The Labrador Thread

[Drago]

Lemmy has been awake for a whole hour and is already knackered. Note my oldest cat, Mrs Tibbles, keeping an eye on him.

Having lost ours to cancer earlier this year, we dicided we're probably not going to get another, small garden, I diont like dogs pee and poo on the lawn so trained him to go in one spot by the back gate but it inevitably stunk at times, took the fence down now etc etc.
But my wife keeps showing me photos of lab pups for sale...looooook looook

I sense prices are finally being pegged back a bit now, £1400 tops which is still an awful lot imo. If they get sub £1k...I might cave in. (Although my son has an XL Bully pup, gorgeous but it'll turn into a friendly brute...my kind of dog too)

T'was a big day for Bruce. Hes now fully jabbed up and safe for walkies in public. The 5 minutes of walking for each month of age just puts the primary school within walkies range, so Bruce has bow begun the mirning walk to school routine with me. To say he loved it is an understatement.

Just joined the Labrador club, well actually Labrador/Retriever. Hopefully this bundle of fun is going to be a life changer as she is a Guide Dog puppy that we are raising for the first 14 months‘ish of her life. First night last night, which I mainly spent sleeping on the floor next to her as she is not too happy to be left alone yet. She is 7 weeks old and the cat is not impressed.

Well the time came and off she went to school for her next step in being a life changer. This is the last photo we took the evening before she was taken by the "Puppy Snatcher", the rainbow is all real. I am pleased to say the reports are that she has settled in really well.

In the meantime......
We have been looking after a couple of other dogs

and next week this bundle of fun arrives for the next 12 months or so.

Is my Labradoodle Lyra allowed to be on this thread?

I got put off getting a Labrador when I noticed how many of their owners go blind.

There is a whole lot of Labrador in her and what lovely colouring, of course she is welcome.

Digby is just over a year old now...

Boring day really, i dont do sitting round too much, sends me almost anxious inside so took him for a 3 or 4 miles walk into the old brickpits, do us both good. Marvelous and quiet, shirt off, soak uo the sun, Digby can run his heart out plus three dips into the multitude of small ponds there, cool him off.
He will sleep tonight...

Digby, just over a year old, 35kg last time we weighed him, he will be more now.
On the brick pits today, let him run free. He's not good with people or dogs, not aggressive, just far far too excitable. I want a dog to be as natural as possible, run free, explore, swim, sniff...you can see him soaking it all up, its a wonderful thing.
