Not the Brightest Bulb but So Loveable

I have a 2 year old lab and while she might not be the smartest dog, she is loyal and loving and my kids absolutely love her. She loves to sit on your lap and have her belly rubbed, but definitely needs alot of exercise view more

The love of my life

I have two Labrador Retreivers, Coco and Macy. Coco is 5 and Macy is almost 3. They are my children and very much part of my family. They are there for me when ever i need someone and they are always excited to see me. Macy is my baby and i treat her that way, she sleeps on my lap most evenings and i wouldn't have it any other way. I would recommend to any family or person to get a dog, labs especially. They are so smart and loving and great with people and other dogs. I would not live without one! view more

My soulmate

I from the longest time wanted a chocolate lab and finally got one 8 years ago. I had read up on the breed and had a black lab before but nothing prepare me for Riley. She was like Marley a bad bad puppy. I thought the only reason she was so cute was that saved her life. She chewed everything and never slept. She out grew that and she has been my soulmate. I would honestly be lost with out my baby. She has a personality and I swear is part human. She must constantly be touching me. I take her to my parents who refer to her as her granddogger and she circles the house making sure her family is safe....she never sleeps when she is there up and down.
about a month ago I added a yellow lab to our family. And I don't regret it at all. Labs are amazing and luckily I find my children! view more

The absolutely BEST dogs in the world!

I found two black lab puppies online that were at a kill shelter. I called to inquire about them and was told they had already been marked to be put down that day. I asked them to please hold off until I could drive the hour or so to the shelter and pick them up. I made it in time & brought home the 2 best dogs a family could ask for. They are now 3 years old and have provided me, my husband, and 2 kids the most joy and happiness I could imagine. They are my furry little kids and I adore them both! view more

My four legged kid!!

Twelve years ago my daughter blessed me with a baby lab. I thought she had lost her mind.
This was the starting of a new kind of love. The first year was tough, chewed everything even the walls, bannister, trees.. but once we grew out of that I had a the most awesome dog. Always happy to see me, never complained, asked for allowance, car keys only time and attention that was given back 10 fold. When someone asked how many children I have I answer two 2 legged and 2 four legged. Now if I could have at least a 1/4 of the bed it would be perfect.
I now have a grandson and they are fantastic with him. Guard and get in trouble with him. When he was in diapers they alerted me to stinky ones. They endure dressing in costumes and playing Star Wars with him. What a blessing for my family and any family with a lab. Highly recommend them for a pet. By the way, they think they are lap dogs and not outside animals. Be prepared to share your chair, bed and all personal space. view more

Best Dog especially for kids

I love my Lab she is great she has tons of energy and not a mean bone in her body, unless someone would try to harm on of her family. Loyal doggies with lots of love. Mine is going on 11yrs old and never had to many health problems my son has been able to poke, prod and of course try to sit on her like a horse and she has never growled or show any aggression that one. Just very hyper at times!! view more

great dogs, but high energy

I love labs but when considering one for a pet please make sure that you have time for them. They require a lot of love and attention and they tend to be jumpers. but they are also very loyal, affectionate and protective. view more

GOD, thank you for these beautiful creat...

I am the proud parent of multiple pets. 3 labs and 1 mini dasch. My oldest is Midnight, (should be named Princess). She is 12 and a very sensitive girl. She knows when I am supposed to come home and waits by the door for me. My second was a gift as well. She was registered as Midnight too. I watched her for a bit and when she kept chasing butterflies in the fields, I deceided to name her Daisy, she is now 7. Our neighbor's dog, Hunter (black lab 14 grand champs in blood) jumped our 5 foot fence. He "befriended" Daisy. 63 days later Daisy had 10 pups. 7 male 3 female. All 3 females were chocolate. Four chocolate males and 3 black. Each pup took almost an hour, not the 1/2 hour they say. LONG night! I kept one little girl, named Posha (means my friend), The mini-dasch, Sassy (1 1/2 years old) became a wonderful extra mommy to the little pups. She ended up producing milk, lactating for them. She was very happy to help Daisy with such a BIG job. What a JOY they are. If I had more money I would save more. So for now I just love mine to death, and go to the humane society and love all I can there. : ) view more

The Best Dogs, Hands Down

These are really the best breed of dog ever. I had one yellow and one chocolate labrador-chesapeake retriever mix. They were so lovable and great guardians. They would never bite, scratch, or growl at anyone and were always very playful. They loved to play fetch outside but actually did not like water which I found surprising. I love them so much. view more

Lovable and Loyal!

