6:8 hips are not horrific, but there are so many Labradors being bred, that personally I wouldn't risk it and would wait for a litter from parents...
Usually it's quite the opposite, submissive dogs do not tend to get into trouble. HOWEVER, if she is not comfortable with off lead dogs running up...
I wouldn't bother with pants, the girls tend to keep themselves clean. They should be OK together for a few days yet, then only together...
We have 3 'parts' to our garden. The bottom two areas are no-piddle zones! The boys are all taught to pee on command ("hurry up"). If they were to...
It seems like you have pretty much made your mind up that you want to go. The only puppies that I have trained (I am a gundog trainer in the UK)...
While I can understand that they don't want her to be bred from, yes, it can be really bad spaying puppies so young. Sex hormones are needed from...
I'm not sure if she's wining now that you are home all day, but this is the perfect time to train her to be left alone. Pop her in a crate in...
You won't be able to tell by just looking at him. I assume you saw him with his mother? Do you ave the correct paperwork for the puppy with the...

Time and patience. Set up a covered crate for her to use as her den. While it's tempting to try to coax her out and keep going to her, leave her...
Can you forget the ramps for the time being and just play with her toys nearby?
I have never tried to measure the height of a labrador puppy, but images of juggling with wet bars of soap spring to mind :D
I have found lock-down perfect for socialising my puppy. The biggest bonus is that no-one is allowed to touch her so I haven't had to worry about...
Will your puppy be fully vaccinated at least a week before the first class? To be honest this whole thing sounds like an utter nightmare. Imaging...
I currently have 5 females and 5 intact males. There is no humping.
A couple of my dogs have had it over the years and I now always make a point of drying their bums and tails when we get back to the car. Very...
Is she spayed? If so, personally I would get a boy :-) Bitches usually get on fine, but if they don't they can be really nasty.
Just my thoughts for what it's worth. I would definitely only buy a KC registered labrador. The reason being that I can not only check the...
