And when she was in heat, oh my what a mess.
I've see those English labs. They seem to have a completely different personality and would make much better pets. I went on a business trip out of state, and while I was gone, hubby had bought Sugar for our girls. It was a surprise to me. I think the English is what hubby had in mind, but had not done any checking into the breed.
Your pup looks like he will grow to be like the one our lawyer has in his office. His is a really nice dog!!!!

Oh my, Marilyn! I'm so sorry that Sugar was so destructive!! But I am all too well aware that his how labs can be. My husband grew up with labs and his lab that his parents currently have ate through an air conditioner outside in the backyard!!!! We are going to keep our little guy in a crate when we are not at home or not able to supervise him. And he comes from a long line of show dogs, not hunters. So we are really hoping that if we give him the proper amount of exercise and stimulating activity and keep him in a crate that the destruction will be kept to a minimum. Keep your fingers crossed for me!!!!
