybe we have just been lucky, but all of our Labs have been pretty good with kids, babies, and elderly folks. I don't think any of our Labs...
It was Cooper, not us:p. The pain med made her really loopy, and we cut the quantity way back from what was prescribed. I had to build a...
Keep us posted on Stanley's progress. It is really hard to keep an off lead dog from picking something up, especially if they are ranging away...
I would do this but my wife complains that the whistle hurts her ears. I can't use it anywhere near her. Fortunately Cooper has a great recall...
I wish she felt that way when she sleeps on the sofa in the living room. She is allowed on the sectional in the family room, and on our bed, but...
Tilly was 9 when we got Cooper at 7 weeks, and they were fine from the get-go. I wish we had gotten a pup when Tilly was younger, because Cooper...
