Ours have never destroyed a Black Kong. They are both power chewers, but they don't really chew on kongs that much. Mostly just to get treats...
We have a pair like that hanging up in our cabin. They came from Alaska, and I think they are bit longer. There is a huge turn up at the front,...
We very seldom bath either of our dogs. If we do, we just go in the shower with them, and use the shower head on the hose along with the...
Cooper is a big (not fat Lab) at 85# but she only gets about 2.75 cups per day. Our older lab who weighs 65# only gets slightly less than 2 cups/day,
I used to spend time on a diabetic dog mail list, and there was no rhyme or reason why some dogs became diabetic. With Ginger, it just came on...
I've never seen Xylitol in peanut butter. Is that a UK thing?
We only crated our pups at night. During the day time they were in a pen in the kitchen most of the time. We had (still have) a nice pet gate in...
Cooper's first major trip was with the Breeder who traveled all the way across Oregon (390 miles) with two Lab Pups in the cab of their Truck. We...

We have two mattress style in the bedroom and one mattress style and one crate in the kitchen. The crate is never closed, and the sides are...
Among Fabric toys, the Tuffy brand seems to hold up the best for us. Both of our dogs will shred most plush toys, or play tug of war and tear...
We have had 3 Chocolate females and while they were all great dogs, they had different personalities. Cooper is the most cuddly (and biggest) dog...
Tilly is getting to that point. Most of the time she puts her front feet up and we lift her butt into the car. Occasionally we have to lift her...
10 is a pretty low dose for a 120 lb dog. Ginger was 80 lbs and IIRC she got 18 2x per day. The vet will always want to start low and work up to...
Just out of curiosity, how big is Teddybear, and how much insulin is he on? Usually the appetite comes back with the regulation. Did you...
Are these the huge European boars from Russia and Eastern Europe? We had those in Eastern Tennessee, and they were considered a very dangerous...
One of our friends has a Guard Llama to protect his few sheep and goats from Coyotes. His Lab and the Llama are not at all fond of each other. I...
Our dogs, especially Cooper will leave Nylabones on the stairs some times. Really have to pay attention going down the stairs to the family room....
Good luck with Teddybear. Diabetes is a pain, but it is something you can deal with. Our first Lab, Ginger, became diabetic at 12 yrs. She...
Bernese are very popular here. Actually I think too popular, since I don't really see the attraction.
