You'll Hate this Dog gone

I have told this to a few people since learning it from a friend and most of them disbelieved me, what people don't seem to understand is that labs are primarily working dogs and are very intelligent they can and will be as soft as anything and totally trustworthy once they understand their role in life and as long as they are exercised and not allowed to get bored
Break those simple rules and allow them to think they are pack leader early on in life and you can end up with 8 to 10 stone of aggressive bully, keep to them and you will have a faithful friend for as long as they live
I have owned 3 labs from pups and the nearest to any real aggression I have seen is my first (Chip) who hated one dustman, the other lads were no problem and used to just chuck him back in the gate but the one he would have eaten whole given the chance, I am sure that particular bloke did something to him but could never get to the bottom of it
The only other time he grumped was when my half sister was born and he wouldn't let her dad near the pram for days unless me or my mum were there with him ......... Still wish I could have had more than 15 years with him
The other 2 labs never showed any sign of aggression at all, I would have (and did) trust them with absolutely anyone kids included Chip never had a lead and didn't need it the other 2 did but only to stop idiots that don't know how to train a dog from bitching
My partner has an old English show cocker soft as a brush and loves being stroked by anyone. He has a thing about postmen though and barks like chuff at them. Carolyn is convinced that one in the past did something to him. Its the uniform that gets him going not the person in it.
Labs at eight to ten stone? We’re they on steroids or something? That’s bigger than Gia and she’s ‘only’ seven stone.
It’s not uncommon - uniforms get me going as well……
Boy scout uniforms don’t count
In your opinion….
I can relate. Almost 22 years down the line and the sight of Mrs P in her uniform still has, um, an effect on me.
When I was about thirteen we had new neighbours. The wife was a BA stewardess.
I was at a very impressionable age……
Chip was just under 10st of eating machine but in proportion, not fat, I am not sure he was pure lab or some sort of throwback but I did take him off a lab breeder as they were going to put him down due to a ginger stripe down his back and suffering fits early on in life , on his hind legs he could easily look me in the face and I am 6ft tall, his favourite trick (on command) and funny for the unwary .... I often wondered if he had some ridgeback or something oddball in him due to his size and the stripe .... the circumstances of me getting him didn't really leave room for questions
In every other way he looked and acted like a well trained lab
The other 2, both black were big enough but nowhere near his size
Schoolgirl????
A mates rottie is as soft as anything just as long as you are not wearing a hat and entering their house, you dont make that mistake more than once trust me
My son‘s in laws are ‘dog people’. They sadly had their elderly Labrador pit to sleep and replaced it with a very young chocolate brown Labrador. We went to theirs shortly after they got it, the dog was out of control including nipping at feet non-stop.
Next time we went there, probably six months later’ he wouldn’t get off his bed when we arrived without being given permission to do so, despite his tail going like a manic metronome. A dream of a dog who seems ecstatic to be alive, everyone loves him.
proper training.

Watch out for that tail as he gets older, they end up like a well swung iron bar easily leaving bruises
If you think I‘m posting a pic of me burd in her uniform on here just so you can get yer creepy little jollies, you can fuck right off!

And I don't mean you, ya twat....!

I was thinking he must‘ve been a cross with something big. Gia is 45kg and I see a few Labs when we walk and none of them are anywhere near. That said, there’s a few varieties of Labs so there might be some big ones kicking around but they’re not common.
We had that with Gabe when he was here. He didn’t need to bite Mrs P, he could’ve just twatted her with his tail.
