Beautiful dog Scott. How's she doing and coping with lockdown?

 

Our knobhead is 1 in 2 weeks and we're making lots of progress through the difficult adolescent phase. There have been some really trying moments where I'd have happily given him up but I'd miss the stupid little bastard too much.

 

Here he is refusing to let me get back to work until he's had a tummy rub, in his favourite hiding place and being a bit of a poser.

Little cracker him mate. Is he a cockapoo? We have a brown one who’s 4, but due to hating being groomed is a lot more unkempt than yours.

He is mate. He's quite good at being groomed, the wife brushes him regularly and he doesn't mind us clipping him. His hair is more cocker than poodle, which makes it easier to groom.

 

He doesn't always look that tidy though:

My sister had one of those, sound it was, just mooched around the house, one morning a fox came in the garden and it must of leapt quite far and killed it stone dead, her kids couldn't believe it was capable of such a thing. 

Another time a lad I know was Scaffolding on this big house, he took his bull terrier with him once and the gamekeeper said don't bring it again as you see those two dogs over there, Labradors, if there's anything in the woods and I give the word they'll get it and bring it back. 

Many sides to Labradors, great dogs..

Aye. He seems very placid to me, but he's a big unit and chases everything. He caught and killed a squirrel recently and was only with some difficulty stopped from eating it.

Yes, her dog was a Chocolate Labrador too, placid, snored like an old man as it got older, it was quite old when it got the fox. 

They had a biggish garden and it went out every morning had a bark to let it be known this my territory and he knew the fox lived under the shed next door, so it probably kept it in mind and seized it's chance. 

As with most dogs it's an inbred thing that will come out at a given chance, I hope it was a Grey Squirrel? as you could of ate yourself, with beans?
