Hey Rosco, Great Danes are lovely as well. My wolfie had one as a friend and it was great to see them together. Unfortunately some of the (badly behaved/trained) smaller dogs would go for him and he never ever fought back. A good thing when you realize how strong those jaws are. The only time he "fought" was over a bone with our American Staff, that happened only once and since then they were fine together (well until the cursed ex got rid of the Staff, don't think I ever completely forgave her for that). MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

We're considering getting a dog. Anyone can shed some light as to where to get a purebred labrador from? I was told to stay away from pets4homes etc. What is the 'right' way of getting one then?

Research through The Kennel Club and find an Assured Breeder. You will get a pup whose parents have been hip-scored and eye scored. Worth the cost and wait for the right dog. Current MY2020

Eugene, agree 100% about the Danes, loads of dogs have a go at her just because of her size. She usually doesnt react but occasionally has picked up the other dog and she throws them over the fence, these jaws are something but as they were bred to take down deer its not surprising. My current one is 8 next year so not got much time left however still runs around like a puppy |

alx, there are a number of good lab breeders around. We go for ones out of proven gun dogs as they seem to have a propensity for being trained and are very obedient |

These are my 3 girls, Rosie, Chloe & Kiera. I would move heaven and earth for them and even sell the wife and kids.....which I might have to do one day as the insurance renewal for Rosie (golden retriever) was over £3,000 and Chloe the White retriever was £1300, which I never renewed!

Having pets is a little like FF ownership...... It doesn't rain, it pours..... Came home yesterday to one of our Persians with blood on her cheek and an eye that looked a complete mess..... Rushed her up the vet to be told to take her immediately to the specialist eye surgeon which is about 40 miles away.... Apparently she has had a burst ulcer somewhere in the eye....
