Hi all - long time no post. Button is now 3 and a lovely pet. She has always been prone to a bit of poo eating but recently it's got ridiculous!
We feed her Beta, a dry complete food, twice a day. She was 34 kilos about 8 months ago and the vet told us she was too fat. We cut some food out of each meal and she is now 26 kilos, looks great and healthy and has more energy. I do wonder tho if this is why she's eating poo so much.

Dhe can't be trusted in the garden on her own and she will literally poo then go back and eat it. Today I took her to the forest, found her head down munching something and it was dog poo. I put her straight on the lead and kept her on it. Should I muzzle her? Fed up :(

Bruce and Kylie are pedigree Kennelclub registered chchlate labs,Bruce intact Kylie spade,both age 6.We are likely to be emigrating to NZ due to work in the next 6 months time.We could export the dogs,and cats and pony,would be a total of 17 000 pounds approx.Pony is going to be sold,if dogs can be found good homes they will also stay in the UK,cats we already know who would be their new "parents".

Would anybody be lkely to want a mature couple of dogs? Does everyone just want puppies or breeding bitches?they are house trained,good with cats,kids,teenagers,pull when out for walks but come back when called.

I would be interested to hear feedback
Best Regards

We have a 3 month old male chocolate labrador and have had him home for about 7 weeks. Until yesterday everything was going fine but last night whilst my wife was stroking Ole he made a lunge for my wife's feet and nipped them. At this point my wife eased him away telling him "no" at which point he seemed to go into a frenzy and lunged at my wife who put her hand up to protect herself, this ended with Ole biting my wife's hand and breaking the skin. This incident has clearly shaken my wife and also extremely upset my daughter who witnessed the incident and our big worry is that with our first grandchild due in May will these incidents persist. Up to this point (and we have had him for 7 weeks now) nothing like this has occurred only the occasional nipping of fingers in his mouth.
He is now getting regular walks and plenty of exercise and most people who we meet say what a wonderful dog we have, one of the best breeds that we could have and a friend for life. We are due to start puppy training this Saturday morning but in the meantime is there anything we can do to stop incidents like this happening again.
This is our first dog and love him to bits but am getting the feelng that my wife is becoming very disheartened as to Ole's attitude and any help/ information will be gratefully accepted

Wanted..Chocolate Labrador puppy to join our family. Sussex/Kent area. Lovely home awaits.

My bitch is roughly 10 months and for the last few weeks she has constantly nuzzled her back end. I have showered her using flea shampoo and checked her for fleas but she has come up clear. Does anyone know if labs have sensitive skin? Or is there anything I can do to stop her doing this?
Thanks

MY CHOCOLATE LAB HAS BEEN HAVING FITS. THE VET HAS GIVEN BLOOD TESTS WHICH HAVE COME BACK CLEAR AND CANNOT EXPLAIN THE REASON. ANY HISTORY ?

Im currently searching for a chocolate labrador bitch on behalf of my dad, and was wondering if anyone is expecting a litter in the near future. We are not looking for either a show or working dog just a good companion with good health ie hips/eyes etc. We are located in Stamford, Lincolnshire so the nearer the better but we are prepared to travel.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Hello

I live in Northumberland, and have been searching for a puppy, but the litters I've seen so far, haven't felt or looked, completely right. I want a sturdy, home reared pup, I don't mind choc or black. I would prefer from leaner background - either working or pet. I have had lovely black labs in the past, %26 have a very loving, caring home waiting for the right pup.

Willing to travel up to 100 miles, but wuld prefer a more local litter if possible.

Thank you

Chris

Hi

I have a 4 year old choc lab bitch, she is a fab dog, very well behaved. My friend is giving up her King Charles dog aged 9 months as she doesnt have time for it so my mum kindly offered to take it. My mum also watches Aero whilst im at work Mon - Fri. She is a very much loved dog who comes everywhere with us even the pub. Does anyone else have 2 different breeds of dogs with such a size diff? I am slightly worried how she will react to Alfie coming in to our life.

Advice please.

Thanks

Three months ago my Fiance bought a chocolate Lab from a reputable breeder, Mason is now about 4 months old and a joy be it exhausting at times of a pup. He is in excellent health and a pleasure to raise . One concern though is the fact that he seems to be having teething problems. He bites and chews on any thing that he can get his teeth on. our Garage doors and wooden gates look the worse for wear with Mason around. Is this normal or should we be worried. Please advise. Much appreciated.

hi my family and I are looking at potentially getting a lab we have always rescued our dogs previously but need a dog that is good round other animals as we live on a farm with cows, horses and cats so loads of fields to play in. We would like a lab between puppy or 2years. If anyone knows of a nice natured lab looking for a home please reply to this post.

