Hi there have a beautiful black lab called Bella

Hi there was wondering what age labs normally go into season and how long does it last? Thanks

 

Hello and welcome to the forum. I've never had a bitch in season, and am looking forward (hah) to my first in the next few months. It can vary when the first one is, but I believe is normally somewhere between six and twelve months.

Hi, I too have a beautiful black Labrador Labrador, Cassie, she's 11 months and half way through her first season. Yep, the links posted above are definitely very helpful.

 

Thanks very much for the replies

 

Hi there was wondering what the best dry food yours would recommend and are apples and carrots OK to give Bella.thanks

 

The breeder we got our monster from ...funnily enough also called Bella ...provided us with some Arden Grange dry puppy food and we have stuck to that she loves it and is now on the adult version of the same .

 

Hi and welcome from me and 3 year old girl, Harley.
Everyone will give different answers on your food question as, like humans, dogs have different tastes, allergies etc. I think it's what you can afford and what your dog likes. Personally I keep away from the cheap food as it has a lot of fillers and isn't very good nutrionally.

 

Hi there was wondering is it ok to leave a 6 moth old pup for 6 hours she gets walked at 6.30 in morning and at 4 pm and then at 9 is this ok

 

Six hours is rather a long time, with no one popping in to give her some playtime or a walk . Could you possibly get someone to do this for you ?

 

I think that's too long, I would try to get a dog walker to come in at midday.

 

I give carrots and apple to my pup, now 8 months. Apple pips are supposed to be poisonous though.

 

Hi yeah will get a dog walker to pop in about 12 thanks
