Having him castrated will not stop boisterous behaviour. It will not stop him guarding food. It will not stop him barging water bowls, nor pulling...
It's easy to get 0:0 hips these days in Labradors.... I'd go for as low as possible, and rule out anything above 5 in a single hip. I also double...
Sorry, @snowbunny that wasn't a comment on Luna's CoI which isn't a sky high one anyway - it was just a reply that came after your post! :)
The breed average or lower. You can take a risk on it. I did with my first pup. He had cruciate disease. That removed my appetite for taking a...
The other thing to say is that - unfortunately - if you look for a top line show or working line kennel, you have to be very careful with the...
Health tests are absolutely essential for the parents - although you had a bad experience with a puppy not in the best early health, that's...
There is an article here that might help: http://www.thelabradorsite.com/dog-car-sickness/
The dog you link to is a show line dog - in theory. Jim Joy breed Labradors in quite high numbers - you can see that there is no mention of actual...
It's probably worse when the man is moving - there is some research that suggests one of the reasons some shy dogs are afraid of men (and not so...
Betsy is much harder on toys than Charlie - I don't really buy 'soft' toys much at all though. There are a few tuffy toys around, left over from...
You have a 5 month old puppy, on lead on walks, and now on lead or restricted in the garden? She must be going out of her mind. Is there really...
Well, for a start, I'd completely relax about her picking up leaves, mulch, sticks, pine cones and so on. Most retrievers do this. Don't sweat...
It's absolutely fine to put an over excited puppy in a crate. Best thing to do with them. So long as you do it gently, and leave them with a kong...
It depends. You can expect the puppy to have some characteristics of the parents - but the parents being champions is no guarantee that you will...
Write out a routine for Corona. Make sure that in it she has enough walks, play and training. But also put in slots for you called 'break from the...
That's a shocking thing to do, to leave a tiny baby pup alone all day.
Charlie wuvs me! I know he does....I wuv him too. I wuv him to bits! Betsy! [img]C&B1 by julieandcharlie julieandcharlie, on Flickr
Hello there, Perhaps you should consider the question: why put a puppy in a crate? One answer is to keep the puppy safe (and your house safe)...
I hope he is better soon. Maybe just skip the peanut butter altogether. It's always struck me as a bit of a mad thing to feed to dogs. And the...
Funny that, isn't it? :D
