Hello! just found this site and I like what I am seeing! Sadly our 7 yeard old black lab female passed away on Jan 31st from Cancer and needless to say we were devastated because she was an amazing dog and wonderful companion! I waited a while before I realized life with-out a lab isn't the same and I miss the K9 connection. Happy to report that we have a Chocolate female coming home early May! Our other dog was a show-line Lab. This new addition will be a field line Lab. I have heard field line Lab's can be a handful however our show-line girl was not what I would say calm and polite when she was growing up... lol I am exited to start the training as soon as she is home. I know it will be hard work and frustrating at times but I enjoy dog training and seeing the incremental progress from puppy to adult and look forward to our life together! Take care!!!
