He is still quite a puller on the leash and we are still working on correcting that.  He also has not calmed down with my cats.  He doesn’t try to hurt them but just won’t leave them alone.  So if you have cats you may need to find a place for kitty to escape to until he grows out of this stage.  All in all he’s a wonderful little guy.  He’s happy and healthy now and doesn’t let anything get him down except for having to quit playing to go to bed.  He does this pathetic whine/howl thing that almost makes you laugh.  But I just tell him no and he stops and goes to sleep.  Good puppy!

He had a rough start but would love to take the rest of his life living it up at your house!

*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
