Clapper,

<You have a had a few of them and I was wondering what to expect. They seem like great dogs who are good with kids.

However what has me scratching my head is why a someone would get rid of a purebred lab. The dog has been there for almost a week and is where the police tell folks to pick up their lost dogs. What might be their bad habbits? Like to chew up stuff? >

Ralph was a kid loving fun dog. As a pup, he did chew things up but grew out of it. Every cage, containment area or line I attached him to he was like Harry Houdini. When I got the invisible fence, his rambling days were over until we took him Canada or NH on vacation. He was a total food thief and shed hair...they crap a lot. He was the best dog - we truly loved him as a member of the family. He was hilarious and had a great sense of humor - great travelling dog in the car.

You can't go wrong.

clappy -

if i were to consider getting a large dog,
it would be a lab.

they are very intelligent and sensitive
which is why, i guess, so many eye-seeing
dogs are labs. i'm sure any bad habits she
might have could be trained out of her.
altie knows.

i need to fill a void too.
