Stupid. Labs are fine the way they are.
We’ve got a couple of Goldendoodles (I think that’s what they’re called) in my neighborhood -— half Golden Retriever/half Standard Poodle. Absolutely gorgeous.
I have an Aussiedor - Australian Shepherd/Lab mix. Sweetest dog ever to walk on this earth. You can take food out of her mouth and she doesn’t even resist. She’s just so confident that more food or something else good will come her way.
Yes, they are.
We had a golden, and she was a great dog. She was the best outfielder ever. I never had to teach her to fetch, she just did it. A little tough for her to drop the ball, but it only took an hour or so and she got the hang of it. I cried the day we had to put her down, it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.
But now we have another great dog, and Australian Shepard, he’s no fielder but he’s great for chasing the deer away.
Not if you are allergic to their fur.