On the 16th April our much loved chocolate Labrador was stolen from our garden, in Lancaster, Lancashire.
We suspect he has been stolen for breeding purposes and could be anywhere in the country.
Male, 4 years old and of medium build. He has a small white fleck below his chest and a slight kink in his tail.
He is registered with www.doglost.co.uk reference number 29259
Please can everyone keep a look out for him.
As you can imagine, we are devastated and are very desperate to find him.
Please join his facebook group 'FIND BROOK'
Thank you

Hello, I have a beautiful 6 year old Lab Kiwi, she had a litter a couple of years ago and loved been a mum. She was great with the puppies. I would love to breed again as loved the experience, is she to old?

Thanks

Hello
Not sure if anyone can help as my vet has run out of ideas.
I have been putting up with the fact that my lab chews his paws. He has had food test, blood tests ,skin tests...and apart from a sensitive skin there is nothing wrong. I am now trying a fish diet with no meat at all.
However it seems to be when I leave him alone that he chews his paws - and so I am trapped because if I leave him he chews his paws and leaving him with anyone a nightmare! He is now 10 years old and I am running out of ideas.
I leave him with little boots on his paws but this is not the answer.
Is it stress or psychological problem. If anyone has any suggestions how to stop him chewing his paws when left that would be great. thanks

I have a chocolate lab aged 11 months who is lovely apart from when going for walks. Last week i was walking him when a dog on a lead was heading towards us, i wrapped the lead aroung my hand as he is a large dog, he has a ajustable harness too but he just pulled towards the dog and dragged me over cause damage to myself. Whenever he see a dog coming towards us he get very excieted and pulls towards them not in a aggressive way. Now he is too strong for myself to take out alone while he is doing this, has anyone got any advice on what i can do to stop him doing this please ??? Also when off the lead and he see a dog he just heads straight over even if it a distance from us!! PLEASE HELP,.....

I understand how cute and wonderful this breed of dog is, but im nervous of training him to an exellent standard.

Need to know good ways of training and advice on what not to do.

He has just had his first night with us away from the litter, he was the last pup to leave a litter of 8.

Im worried he will whine and bark when im out of the house.

Hi there,
We are after a chocolate labrador puppy within the next month or so and wonder if anyone knew of any avaiable/due? We already have a big bouncy golden lab who is 4 years old, we got him from this lab rescue.
Please can anyone help?

Hi



Rolo my 6 month chocolate lab is having an awful time he has been diagnosed with both elbow and hip dysplasia along with bowel and urine problems. His dysplasia was correctly diagnosed following a CT scan at a referral vet centre after limping in both his front legs. He has been prescribed metacam which he has been taking for over 2 months and hydrotherapy.



The hydrotherapy (which he loves) at first seemed to be good for his limp but now he is limping worse than ever and is also taking tramadol as pain relief. Also doing only very light exercise on the lead at all times. We are going back to the specialist with him in May but after speaking to him his type of elbow displasia is through his joints/bones being deformed and surgery is very limited if not impossible.



He is on Hills ID food for his bowel as if not he has constant diarrhea. He also has crystals in his urine that we are trying to control by encouraging more liquids to be taken by him.



I can not believe that my 6 month old loving dog is in so much pain and discomfort and yet still trys to play and would run if allowed. I am living in a nightmare as I am watching my dog slowly becoming worse. I don’t know what to do for him and how to improve his life further. How can I make the impossible decision to end this for him at such a young age? Please help as my heart is breaking.

My 5 month old chunky chocolate lab has one green %26 one brown eye and a ring of grey around the larger part of his tail and a white flash upon his chest. Im really narked at people telling me he isn't pedigree even though i have his papers...how common is this? appreciate some replies....

HI all, we adopted a 2 yr old choc lab about 6 weeks ago, he was so excited and mounting the other dogs, etc that we had him castrated within a week or two of arrival- since then he has continuously looked for escape routes in our garden, every time we find where he is getting out, he finds another place- this is becoming worrying as he has to be supervised at all times instead of being able to wander round our big garden!! I s it because he is still smelling bitches or is he bored, etc., ?? (he has two other choc labs to play with) He goes out in the garden and seems intent on finding an escape, but seems very happy and settled into his new home- could he be looking for his old family?? We are fairly experienced dog owners but this one has certainly foxed us!! thankyou

Hi, i was just wondering if anybody has had any experience of elbow dysplasia or osteoarthritis, our six month old lab reggie has developed a limp and the vet has suggested this, we gave him a couple of weeks to see if the limp would go away but it hasnt, so we are looking to get him x-rayed to see what the problem is.......worst case scenerio do people know if surgery is an effective treatment for this or do supplements help? i would greatly appreciate some advice....thanks.