I had my first lab when I was very little and I can remember her being the most gentle dog, always good with me (as an infant and older) and loving. Poor baby had to be put down when I was only 7.
Fast forward to my current love-muffin - that's right, I called him my love-muffin. A black lab, he couldn't be any different than the girl we had when I was younger yet still has that same endearing quality. He is playful and as much as one can say a dog does, I know he cares a lot for me.
I have been around black and chocolate labs for my entire life and I can honestly say they (and I am sure yellows, too) are my absolute favorite dog breed. As I said earlier, they are loving and loyal and though the ones I have been with a vary rambunctious and playful, are still gentle when the time calls for it.
A good hunting dog if trained right and truly man (or woman's!) best friend! view more

My adopted lab

I adopted a 4 year old black lab. She would not hunt so that owner didn't want her. I have been so happy with my pooch. She is great with my kids and other dogs. She is scared of loud noise but likes to swim in the lake like a fish. Look out geese. She is a real lovey dog. The are smart and learn quickly. My dog does not seem to want to run away. Only issues are dry skin in the winter, ear infections in summer from swimming and a bout with pancreas issues. I had to put her on a diet with limited content and now she is 100% better. I would get another if I could afford it. view more

Katie, our pet shelter Labrador.

I had gone through a divorce and started dating and met the man of my dreams. We got married and my daughter from our previous marriage was having a hard time with all the changes in her life. She wanted a pet so bad, so my husband and I went to our local shelter to see what they offered. We new instantly we wanted Katie. She was a black lab that had been abused and dropped off in the country. We visited her and took her on walks about 3 times, to make sure she liked us. Then we put a bow on her and took her home to give to my daughter for her Birthday. Now my daughter is on her own, she left Katie with us, as she could not bear to take her from her new found home. 11 years later we still have our Katie, I have had many pets over the years, but she is the most kind and gentle lab I have ever seen. So many friends and family comment on her wonderful nature. We also have a minature schnauzer my kids and hubby purchased and surprised me with for Christmas. They are best of buds. view more

I love my dog!!!

This dog is the best, he is sooo smart and cute. I have never seen a dog so grateful as this breed, they just love being around you and playing. I have a 5 yr old chocolate Labrador and he is the best, he still acts like a puppy and takes my shoes and run around the house just to get my attention. They are really great, but BEWARE they eat a lot!!! view more

Family Friend For Life

My first dog is a black lab and while he has his quirks even at the age of 11...including loving everything that even remotely smells or tastes like food...he has been a wonderful, otherwise very well-mannered dog helped by positive reinforcement on our part in training early on and throughout his life. You must be willing to put some time and effort in training any dog, although this breed you will find is more family-friendly than some breeds...I highly recommend labs! view more

Water dogs

I have had many dogs over the years and labs have to be my favorite. We have 2 - a yellow (white) Enlish Lab and a chocolate American Lab. The only difference between the two is the English one has a boxer shaped head and a tail that's like a whip when it hits you. They're both terrific, fun, loving dogs. They are great to take on vacation both love the water !! Perfect for our camping and boatng trips. view more

Black Labs are always puppies at heart

I've had a black lab for a little over 2 and a half years, and she is my favorite dog of all time. Black labs in particular seem to be perpetually in a playful puppy frame of mind. My girl is supersmart, good-natured, and easy to please. She does need ALOT of attention and will let you know it! MY 90 lb darling still thinks she can fit between my feet for a nap and doesn't have any clue how big and heavy she is. Three things to keep in mind: 1. you need to devote alot of attention and time to this breed and will see wonderful results if you do, 2. if you get a lab puppy, be prepared for LOTS of chewing during the first year and 3. though my dog LOVES children, she also likes to jump, so expect labs to need constant supervisions around the little ones. view more
