whoauditsyou says "Labs are the perfect family dog " about Pet Labrador Retriever

I have a two year old chocolate lab and love him very much. After months of research we went with a lab due to their kindness and loving demeanor. I did find that he was very easy to train once we started using a crate. (Crates aren't mean, he actually loves his crate and although we never confine him in it any more he still loves laying in it.) Labs, as in most big dogs do need their exercise. I take him on about a twenty minute walk everyday. Labs can be hyper dogs, I would recommend researching if the puppy you want has hyper or calm parents. I lucked out and found a calm lab. I would also investigate into the parents health issues. My puppy has some hip problems which his father also had. Other than his hips and the occasional ear problems our lab as been healthy. We have a kitten that he also loves, he is never mean with the kitten, just has to be reminded sometimes that he is too big to truly rough house with the kitten. I take him in public alot and he acts...

HMurphy says "Best decison I ever made!" about Pet Labrador Retriever

HMurphy — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 17:18:26 GMT

My husband and I bought a yellow lab puppy last year at Christmas time. She was the cutest puppy I could have imagined! From day one she was very mild and became instantly attached to my husband and I. Almost a year later and she has grown into a beaultiful 72 pound dog! We love her more and more everyday. I have never seen such loyalty in an animal. She loves us to death and hates when we have to leave her at home to go to work or somewhere else. She has the instincts to protect us when she hears people outside or any noise that she doesn't recognize. Which is really the only time that she ever barks, when she is being protective. I can't say this for every lab though. We take her to the do park almost everyday and there are 3 other labs about her age that are also very good dogs but have their different quirks. Two of them have a ball fetish, one of them barks more than the others. She is a lover through and through. It's been hard to stop her from jumping as she doesn't jump on...

pokeywinkel says "I love our dog" about Pet Labrador Retriever

pokeywinkel — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 03:05:02 GMT

I love our yellow lab so much. He is 9 years old now. He is so good with our kids. The kids play with him all the time. H loves to ride in the car, loves to eat, and is great with kids other than ours. Before we had children other kids used to come to our house all the time and want to play with our dog. They always said where is Coco, our dog. He is such a great dog to have around. He is very protective and barks when he hears noises outsid our door. I'm so glad to have our dog around.

ptm2023 says "Labs (any color) are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!" about Pet Labrador Retriever

ptm2023 — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 02:32:44 GMT

We have had many dogs over the years, but our Yellow Lab has to be the best dog we've ever owned. She loves anyone she comes in contact with, and is great with our grandkids (you couldn't ask for a better breed for kids). She is a gentle and loving companion, and we would be totally lost without her. I would recommend a Lab (any color) to anyone.

bellacasey says "Black Labs Rock!" about Pet Labrador Retriever

bellacasey — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 14:53:06 GMT

I have a Black Lab/ Great Dane mix. His name is Mason, and he is a year old. He never barks, does not chew on anything except his toys. He has never had an accident in the house. I also have a Maltese named Benny who is 6. Benny is cranky with my kids and other adults, poops in my house daily ( even though we just put him out), and barks all the time. Mason is calm and relaxed. Sometimes because of the Great Dane he can be demanding, a bit of a bully but, once put in his place is fine. I got both dogs as rescues. I never planned on having any pets. Now, I would never not have a black lab. We have a purebred black lab at the Chiropractor's office I work in. Her name is Thea and she is such a calm, well mannered, loving animal. She is the perfect therapy dog. Lab's in general are all about a job and they love people. If you are thinking of getting a family dog or even just a hunting dog. GET A LAB! You will not be sorry.

stet1 says "Love our Sadie! She's a great start to the day! Always happy!" about Pet Labrador Retriever

stet1 — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 16:12:08 GMT

Our Sadie is the sweetest now that she's two.

They are chewers as puppies. $200 in air conditioning wires, $150 service call when she dug up and ate the Dish Network wires, $100 service call when she ate the internet wires, and one mad neighbor when she dug herself under the fence and into the neighbors yard to chase the cat.

The definietely need training as they get big fast and still think of themselves as small dogs.

