We have a lab cross we adopted from a lab rescue organization. Ten years old now. Happiest dog we have ever had.Hell on rabbits,squirrels,but not a hunter.Only a great house, family dog, and wife protector. With me it's every man for himself. She sleeps in the middle of our king size bed, fights me for her place on the sofa.. My wife calls her a velcro dog because she is always at her side. Big difference from our last dog, a blue heeler..
