Thanks Anna. Do you have any suggestions on videos on teaching heeling?
I would like to start using an e-collar in training of our 8 month year old lab and am looking for reliable and safe collars that don't cost a fortune. Areas we need to work on is walking while on a...
Thanks! Our lab is now 7.5 months old (will be 8 months on November 3rd). We have a family trip planned over Thanksgiving where she will be around male dogs. What are the chances she could go into...
What age does everyone suggest to have a Labrador spayed. Our lab is just over 5 months old and our vet is suggesting to have it done now. However I have read in other places that it's better to wait...
So our 9 week old lab puppy LOVES rawhide bones (we gave her one a few days ago and she has been chewing it ever since). Since then I've read how they aren't good for her (bad preservatives). So I am...
Thanks! Yes, walking on a leash. It's mostly sidewalk walking with some grassy area walking (soccer fields) included sometimes.
When she plays outside it's rarely longer than a half hour. ...
Someone on another thread I created on tick prevention mentioned overexercising during puppyhood and that it can lead to joint disorders later. I had never heard this before so wanted to do some...
I have been doing a lot or research on tick prevention for my new pup but it seems opinions are all over the board. Ideally I'm looking for something that actually works to prevent ticks and is safe...
Looking for some suggestions of safe toys for an 8 week lab puppy. I just ordered a large puppy kong but need a few more suggestions. Thanks!
We will be picking up our new Lab pup in a couple of weeks and I am looking for help with a dental care program. This was one area where we were lacking with our current Lab (she is 13 now) and I...
Thanks! I didn't know the "furminator tool" was bad (we've always used it on our current lab). What kind of brush would you recommend instead?
Also, any suggestions on dental care? This is...
I am wondering if it is better to feed our new Lab puppy Purina Pro Plan Sport Performance 30/20 or Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Puppy? The breeder is currently feeding her Purina Pro Plan Sport...
Thanks all! Any idea what size harness (thinking the Ruffwear Everyday Harness) and collar (I am going to order both) for a 7.5 week old lab pup? I want to order ahead of time.
Is it safe to put...
Thanks to both of you. Any idea where I can buy Sound Beginnings. I checked Amazon and it's currently unavailable.
I am working on a list of supplies/products I need to order before we get our new lab puppy on the 25th and looking for some help. Here is what I have so far:
Dog Crate - Already have it...
Looking for some suggestions for training material/books for a new lab puppy we will be picking up at the end of April. This will be my 3rd lab so I am quite familiar with the breed. However, I...
Thanks for all the great responses. I will clarify and say I have no issue spending more than $1,000 for a new pup. I just don't want to spend more than I need to get the dog we want. Actually I...
Thanks all. I really appreciate the help. I guess I am a bit confused as to what constitutes a good breeder and what exactly I should be looking for. To me, titles, show awards and pedigrees don't...
I posted back in February looking for a lab puppy in May/June. After doing some further research my wife and I decided to wait another year (seems a lot of litters were already spoken for). So now...
Bernie.....I am sorry if I offended you or broke one of the rules. This truly wasn't my intent. I am not trying to to paint any breeder in a bad light. The one breeder I did mention I praised. ...
The new breeder I mentioned in post #22 did confirm that the final hip clearance will be done on her 2nd birthday and than she will be bred.
By the way, I also plan on calling Mary at Candlewood Kennels. From everything I've read she's one of the best breeders in the country (and is located fairly close). While I have a feeling her dogs...
Thanks smartrock. I just sent her an email asking her the same thing. The female was born on 02/24/15 and it sounds like she won't be bred until March so I'm assuming they plan on having final...
Thanks. I found another breeder that is breeding her female at about two years of age. This female is a junior hunter working towards her senior. The male is a master hunter and is doing triple...
Thanks! Is there a minimum age at which a Labrador should be bred?
