Labrador

Ever since I was young I wanted a dog and when I moved out my partners dog came to live with us, Henrys a very sociable dog who does love company either from another dog or people. My youngest Labrador Bella, entered our lives 5 years ago and boy did she change things. We already had a German Shephard and our male Labrador but we didn't realise Bella came from working lines, this basically means shes a sleek, speedy girl who needs to use her brain to tire her out as not amount of exercise seems to (we did a 12 mile walk and she was still bombing around like no tomorrow). We have completed the good citizen scheme, bronze, silver and gold and started competing in agility ...  Read the complete review

Warning - this review is heavily biased! There is however nothing at all I can do about that as the owner of Lily, a one and a half year old black labrador who is my absolute pride and joy. When our faithful Welsh Springer Spaniel died about two years ago we vowed we would never get another dog as we couldn't replace her and it was too much work etc etc. It didn't last long as we are basically a doggy household and missed the presence of a canine companion just too much!

We have a Honey living with us who is the most adorable yellow Labrador who does not have a nasty bone in her body. We have always kept dogs but this is the first labrador we have owned and I wonder how we have done without one for all this time. Honey is six this year and getting a little grey around the muzzle but still has her puppy moments. She asks for very little, just regular food, a little exercise and a huge amount of love and attention. Labradors are notorious for the length of puppyhood they go through, Honey was still chewing shoes, chairs, door frames (anything made of wood) until she was well pass her second birthday and they do take devotion to get ...  Read the complete review
