We are starting the second half of a 4000 mile road trip. We drove back roads (at least not interstate) from Portland to NW Missouri including a...
Cooper often sleeps on the bed, Tilly rarely. We sometimes kick Cooper off if she takes up too much room. Sometimes she prefers her dog bed....
Unless it is a really big lake, river or the ocean, I would not worry about him especially if he is a Lab. They swim a lot better than most...
We play tug some times, but our dogs play it with each other even more often. It is Tilly's way to get Cooper to quit biting or chasing her...
We have a dog door at home so they will let us sleep in as long as we want, (more or less). Some times Cooper joins us in a rather boisterous...
I agree with your earlier post that 5 or 6 would be ideal. Tilly was 9 and 7 would have been better.
Tilly's first trip to the beach she drank some portion of the Ocean. Back at the car she threw up. Lots!. She never did it again. Dogs...
I think she is a very good looking girl. A little more of a block head than Cooper. Both of our Labs are Field Stock but Tilly looks more like a...
We got Cooper as a puppy when Tilly was 9. Tilly was OK but not thrilled. They played some, but Tilly kind of rolled her eyes and asked "Why...
Don't let her go to bed much before you do. Does he sleep in the same room with you. Most people seem to think that is the best arrangement....
With the AKC the breeder registers the litter, and the owner registers the dog. Some breeders request that a particular name be used in the AKC...
Our first Lab was a rescue and had a tendency to chase small animals. When our son was about 8 she dragged him across a gravel path on his hands...
Our neighbor with the Sammy feeds him (Loki) at the table with a fork. The same one she uses. I'm afraid all of our dogs have learned to use...
You know that her call name and AKC name don't have to relate to each other at all. You might look at her parents names for a suggestion. You...
We went for a long time with only one dog (at a time), and finally decided we would like to have a younger Lab to go with our 9 yr old Lab. I...
We have a good friend with a Samoyed, which often acts very aggressive to other dogs when he is on lead, but is fine with other dogs when he is...
Our second Lab, Tilly, was always a free feeder until we got Cooper. I don't recall what she did as a puppy, but when she was grown, she would...
Lab (and most gun dogs) were bred to get along with other dogs, so they tend to do better than some other breeds.
If you crate him in a relatively small crate at night he will try to avoid soiling it. With a little luck he will let you know when he needs to...
Maybe it is a US thing, but when I take our dogs to an off leash park I don't make any effort to keep them from meeting other dogs. They are...
