    Welcome to the board. We went from an ESS to a Lab too. Was Daisy field bred? Our ESS was. She was a rescue we got at four years old, gun trained, purebred, registered. LOL, we did some field work with our current Lab and the trainer commented on what a high energy dog he was. But our ESS could have run circles around him, all day. Not out of control though, very submissive and obedient she was, the best kind of energy, compliant energy.

    Daisey is a mix of bench and field. She is a bullet though... One of the fastest dogs I've seen. She doesn't have a nose though... So she is an outstanding house dog/companion. It's gonna be weird having a dog with a tail in the house..

    Both. I think Labs are all in all, an easier breed to train than any the Spaniels. They tend to be very forgiving of owner/ trainer mistakes on the whole.

    My ESS was very sensitive to my voice, very sensitive. She is definitely not a dominate dog.

    Welcome from another owner with a Maxx! He sure is a cute puppy, take lots of pictures, they grow so very fast! Those "cute" puppy days are gone so quickly, unfortunately not so for the landshark phase! Good luck!

    Regarding the Lab tail, remove everything from your coffee table or just get rid of it, (the table), all together!
