Maybe you shouldn't have let her watch "Meet the Parents".

 

Thanks and every bit true. My other pup is a Border Collie and sure knows how to get her way. All my dogs are and have been rescue's. The lady I got the Border Collie from warned me not do or show her anything I don't want her to do for the rest of life. Yeah, I really listened and now I have a 50 lb lap dog.

 

Right now, I am in the market for a pup. I am looking at LAB's (by popular demand). I have a couple of breeders in mind. I will keep you updated.

Now, as far as spoiled goes, I wish I could put into words how spoiled my wifes dog is. For example, If he wants to go outside, or needs to get through a door in the house, he will literally whine and whimper at the door until someone opens it. And, it sounds like a babies whimper.

BTW, that terrier is pretty. He has some really NICE markings.

 

She doesn't know how to watch TV, but she can flush the toilet. Go figure!

 

My 7 year old female Yellow lab will spend hours digging for large rocks in the lake we go camping at. She will sometime submerse about 80% of her body to get a rock. Her bottom canines are now flat.

 

My dog "Sage" is the same way. He thinks he's a lap dog too. A 90 pound lap dog. But its funny that he's not alowed on any furniture except the bed, so how is he a lap dog? As long as he dosnt have his rear legs on the couch or chair he is fine (not yelled at I mean). So he will LAY across you with his whole body and front legs, but still having is rear legs firmly on the floor. I guess that shows how big he is.

And if he does get a rear leg or two on the couch, all you have to say is "I know your not on that couch" in a soft voice, not yelling or anything, and he will calmly get down and act like nothing happened.




How bout some neat tricks your pets do. What can you get your dog to do?

Personally other than the normal sit, stay and so forth, I can point my finger at "sage" like a gun and say "BANG", and he will roll over on to his side and play dead. I'm working on trying to get him to hang out his tongue when I do it too.

And because he's half shepard half lab, i'll keep him in one room and go hide a treat, then tell him to "find it". And he'll go sniffing around the house until he catches the trail and finds it.

 

Well, one thing my pup does is to XXX rated. Poor dog, needs a female

Whenever he sits down he will look right at the spot hes gonna sit, then keep his eyes on that spot and spin in a few circles, then sit.

Also, every day at about 7 pm he starts moaning and getting all jumpy, he knows its time for a walk.

zap, lmao, head butt it back, nice.

 

My dog can also lick his mule while sitting, Imagine if man could do that woman would be in the dog house

 

Does anybody else notice anything very disturbing about this picture? Id say get him neutered, but the vet may charge you overtime...

I'd snarl too if I was laying on top of my ummm, bone...

 

Sage is one handsome boy! I can almost see his personality in your pictures.

Funny thing about dogs; they act like 3 or 4 yo human children the way they are always testing the waters to see what they can get away with. Heck...I'm "a little older than 4" and I'm still testing the waters. Then again, I never grew up, just got older.

 

News Flash ! ! !

I found some LAB puppies, but I have a few questions for the experts.

AKC black or creamy white lab puppies. DNA & OSA Certified, Hunting parents, Dewclaws removed, shots, wormed. $300-$450. Guarnateed health.

1. WTF is AKC?
2. "Dewclaws removed" Declawed like a cat?
3. Is this a fair price?

I want a white lab with tan ears.

 

american Kennel CLub
dewclaws are the claws that are up a little bit on the dogs ankle so to speak.. they are useless and could get caught on certain things, like knitted quilts..
I hear white labs are more expensive..I paid 250 for a chocoalte lab..and that was the going rate..I would say no nmore than 300.

 

Thats a pretty dog Net Wurker.

 

As Dinty said, it stands for American Kennel Club. Supposedly the foremost authority concerning dogs.

Yeah, I've heard of some people removing the dewclaws, but from what I've read
from Veternarians, it's best not to even though it really is practically worthless to the dog. It's very painful to the dog and it's easy to trim the nail when needed.

While I'm on the subject of removing body parts from dogs...to everyone...please don't crop the ears or the tails on dogs. Nature has made the ears flop over to protect the acute hearing of some breeds. If the ears are cropped the dog no longer has its natural defense against loud noises and it can make them go nuts. The tail is a natural balancer for dogs. If cut the dog will adjust but it won't have nearly the balance when running. If nothing else; check with a reputable vet.

I really can't say about the price but I'm sure your local Humane Society or pound will have several labs you might like at a much lower price.

 

My daughter and her family have a Chocolate Lab, Dutch. He is huge and a great guy. They found him, lost puppy on a WalMart parking lot. Had some health problems so may have been dumped, but after spending some money at the vet, he is fine now, about 2 years old. He is a great "kids pet" and easily trained. He is especially easily trained by my Rat Terrier when we visit. I ask Maggie if she wants to go see Dutch and she gets all excited, gets in her crate before I can load it in the truck. We get to Sugar Land and she starts growling at him as soon as I shut the engine off. She sounds as if she is going to eat him alive. He just wags his tail and they have a big game of chase. This goes on all weekend till both are exhausted. It is just hilarious to watch this 17 lb terrier dominate the 90 lb softie. He could hurt her so easily but never does. My wife and I have had several dogs and cats share their lives with us and Maggie, the Rat is probably the smartest one of all them. She is amazing. There are so many breeds I would like to have, Doberman, Border Collie, Greyhound, just to name a few. Have had lots of mutts that were strays and they make some of the best dogs in the long run. Maggie is the first registered bred dog I have had.