Hello,

I am thinking about buying another labrador puppy, i have noticed there are more tests now which certain breeders have done and haven't i.e Optigen pra=prcd/ cnm/ eic/elbow/hips/ bva-kc eyes/narc/ do you think essential to buy a puppy whos parents have had all these done? I am reading books on puppy's as you forget what they are like when young my lab is coming up to five years and i am worry if she will get upset and think im replacing her if i get another chocolate lab, we also have a rescue dog and they get on very well. she adores other chocolate labs.

i am wondering if to buy from our breeder which our lab comes from or to go for a differentl line. my concerns are how they will react to a new comer and not feel pushed out. i am with my dogs all the time apart from an hour to do shopping.Another concern was the age difference as i have 7 year dog/ coming up to five years bitch and worried about her being to hold time the new one matures.

we have tried rescue not labs and we got a terrier mix bitch and she started to push my two around and biting them and getting quite nasty so we took her back. people say a puppy is much easier to introduce than a mature adult dog.I walk my dogs alot and when you have a puppy i read and applied this to my lab i haven now, not to over exercise when the puppy is young 5 minutes per month so i wouldnt be able to go on a long walk which would upset our two. i use to give my lab a kong with her kibbles and play with her and while she was sleeping sneak out and take my dog out and when i came back she was in the same place.

My 4 year old black lab x gsd has just had a litter of 12 puppies! The vet suggested i supplement feeding the pups but they will not take it however much i try. They are now a week old and are all doing fine but due to the large number of pups i wondered how early i can start to wean them .

Are Labradors with a white patch on their chests less desirable? I'm trying to choose a stud dog for my chocolate bitch. Any comments appreciated.

Hi dont know if anyone can help. I have a 2 1/2 year old chocolate lab called Bailey. I take him walking with my friend and her 3 year old choc bitch (which is neutered) They run around together but then Bailey can get over excited and tries to mount her (very embarassing).

The main problem is when we meet other female dogs he will run the full length of a field after the bitch and will not return I have to walk (rather embarassed) over to where he is usally running round in circles after the bitch and try and grab his collar. I call his name blow a whistle he justs totally ignores me ! Will getting him neutered stop this ?

Hi, my lab has always enjoyed his walks but has just recently turned them into a food hunt especially on our regular walking area. All he seems to do is go off scavenging for food that may have been dropped. I know labs are renown for ther love of food but does anyone else have this problem?

Hi

My choc lab Aero is 3 and half years old. recently she has started being very aggressive with other dogs, she pulls whilst on the lead and hackles go up then she will attack. I have become very nervous about other dogs and lost my confidence with her. She never seems to do this when she is with my dad walking. She leads a very active life and is spoilt rotten. Can anyone shed any light as to why she is doing this? She has been attacked twice, once as a pup and once about a year ago. I have been putting it down to that but would be greatful for any feedback.

Thanks
Kirstine and Aero.xx

Can anybody help me please. I have two labradors under the age of two. Today whilst my husband was walking them with their leads on both with Halti head collars a large poodle (off the lead) came up to them and started to be aggressive and tried to have a fight with them. My dogs tried to defend themselves by growling and hackles up etc. The poodles owner then was aggressive to my husband and said my dogs are dangerous and should be muzzled and he was going to report him for their behaviour!! Previous to this on a separate occasion we have come across this poodle before which is always aggressive towards my dogs and my dogs obviously growl back. They have never attacked his dog or tried to bite it or any other animal. They do get very excited when off the lead and run up to other dogs (sometimes with hackles up) but never fight. Does anyone know if this man can do anything legally. I have checked the obvious dog websites and it does have one rule that says if someone is concerned that a dog may be of danger to them then it is an offence. Has anyone ever been in this situation before or can offer me any advice I would be very grateful. I am seriously worried about what this man can do.

hi, having problems with my pooch coming into season - the first few days and spotting are fine but later on she whines all the time and will not leave my other dog alone, follows around whining and trying to hump 24/7 - is there anything else we can do other than get her spayed - my other bitches have no problems with season

Hi there hope you can help. We have a 2 and a half year old chocolate lab and around 12 months ago he started growling at us when he was in his bed if we went near him to stroke him. In response to this we tend to now leave him alone as we assumed he was just being grouchy!! However his behaviour is becoming worse when we walk him. He is friendly with other dogs and people and never shows any sign of aggression towered either however when he finds a stick he is like a different dog and turns on whomever is walking him. I recently took him out and he found a stick and started a frenzied arrack which he had the stick in his mouth to which he won't let go whilst growling and becoming very aggressive. It's almost like he wants us to have the stick as goes towards us but again this is very aggressive and he ends up nipping us with his teeth. We love our dog but this is getting us really down as we don't know how to rectify this. Have you got any advice??
