At 7 weeks Tilly was 7.5 lbs and at 15 weeks 27 lbs. She weighs about 64 lbs now She is a fairly small Lab. At 7 Weeks Cooper was 5.5 lbs and at...
We had the same dilemma, and waited until after Coopers first season. Having a puppy in heat was not much of a problem. We just had to stay away...
We have a large fenced back yard with a dog door so they can go in and out at will. Tilly normally only goes out to go to the bath room or with...
My SIL has one for her Plotz Hounds. When our Labs are there, they empty it so fast that we need to fill it quite often. I think it is easier...
Your National Parks are more dog friendly than ours. In the US dogs, even on leashes are only allowed in the developed areas not on the...
We have used rawhide for years with all of our dogs. They can devour a 10" roll in a few hours. They are one of the main distractions we use if...
Not all Labs are ravenous eaters. Our first Lab would eat everything in the bowl as soon as we put it down. Tilly could be a free feeder,...
All of our female dogs hump dogs/people/things occasionally, so I don't think "fixing" them has much to do with the behavior.
How about it is associated with long life also. Ginger was so white she looked like a Hereford. White face, chest, paws etc. But she was 16....
We have most all of the different tools. A furminator seems to mostly pull out the under coat, and Zoom n Groom seems to work more on the guard...
Coopers first cycle was almost a non event, but there weren't in intact male around. Part of the problem is that you don't know the female pup...
Our county charges a lot more for a license for fertile dog than one that is spayed or neutered. If I weren't planning on breeding, I would spay...
That would work for Tilly, but maybe not for Cooper. I often toss her the second treat but sometimes she will still put the first one down on the...
I see a lot of references to Foxes and Fox poo on this site. It made me wonder how common are foxes in the UK. Is it quite common to see one?...
Looks like our Marmots that we see in the Cascades Mountains are either Yellow Bellied or Hoary, both are high altitude animals and larger than...
Just curious how many of you have had labs that had fatty tumors? What was your experience? Our first two labs have had them. Gingers were...
Groundhogs and Wood Chucks are the same, Marmots are related, but a little different. Based on our experience there is also a larger version...
Drinking a lot of water and peeing a lot, (not just marking) is one of the signs of Diabetes. Our first Lab, Ginger, became diabetic at 12 years....
We crated both of our pups at night, but typically in the day time they were in a puppy pen in the kitchen. We only crated them at night while...
We have always looked for health certificates, and also field or hunting titles for both the sire and dam. I don't see a good reason to pay...
