Tilly is a Teetotaler so she would have Cheese and Crackers. Cooper would have the beer. Cooper would be watching Animal Planet, Tilly would...
Some of you may recall the Halloween Candy incident a few weeks ago, when our pups got into the pantry and ate 1/2 a bag of candy. The Pantry has...
I would look for breeders that tell you about the parents accomplishments or awards. We have gone for pups who's parents had hunting (Jr Hunter,...
Our Labs are both very vigorous chewers, but have never destroyed a black Kong. We don't usually freeze them though.
Our Sammy owning neighbor wanted Cooper to sit on her lap when she was a puppy. That worked OK for about a month, and then Cooper said enough....
Our dogs are our dishwashers pre clean cycle. The routinely get small amounts of onion, if there is any remaining on the dishes, and it has never...
That has not been our experience, but every dog is different. Ours destroy their toys, but not our stuff. When Cooper was younger, books and...
Cooper and Tilly normally don't chew up Tennis Balls, but if they do they don't eat them. We are lucky that they don't swallow most of what they...
My first thought is a trip to the vet is in-order. Perhaps he has some injury that you did not see happen. Even really tasty snacks don't work...
I was visiting my inlaws in NW Missouri a couple of years ago and took our two for a walk at night. We went by a house that had a 42" chain link...
I'll probably get flamed for this, but I don't have any problem telling our dogs NO if they are doing something we don't want them to do,...
For the first week or so we took the pup(s) out several times a night so they plenty of opportunities to go outside. We did not have a lot of...
True that. Mine (especially Cooper) are a little rambunctious when they first meets people, and we have to control them, or put them in another...
I think the American style "Dog Parks" are a good place to start with this. Most all of the dogs will be reasonably well behaved, but some will...
With apologies to Causton CID, we live in "Labrador Drift". Air currents in the house seem to deposit in certain areas, although it is actually...
Tilly has a little kink in her tail. It would probably cost her points in the show ring, but not with us. I almost wish Cooper did. Her tail is...
My Malamute was an escape artist, who would go over, under or thru most any wood fence and even chewed thru a wire fence once. Our Labs are just...
I think socialization should include meeting lots of other dogs and people as well. When I was growing up we had a Rough Collie, who took...
Cooper is fine at the vet though maybe a little apprehensive. She is not too bad with shots which is a good thing. On the other hand they have...
Absolutely, as Snowbunny said, dogs need to run. Cooper is very fast, and just loves to run. If there is nothing else going on, she will run 50...
