Surprised that the Lab swimming genes are not as dominant as I would have thought...
She spent her first 18 months on a chain, with no stimulation to speak of. When I got her as a rescue dog she knew her name, come, and no.
I thought her to be not too smart, but that was just ignorance (X2!). She learns quick- when it is to her advantage.
House breaking, play growling, butt and belly rubs were all unkown to her. She has come a long way since!
We'll work on the swimming this summer.
Or it could be her whippet genes....
