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... :) ...
