    I have noticed a mole...well not sure if you would call it a mole, but basically a small area under his chin...more towards the centre of his jaw I think. It also has a few short whiskers growing out of it. So a sort of dog -mole.

    Well, I spotted this on Benson, and have noticed that Casper has exactly the same thing in exactly the same spot..so is this common in labradors? Does everyone's lab have one? :)

    I also have a question about paw pads..but will post that later I think! :) :)

    Yes! I never paid too much attention since it was there from birth but a dog mole, that's the perfect way to describe it.

    Do you mean the root of a whisker? I thought this was just part of anatomy of the sensory system...

    Yes I think they are common. S&S have one. They also have one on their cheek. My old lab had the same. :)

    Just tried to examine Bensons dog-mole...and have now got a very wet face! Benson does like his chin tickles mind... ;D Must try and take a photo later.

    Julie T...it does look like the root of a cluster of whiskers, so I think you are most likely right :)

    Can't check it out as Dexter looks like he's in a really comfy snooze ::) but from how you've described it Julie I think he definately has them x
