GREAT pic. I'm a Lab guy all the way. Lost mine almost 2 years ago - really tough. It's about time to make a new relationship with another great lab. It will never replace my old friend, but I think it's about time to move ahead. Thanks for that picture. She looks sweet.

Very nice Labs, PD.

In general,any difference between Yellow's and Blacks as far as personality, smartness, obedience, ease of training etc...

I've been thinking of a Black Lab but you guys are changing my mind! All 3 are awesome!

Bad Crab? Dead dog

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Been seeing a lot of crabs up on the beach on the falling tide lately. Then today, my brother tells me that a two year old yellow lab from his litter died in twelve hours.... Dog ate a crab on the beach in the morning, sick all over the house at noon, to the vet for antibiotics in afternoon, dead at 9pm.... Vet said dog died of botchilism, from the crab. Will try to find out more, but never heard of this before. FYI, happened in Swampscott, but don't know whether those beaches have been closed for high bacteria this year.

I owned two Labs and never forgot what my vet who also owned two Labs told me. Labrador Retrievers are one of the very few breeds of dogs who will literally eat themselves to death, whether by simple over indulging or eating bad food. He told me he see's a lot of case of poisoned Labs due to the fact that they will eat things that most other animals dont see fit to eat.

Pipe, whadda great pic...CLASSIC ;) ;D ...

Tin, I've had several blacks over the years and as much as I LUV 'em, these light-colored yellows beat all I've ever seen for stayin' CLEAN ... Kate will be 2 on the 16th...NEVER had a bath and sleeps on our bed nightly...and if you knew my wife, you'd REALLY appreciate that...she's a CLEAN freak...I can't even track into the house w/ out ketchin' $hit ::) ...anyway, I also think they handle the summer heat down here a little better w/ light coats...but as far as all you asked about above, they're everything a black is, too ;) ...you won't go wrong... :) ...

Labs (as well as other dogs) have been known to overeat, as well as eating things they shouldn't. Our younger dog (on the left in photo) partially ingested a dead mole, which I suspect had been poisoned. He was only around 6 months old at the time, and we feared we would loose him. Vet endoscoped (sp?) his stomach -- it was full of ulcers. It took nearly a full month for recovery, and during that time he could hardly eat, and that in what should have been prime growth spurt. I believe to this day that he would have been larger than our older Lab, but for the illness. To this day we "monitor" our dogs whenever they're outside -- I don't intend to let anything like that happen again. (He STILL wants to pick up dead stuff!)

Tin, according to the "experts," there is no difference in black, yellow and chocolate except color. My wife, with 23 years of experience in the veterinary field, will tell you different. Blacks and yellows are very much alike, but she maintains chocolates are . . . well . . . stupid. BUT, one of the nicest Labs I know is a chocolate, so there you go. I put more stock in breeding and training/handling as to what kind of dog you end up with. If we lived Up North, we'd probably have gotten blacks, but like Reel said, it's hot enough in the South for a yaller dog, much less a black dog since black absorbs more heat from the sun. And as Reel also noted, it's much easier to spot dirt, ticks or fleas on a yellow Lab than a black (and easier to see them at night!).

I could go on . . . a subject near and dear to my heart . . . ::)

Well guys, these pictures got me wanting another one so I called a buddy up in Georgia that has one and is real involved with a trainer/breeder in Auburn, AL. I told him to keep his ear to the ground for one. He called me back and his trainer found one. She is a 2 year old chocalate that needs a home. The current owners are moving and cant keep her. He said she is healthy loves their kids and LOVES to retrieve. He is supposed to email pics. Ill put em up if I get em.

I would prefer a pup, but have had several labs over the years I acquired as older dogs and they were wonderful pets too. I should be heading up that way this weekend to work on the hunting property. I will bring her home with me if I do. if not he is going to take care of her there till I come up.

he is checking back with em now to make sure they still have her.

Her name is "Hershey" ;D

Fetchin' hell...more like WEARIN' IT!!... ;) ;D :-*...

No kiddin' Stinky...that sweet little fishin' buddy you showed us the other day...she'd love to have a big ol' lab to pal around with ;) ;D ...I think dogs are good for kids...but hey, that's just me...

I agree RAP, I grew up with labs and loved it!

Of course I was a boy toolin around in the woods and fishin in ponds, but still, labs are great for kids.

We have a little cocker spaniel, but he gets kinda lonely (yes he is fixed) and needs a pal too. My little girls love him, but there is just somthin about havin a big ol labrador that I think kids like. I know I did.
