Hello everyone! Went to view some beautiful Labrador puppies today! Reversed one beautiful girl, 6 weeks old, picking up on 14th at 8 weeks! Looking forward to reading information on thus forum so will be ready for when we bring her home! Thanks for reading!
Welcome to the forum Lesley! Is this your first lab? I can't recommend the Happy Puppy Handbook highly enough to prepare you for the onslaught! She looks a real cutie in your avatar! jac
Thank you jac We have had a Golden Retriever before but not a Labrador but my daughter in law has a 5 year old Labrador that I walk. Thanks for the tip on the book, will get that book a.s.a.p. before we bring her home.
Hello and welcome! Lab puppies are cute as buttons, complete terrorists and monsters that will have you pulling your hair out at least as much time as you spend laughing at them. Get past the first couple of years (yes, years) and you’ll have your soul mate. I look forward to seeing pictures
Book ordered jac! Thank you snowbunny! Told me husband today, I hope you realise what you have got us into L.O.L. no more lie ins!!!!
So looking forward to bringing her home! Will be spending to next 2 weeks reading loads on the forum! Just need to pick her name now!
Welcome from me and Xena in Wellington, NZ. Definitely do a lot of reading, I wasn't prepared for the reality of a Lab pup and it caused a very difficult few months.
A bit welcome from Maxx and I in Sydney, Australia. I echo Sophie's advice, we had some very unhappy times when Maxx was little as we were not prepared for the hurricane with teeth. But your patience and persistence will be so worth it. He is 7 months now and still cheeky and naughty but so loving and we just adore him to bits
Hello and welcome from me, Wispa (6) and Tuppence (4). It’s very exciting having a new puppy (she looks rather like Wispa did at 6 weeks). Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security by the five year old lab, though!
Hi Lesley, welcome to the Forum, I have 2 year old Cassie. Your puppy looks so adorable. I echo all that has been said about the early weeks and months with a Lab, and that in time the make the best of companions. Train for a lie in, and you'll get a lie in
Hi and welcome from me and 4 year old girl, Harley. She looks so cute. Any ideas on names yet? I too recommend the Happy Puppy book, it has so much useful information in it and I wish it was out when we got Harley.
Thank you to everyone for their lovely warm welcome and advice! going to be needing lots of advise by the sound of it! so happy to of joined this forum! Thank you again!
Hello and welcome to the forum from Fred , Annie and me. Have you got a name for her yet? One more thing, lots of pictures of her please
Hello from me and Pepper who’s now 14 weeks. I can definitely recommend The Happy Puppy Handbook and also Total Recall. Lie ins are so overrated, it’s much nicer to be up at 6am every day!
