As others have said, well bred labradors get along with everything. I usually have 6+ intact males who hang out with each other in a paddock during the day. When I have girls in prime season, I do...

Not a breeder, but I have 2 intact males that spend a lot of time with a third intact male and they get along great.

I've had 3 intact males living in my house at once, at different times. No issues other than some marking. I've had Jagger in the house (he doesn't live with us full time) and he gets along fine...
This really depends on the selection for good temperaments that the breeder has done. I know how generalized that sounds, because you can have wonderful temperaments and really crappy temperaments...
Cookie is intact (not a stud) and I have to be very careful with other intact males. However, some of his best buddies are actually intact males. It comes down to whether he is familiar with the...
The only dog I've ever owned who had same-sex aggression was my first Lab. Brutus was 3 when we got him....not a stud dog, just hadn't been neutered. He had severe male dog aggression...all he had...
Just google head collars (or gentle leader) neck injuries. There are 100's of articles, but the one I posted below has good information.
A dog that lunges and bites is not a candidate...
Most of the time silver breeders are only looking to product the color. No attention is being paid to temperament. The temperament of a lab is part of the standard.
Just because the dog has...
This makes me want to cry. It does matter. It matters so much. And this is everything that is so wrong... Sigh...
Run while you can.
AKC registration is only as good and as trustworthy as the person filling out the forms. You could breed two dogs together and send in forms listing two other dogs as the parents of the litter. ...
I'll bite.
"Silver Labs" are Lab / Weimaraner mixes with some very specific health problems. Many people like the look. I don't, especially, but that is neither here nor there—some people...
I have never had a puppy class where play was allowed/encouraged. Our dogs are learning they don’t NEED to interact with every dog they meet as when they are working they are expected to be...
Thanks for the replies. I have thought about it carefully and responded with "I will not be attending". The odd thing about it is that although its being held on a Friday night, spouses are not...
i hate parties. i'd find a way to skip it without looking like i'm bailing. If I did go i'd ensure there was a "legit reason" for my leaving early. For me it's an extra complication as I have to take...
I'd rather spend the time with Maverick.
I generally don't go. I never really been one to socialize with people I work with. Plus sitting around making small talk is pretty much my idea of hell. I'm a complete introvert by nature, so I'm...
I would be very wary of any breeder who offered to refund money for any reason (unless one had paid a deposit and ... I don't know. There was no pregnancy or possibility of one.)
If a breeder...
Unfortunately, in that price range you are looking at puppy mill dogs, possibly a BYB situation. I would not support this, but I would also not want to deal with the health issues that are likely to...
I don't get it, either. I have seen intelligent people (people I work with or acquaintances on Facebook) with full internet access and the ability to research, purchase puppies from the internet (the...
You would think with the number of dogs in some type of rescue or shelter situation, puppy mills would go the way of the dinosaur. How many of these puppy mill/pet store dogs end up in rescue or...
That is very interesting. In a perfect world puppy mills and commercial breeding, (like at least one unethical Lab "breeder" I am well acquainted with), would disappear from the face of the earth.
Intact labradors are no more a pain in the butt than other breeds. The degree of their pain in the butt is an individual thing and, to some degree, what you'll accept. My boys will howl when a girl...
Maverick is a happy humper. Male or female makes no difference. He WILL NOT try it with older dogs, smaller dogs, or adult dogs he does not know. Basically, he only does it to dogs about his own age...
It depends on the dog and, to some extent, the owner.
