Yellow lab, 8 weeks old, so far seems to have the makings of a great dog for the family. Hopefully I'll be getting some sleep over the next few nights...
That's a great looking pup!!
We have a yellow lab, almost three, great dogs. For the first year or so, buy him LOTS of things to chew on to save your furniture, shoes and perhaps parts of the house.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes. A stock tip for y'all since you're so nice: buy stock in Bounty paper towels and carpet cleaner... been going through it. Otherwise he's great.
Labs are great family dogs. We have two and both are great with kids. They are VERY active and love to chew, especially for the first two years or so. Another tip, buy some racquet balls. They love to chew them and chase them, too. A racquet ball and a flight of stairs or big back yard will keep both of you busy for hours.
If I had it to do over again, I would have gotten a pair of them. My year old lab wants to play with my 14 year old Russell mix and 13 year old pug. Neither of them want anything to do with the lab.
