Breedia Dog Forum
You probably realise this but I'll say it anyway: do not get a German Shepherd or Akita or Visla. They need a LOT of exercise and also, Akitas are...
Just to add that Labs are also very much a breed that likes and needs a lot of attention and affection. Dexter will follow me into the shower if I...
My Lab is two - at that age they tend to have a lot of energy! Your relatives will need to be prepared for a very strong, possibly very excitable...
Many thanks - this addresses my original question :) Thank you to everyone who answered, I have learned quite a bit from reading this thread...
I was under the impression (wrongly maybe) that all White was not a 'desirable' colour for this breed? If that is correct, and if breeding for...

I've noticed both on this forum and on various other dog sites, that GSD owners in particular often seem to say that the breed is 'special' and/or...
What a lovely thread :) All the dogs are gorgeous!
Part Beagle? She's adorable :)
How exciting! :mrgreen: Sounds like it all went really well and he sounds like great fun! Bet you can't wait to bring him home :)
