i have a chocolate lab. he's the best and the worst. i wouldn't get a lab unless you can keep up with them. they gotta stay active and keep moving and not locked up with no one all day.

mine eats things when we weren't home, and still eats things if we are home. but he's also very protective

I've had two Golden Retrievers. They're great dogs. Both of them were/are really laid back, gentle, and friendly. They absolutely love people. They're just really sweet dogs and adorable too! I've also had an Irish Setter. She was the sweetest, calmest dog.

Ive has labs my whole life and they are great dogs. Some have been super smart and others havent. They all liked to play, fetch and swim. The one I have now has an addiction to the ball though and can be super annoying until you play with him.

I have a black lab. He's the second my family's had. They're absolutely the BEST dogs. So friendly, incredibly smart, and pretty too. Lots of personality!

We just got a yellow lab - she's about 3 months old and she's been great!

We haven't had time to get her formal training yet, but she's picking up A LOT very quickly.

We got her because we have a baby and she's so good with our daughter.

Labs are social dogs - so they love to be around people! And they do love to be outside and to be active...

Yeah, they pick things up very quickly, they can just be pretty wild. Or at least all of my labs have been.

I have a black lab, and she is absolutely wonderful. She didn't require hardly any training at all. She's an inside dog. Although they have tons of energy, they are definitely companion dogs.

My dogs are inside dogs. And I've had a total of three labs (currently have one). My yellow lab was insane. My other chocolate was the best lab. The chocolate I have now I definitely wish was like the other chocolate lab. She's energetic and has separation issues. If she doesn't run like crazy she's a bitch to deal with. I swear she had ADHD and OCD.

My golden retriever is just completely different and doesn't care what goes on. She hates to run. She looks at a...

There aren't a lot of adoption places in my area so it is going to be quite a process finding a dog since I would like to meet the dog before adopting it. I'm trying to make sure I find one that will be compatible with me and enjoy this area.

I have three big dogs and I love them. My dogs get walked twice a day and they go outside to use the bathroom but that is it unless we are spending time outside. They don't like to hang outside without us being out there with them. They are inside dogs for sure.

Labs are great dogs! I have a collie puppy. I have always loved them. My brother has a black lab and he is so friendly and sweet. He is big too. He just turned a year and weights 85 pounds!
My collie is so beautiful and sweet too. He is very protective. My friend has a rottweiler and he is a good dog (people think that they are aggressive , but he isn't)
Good luck and keep us posted!

I've always had labs. We had a black lab and now we have a yellow lab. He is inside more than out. He only goes outside if he has to go to the bathroom or if we are playing with him. And he likes to go outside and lay in the sun sometimes.

Labs are wonderful dogs but they need a lot of training and attention. I recommend crate training until they are old enough to be trusted in the house alone.

Wow, I have 2 black Labs and I've had the total opposite experience. Very little training required -- you teach them things a couple of times and they get it right away.

I've had Labs for most of my life, and it seems like...

Mine slept inside and everything but spent a lot of time outside. My parents have a huge yard and he would run around and also they would take him swimming. Labs love to swim.

I'll look up the golden retriever too.

Do you keep your dogs inside more than outside? I see that they are really active. I have a pretty big yard so the dog won't have to stay inside all day or anything.

I'm considering getting a dog and just looking at different kinds. I want something cute that gets relatively big. Ithink yellow labs are pretty.
