My daughter in 5th grade has the same issues......I guess they all do. It is how they learn to deal with it when they are grown ups. I have no patience for meddlesome parents. I have confronted one...

We adopted our yellow lab Molly last August. She has been an absolute joy to our family, but I never expected the bond that would form between her and my 11 year old son. He's always had somewhat of...

Run while you can.

Uh, yeah. Like cat poop (she did look guilty). Dirt. Lumber.

I eat very healthily (mainly vegetarian, we don't keep junk food around the house, nothing with additives, no soda, little to no...

Welcome to the board. I know you're very new to Labradors, and dogs in general. I noticed you mentioned one of the pups parents was "silver-chocolate". This raises a big red flag for me. Despite...

Agree this is not a "true dudley." Just a puppy from two chocolate dogs carrying yellow, so some puppies were born chocolate with the corresponding pigment and some were born yellow with liver...

Just a small correction, this is not a "true dudley" with out any pigment at all, a "true dudley" would have throughly pink pigment, this puppy has liver pigment. Both parents were chocolate, and...

Why do you want to go grain free? Is the current food not working?

I personally am very proud of the breeder/kennel I am getting my pup from. There's some really interesting back story with this litter as well. the feedback that I've received via PMs (asking who the...

As most of you know, it's been a pretty rough couple of days for me. Had Bruce not passed, I would have been in Florida right now visiting with my Mom and step father. My DW had volunteered to...

What everyone else said. But to add to that, if you are trying to enter one of the smaller Obedience/Rally trials (without an associated conformation show), the trend around here lately has been...

For me, none. I live for Gabe. He is my friend, companion and my life. He can do nothing that I dislike doing, except IF he were to get sick or injured. I enjoy doing all the unpleasant things...

First off, the shows are pretty small, usually a hundred or so dogs of all breeds. Typically there are 2 shows a day, so sometimes you have 5 shows in a weekend if they include 1 show on Friday. The...

Bruce could definitely get his UKC Champion title quick. ;)

I think Barry must have mis-typed. Silvers are not labs is probably what he meant to say since silvers are DILUTES, which is the problem! ;)

Think everyone would care about this one.

I love raising puppies, especially when I get down to "just one". Really folks... puppies are a JOY to raise and live with. If they seem to be a JOB to you, then maybe you aren't cut out for it???...

Picking the right breeder goes a long way too. depending on the breeding, temperament of the parents, how much work the breeder does with the puppies and then picking the right puppy for the right...

Keep the dog inside and don't make a big deal about it. I find that the more anxious we are the more anxious the dogs are. If you don't give a crap, they don't give a crap. Labs are supposed to be...

These are photos (excluding this years winner) of the dogs that went BOB at Potomac over the last 39 years. I don't see any real drastic changes.

Urgh, my MIL (who has 0 dogs) was up in arms when she found out we were going to use a breeder. Like calling us multiple times a day with rescues in her area (she lives 3,000 miles away from us),...

I simply say that if people ONLY supported RESPONSIBLE breeders, there would be no need for rescues/shelters.

I think people who come here get a range of good answers and intelligent people can sort through information and come to informed conclusions. I don't know where they get some of the notions they...

Thanks everyone. The growth seems to be shriveling up and hopefully will soon disappear altogether.

Yup, damned if you do and damned if you don't ! Don't you hate when you are right and are left feeling like your weren't?
