There's a litter of 8. I went out and looked them over this morning. It's hard to tell one from the other. The sire is very light colored and the dam is reddish. All of the pups are a bit in between. Good folks breeding them,..a young man and his wife who keep them inside the house. The female is a couch potato but the male likes the outdoors. I showed up wearing my now ever-present overalls and the young man said the big sire loved to hunt. Asked me if I was planning on hunting the pup. I told him, "no",...he's just going to be my buddy.

There was a big blond Labrador sitting in the passenger seat like he was used to it. He was just perched up there totally dignified,...looking straight ahead. I 'spect mine will end up like that.

He knows what his stuff is and if it's not his he doesn't mess with it. The first couple of nights I had mine I slept in a recliner with him on my chest so he could smell my breath and bond. When he stirred I took him outside. He's never made a mess in the house either. Kenneling is a big thing. You will need different size crates as he grows.

I get in the car and take a road trip a couple of times a year but other than that I just like to hang out around the house. No particular reason. I just do. That's one reason that I thought it was a good time to get a dog. I probably would have gotten one before but I would have always been away at work and wouldn't have had time to look after one like I want to. He'll get plenty of attention.

Train him with it. Or lose a bunch of stuff around the house when you leave. You'll have another dog soon enough. Originally Posted by Bristoe It's about like this: "Do you puff peters?" "Hell no!"

Males chew, and females dig. The male black lab I had would sleep in my dirty clothes basket as a pup and would chew the buttons of my shirts. As he grew, he found his way under the house had torn all the insulation off of the duct work. Then as a young man, he chewed the control handles off an excavator on a trailer in the driveway and chewed up the seat. That bastard cost me several thousand dollars. The yellow female I had was great too. She would dig tornado bunkers in the back yard for me to we could keep safe in the event of one coming. Both shed like crazy in the house, but they loved like no other dog. Best pets I've ever had. You'll shoot your eye out

He (or she) will love it and everyone will be happier. Bristoe, you've done yourself a great favor. Enjoy. "Be sure you're right. Then go ahead." Fess Parker as Davy Crockett

The baby is 5 1/2 months chocolate male and is my sons. He weighs 60# and should finish around 100 #'s. He shows great promise for field trialing and hunting but his main job is to grow up with our son and the 2 of them are inseparable. We also have my 6yo blm who is an absolute bird hunting machine and is the most loyal and affectionate dog I have ever seen. He loves everyone but never leaves my side. And we have my wife's 8yo ylm. Ex show dog who hunts fairly well for his huge size but is now just Momma's lap heater and constant companion. They are all very different personality wise but we are blessed with each of them. Having 3 labs in the house means we are vacuuming daily and brushing them atleast once a week and typically twice. All 3 are crate trained which is a godsend and it takes work to keep them all but I wouldn't change it for the world.

If I go outside and don't get in my daily driver he'll be with me or else. We got lucky that he ended up fairly long and lean but not huge as he is our first "indoors" lab. Yeah, that ottoman is his now. FJB & FJT

When sleeping, he's either on the ottoman, the couch with wife or in his crate[on his own]. Nerf has come out with a great line of hard rubber dog toys[balls]. About the only toys he hasn't shredded. He usually can pop the squeaker but otherwise he just wants me to tug away and then throw. FJB & FJT

OTOH he has a huge toy box filled with stuffed animals big and small. Always has one in his mouth.
