No - the dog should be single purpose....to work. IMO - showing is not really a purpose - just a hobby for the owner. Most show dogs are also pets...
sorry I might have missed some posts - are you talking about show or working (or both?) Lab numbers at champ shows are typically high - some shows...
I'm not saying she is fat, she is a big build though, a lot bigger then the everyday Lab, what I will ask though, well it might not look like a...
LMAO - I can relate to that :blush: I can eat like one with a memory to match :blush:
I've seen him and a number of his siblings in the flesh (and the rest of the dogs there) - he has three full siblings with 0/0 hips and elbows - that...
Whether you like that bitch or not (and that is your prerogative not to like her) to me, that contains more 'undertones' of vain-ness' than what...

I would say it's more of a working head -my youngest choccie is very similar. Lovely pigmentation, although would like to see a slightly darker...
it's a little piece of hair that runs the wrong way up the middle of the nose. They are not common, but not unusual either and certainly don't...
Awwww - he looks a happy chappy :D - My friend and I were looking at some pics of my black girl this evening trying to work out if she has a small...
Surprisingly not - the chocolate undercoat on blacks is a sign of a good coat and not an indication that they carry chocolate (of course he may well...
