But you have to really look hard at people who don't like dogs or who dogs don't like. Its another good reason to not like/trust Trump.

Thanks for making my point for me. Big difference between people who don't own dogs and people who mistreat them.

F3600 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 For labs you have to have a caveat, they are dumb as a 2x4 until about 2.5 years old and need said 2x4 to make them listen up until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad's black lab was smart from the start. He retired and got her. They spend every day together. If you're gonna get a dog and leave it in the house all day alone it's not going to learn shit! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fortunate enough to work in a dog friendly environment but that is rare for a lot of people. I actually have my dog here with me today so he could play with his buddy. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk. In addition to the three pictured, we've had two others. All of them have been pretty smart. Attention and training are key. They need things to do otherwise they will find things on their own and that's usually a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted November 11, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 11, 2020 Ive got 2 females now but have had males in the past .

Cool, I've had Labs all my life, we had a yellow a black and a chocolate all at one time, we have a 14 year old black and a 6 month old chocolate now, the old guy is nearing the end now I'm afraid. We had a chocolate silver mix female, she was a great dog a little different than all the others we have had, more aware of everything, ate apples,, pears, and peaches would find them anywhere. Our new chocolate had a silver father and she is very similar to our silver chocolate. My old black named King has only been away from me about 30 hours in his life that was when I in the hospital, has traveled at least 200,000 miles with me, we still walk everyday just not as fast or as far.

I look at King and nod he knows its time to go, point down means sit palm out means stay point any direction or wave him to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aware as in protective? Bullet is a lot more intense than the other two. Very in tune to his surroundings almost on guard all the time. If I go to the basement without him I can hear him pacing back and forth until I come back up.Tucker and Oakley are laid back like typical Labs.

No not more protective, but as you say more intense, and in tune with their surroundings and notice everything and anything that the other labs just seem unaware of. The breeder we got ours from had bred probably thousands of Labs, she brought out a pup of every color to show us that the silver would lay on its back and be submissive to an adult male and the others didn't, she also said that silver females regurgitate food for their pups and no other colors do that. If you look at a silver their eyes are closer together and more forward than the other colors, she said it is from the recessive wolf genes, not sure if it is true but there is definitely a difference in behavior.