Lovable, friendly, kid friendly, happy, and provide so much joy. Great car companions, running and biking companions, swimming companions, and more!

One of the best pets you'll ever own!! (once they aren't puppies and if you spend the time and money to train them).

domellon says "great dog" about Pet Labrador Retriever

domellon — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 01:23:38 GMT

We got our lab, she happens to be chocolate, as a recsue dog as a puppy. She was about to be gassed (they have too many dogs) and she was rescued and posted online. That was 5 years ago and she has turned into the best dog ever. She was around before our child and she took to her immediately. She became her biggest protector and she allows her to climb all over her. I wouldn't say that she is the smartest dog ever but she is fairly intelligent. What she lacks in smarts she more than makes up for with her heart. She is the most loving and loyal dog ever. Some observations...she doesn't like the heat but loves to swim, she sheds a little too much at times but with regular brushing this is manageable. When she is walked regularly she is very happy. The one problem with labs is that they have an insatiable appetite so monitor their food intake. They will put on weight in no time and it is difficult to take off. Overall..Labradors are a great breed!

vridgway says "Best pet I have ever owned!" about Pet Labrador Retriever

vridgway — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 17:01:57 GMT

My pet Yellow Labrador is the most amazing animal I have ever owned. She is absolutely my best friend. "Haley" has just turned nine years old and is such a beautiful girl. I got her from a friend of the family who bred labs. I picked her out of a litter of her brothers and sisters of 13! There were black, chocolate and yellow labs in her littler. She goes everywhere I dogs are allowed and she always wants to go bye-bye in the car. The dog hair in the back seat proves it! All of my grandchildren have laid on her, pulled her tail :( and checked out her teeth and she has never once been any where near aggressive. She is so laid back. When I'm outside, she has to be right there with me. Sometimes I have to be careful and look behind me so I don't trip over her. She loves to go down to the pond and have a swim even if sometimes she decides to go down there without me knowing it. She also loves to go exploring and swimming in the creek. When I can't take her someplace...

yayitas says "i love my labrador" about Pet Labrador Retriever

yayitas — Mon, 04 May 2009 06:42:22 GMT

The Labrador retriever originated in Newfoundland, where it aided fisherman with their catch. After being crossed with setters, spaniels and other retrievers, the Lab sharpened its skills as a true retriever. But what makes Labs even more popular is their kind, outgoing nature.

“My Lab is the sweetest dog I’ve ever known. He greets all my friends whenever they come to my house, and he always wants to be in the same room with everyone, like he’s part of the group,” said Geoff Rudolph of Newport Beach, Calif., owner of Champ, a 1½-year-old yellow Lab.

Belle our yellow lab came into our home as a pup. she is now 16 months old. She has soooooo much energy, and can play ball for hours. She is great with the twins but at times can be a little strong for them to handle. she is a wonderful pet and keeps us all on our toes with her energy

cookiekiki says "Happy and Loving all the time" about Pet Labrador Retriever

cookiekiki — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 05:23:57 GMT

I have 2 beautiful American Labs. Brother and sister team , and even though they both have their own personalities, they are the most loving and loyal dogs I have known in a long time. They are high energy and seem to never sleep but when they do they are out like a light. They are Gentle giants , but when the chips are down do go into protection mode, the female more so than the male. I take them for car rides and they are on the best behavior. They tolerate and nuzzle the 3 cats I have and guard my 86 year old mother. They are wonderful dogs to have even thought they do get into trouble on occasion. I LOVE THEM and would get another .They are high maintenance though and do have some health issues that goes with the breed.The love they give our family makes it all worth it.

ccbmom says "My four-legged, loyal, best friend." about Pet Labrador Retriever

ccbmom — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 01:23:37 GMT

Our Yellow Labrador Retriever is truly a family member. She's smart, loyal, dependable. She helps take care of our kids, even walking them down to the school bus at the end our long driveway. She waits with them and when the bus door closes she sprints back up the drive and into the house. That is her most cherished family job and she does it well! She is now 12 and shows no sign of hip problems, knock on wood. I would get another lab in a second.
