What Makes LABS Great
 

They're always happy to see you, and they have no interest in politics!

Our son's chocolate lab "Remington" great dog and very calm.

There would no dispute about my being GREAT if I could lick my balls like your dog can lick his...

Can't beat a lab. I have one blackie... Shes the best....

Graham,
Had a yellow one just like yours for 13 years. She showed up when the youngest kids were about 3. She would to do a "front yard patrol" every morning when I went out to start the truck. When I actually left for work she was always laying on the front porch with a 'happy look'. Front yard secure sir, time to get the kids up, have breakfast, and begin the backyard 'patrol'.

Never needed a leash, (I know, I know) never left mine or the kids side during a walk.

Cats, raccoons, foxes, and squirrels were not welcome on her property.

She actually removed the girls guinea pig from the box and "brought" it to me. (no damage) with a real happy look on her face. Of all things, she and the 'pig' got along quite well.

Wonderful animal, not gonna even try and replace her.

You have a great Lab!

I have an 8 yr old Chololate lab. He's a real treat, although not the most intelligent animal on the planet.

Here is a photo of Riley with about 15 lbs of dry dog food crammed in his stomach after finding the bag in the garage unguarded at my in-law's house.

He could hardly get up and just laid there and groaned for the longest.


What a knucklehead... :)

Incredibly smart and loving dogs

Yeah, labs are cool wish I had the time for one. No time for the training and the maintenance. I 'd want to be able to take it anywhere without problems like them see and eye dogs.

only downside to all my LABS...messiest water drinkers EVER!

Vash you are so right about that.. Our girl likes to snorkle in her bowl. Fortunately they are so easy to train, we trained her to stay in the laundry room after she gets a drink, she'll lay in there until somebody comes by and dries her face. :D

Shadow even keeps skunks out of the backyard!

I thought only my Lab drank like a Rain Bird. Gotta love those wet toilet seats!

I've got a friend who raises guide dog puppies. From about 8 weeks to one year. The dog is trained and evaluated, and if it has what it takes, it goes on to "guide dog college."

If the dog does not have what it takes, then the dog gets a "career change," and becomes somebody's pet. For a donation to the non-profit (the folks who train these dogs), those dogs can be bought. They are NICE dogs, since they have been trained and handled for one year by folks who understand dog training.

How True :)

Here's my favorite one of our wonder dog. This was a few years ago, he's about 8 in the pic, he's 11 1/2 now. Not much has changed except his goatee has gotten grayer. By far the best dog ever...In fact my wife says he has to live forever, I sure hope she's right.

Man, that picture tells a story! What a beautiful dog. You can just see his personality.

sorry to burst all your bubbles..but BISHOP the black lab, was the best dog ever. he was very very young when he retrieved his first duck. the bird was as big as he was...he ran into the reeds, and had to back out with the mallard. it warmed the heart. one of my brother's hoochie mamma girlfriends taught him to fetch rocks...errr, no so good since the world is basically made from rocks. nothing more annoying than watching ducks set their approach pattern, to see Bishop out there in the water with his head submerged looking for rocks..

This past summer we rented an ocean front cottage for two weeks. The dogs loved it as did we. I'd get up in the morning, make coffee and go out and throw the ball for the dogs. They'd laze around until it was time again in the afternoon to fetch that ball. Ahhh, dogs and summer...

My two boys, almost 11 now. This picture is 4 or 5 years old. Kona is the bigger one and a rescue I've had 6 years. He's the dumb stoner surfer dude. Hooch I've had since he was a pup and he is as smart as a whip. They are the best dogs I've ever had. Kona has been a project though and spent several nights in the doggie ER after ingesting various non food items. 4 years ago around this time it was what ended up being 12 pounds of christmas wrapping paper. It looked like he had swallowed a basket ball.

Thanks! He preferred the geese wounded it was more sporting for him. He would dispatch them quickly. He made it to just shy of 15 years old. That picture he was 8 or so In the prime of the waterfowl days.
