Their shedding is legendary isn’t it? Especially when they are blowing out their undercoats.
One thing I would add is that you must train yourself and every other person in the house to pick up everything off of the floor. Labs are voracious and they’ll eat anything: socks, underwear, gloves, you name it. My lab ate one of the kid’s booksocks and it got lodged in her intestine and wouldn’t pass. A $1500 operation later, she was fine but went on swallowing other stuff until we broke the kids of using their floors as a hamper.
Goodness YES!
We had black Labs for years and years; when it looked as if our ancient old girl was going to have to be put down at 14 y/o, I told the boys to go out and get *some other type of dog*...at that point in our lives, everyone wore black pants and trousers, carpets were dark grey; well, boys came home with a yellow Lab! *She's *different* right mom?* That initiated all trousers and pants and carpeting to change to khaki color! and it ushered in an era of yellows. Whom we loved to death! but shed just as bad as a black.
We're back to black it seems....Salamander sent me this image we can relate to.....;D
