For me too it depends partly on how l intend to use the crate. I'm no longer a fan of crating for long hours and that includes overnight. If a...
Some other dogs and some owners don't like humping and will tell your dog off in very strong ways if he or she humps them or theirs. Humping...
LOL, Oban has a rotten, gay, banana tail. Gay means carried too high, banana is the curve some have, like a banana. I add in rotten because,...
What does your breeder say? And does he/she have a food recommendation? We didn't switch, puppy was weaned on to an All STages food which I...
Is he teething? There is some connection between teething and ears standing up. It happens in Labs, (not necessarily all Labs) I've seen many...
Aww gee whiz. Are you ok, no bruises, besides your ego? Don't know how many times I've been told, read that your expectation pup will behave can...
I did let mine meet other dogs that I knew. And down on the ground at places where few other dogs went. I am in a rural area though, and do have...

Ooh, black cat, my favourite. They can be very good friends, so nice to see.
My first Lab girl was like that, not as extreme. She was fine alone in the house no matter who left, when they left or who they left with. But...
I would try to puppy proof the things that might harm her or are precious to you. If she doesn't chew and swallow, none of mine did, then I leave...
Yes, too smart for your own good. At least that's how I felt when mine kept dropping the darn thing, hated the noise. I didn't know about...
Didn't use bedding for puppy for fear he would chew and swallow it. But when I took a fabric crate to Rally training I put a rubber backed mat...
Yikes, glad you caught up to him with no harm done. Good thing he had his collar on, just in case you didn't catch up to him, assuming it had ID...

My brother-in-law has that gene mutation too. :(
