QUESTION: Why would a supposedly purebred lab puppy have a pit bull face? I was told it was because of where it was bred.

the best proof you can get to tell a purebred from a non-purebred is by seeing a dog's parents for yourself and the dog's paperwork. it could be a mix quite possibly.

QUESTION: I have an 8 month old lab mix. I am noticing that when she is sleeping she is urinating. She doesn't do it any other time and she doesn't seem to be in any discomfort she just leaks when she sleeps. Do you have an idea of what is causing this and what can I do to stop it.

QUESTION: Hello, I suspect my precious lab retriever is pregnant. She has been my running partner for 2 years now. I am wondering if running with her while she is pregnant is a good idea. We typically run 3 days a week between 5-10km each day.
I know she needs exercise but is running with her going to hurt her?

QUESTION: Will be keeping a 4month old Lab that has been staying inside but we are not allowed to keep inside house and will have to keep it outside in our fenched yard what should i do
Anonymous - 3/26/2012 3:38:32 PM
Respond to Question
Keeping your lab outside all the time is actually not a problem if you have the appropriate facilities. You will need a large fenced area for the dog. If your yard is not fenced, you will need a stake out line. The dog will need access to clean water, shade, and shelter at all times. Make sure that you clean up after the dog daily. Also, set aside time to play with and exercise the dog. If left alone to long, Labs can get into mischief.
Anonymous - 4/25/2012 3:45:21 PM
keeping a dog permantly outside isnt such a good idea. i would suggest having a crate inside the house instead. but you should give him/her a safe place by building/buying a doghouse to put outside. slowly introduce him to it and soon he will be able to sleep in it. but still make sure he gets the daily love and interaction each day!

QUESTION: Do Labrador Retriever's need to be in a fenced yard when playing fetch?
Anonymous - 3/21/2012 6:50:07 PM
Respond to Question
Labs are good retrievers. hense the name of the breed. Start in a fenced area to avoid distractions until your dog has learned the game. praise your dog up when they bring the toy back to you. A huge part of what they get from the game is interaction with you. Once you are confident that your dog is not distracted by other people, pets, cars, ect.. you won't need to be in a fenced area. But still be mindful of the environment. A semi controled area where there is no chance of the toy going into a road or parking lot is the minimum you should be looking for.

Respond to Question
if your lab jump on you, pinch both their paws and say off and they will never jump on you again or cross your arms and give them no attention and do not touch them at all because attention is all they're looking for, whether negative or positive.
Anonymous - 4/8/2012 4:21:34 PM
When you Lab jumps on you or anyone else, gently knee them down. In packs, when dogs use their rear legs it is to show the seriousness of an interaction. Instruct you guests before they come over or interact with the pup and it won't take him/her long to learn the jumping up is not acceptable.

Getting your Male Fixed will not solve the problem. Redirection and proper training will solve the problem. Also I feel at 12 month's old your lab should be fixed by now to stop unwanted breeding and to curb the chance at improper back yard breeding.

Check with your vet for ideal weight for your dog's frame. As a rule of thumb, you should be able to see your dog's waist. A trim dog will be healthy and live longer. Labs are chow hounds. Don't go by how much they want to eat, but set a specific amount each day that you give them. If you give lots of treats, remember to count that as part of their daily total.
