Forget poor buddy, godlove'im. Here's my dilemma. We have a wonderful choc lab. A better dog does not exist. 2+ years and the most beautiful animal you could lay eyes upon. Did I say he is great? Ok enough accolades. He's a family dog although my older son wants to call him "his" dog.

Ok, so we've been toying with getting a female (choc lab, of course) to be his mate and all that. This past weekend, my 9 year old daughter went and visited a place where she spent the whole day with a litter of 6 week old pups. I guess they're pugs or jack russells or that size kind of dog. They're probably a mix of some kind. Anyway she fell in love and cannot stop thinking about this (male) pup. She says she doesn't care about it not being a choc. lab. This is her dog. She can FEEL it. This is the dog she's been waiting for. She KNOWS it. She told him she would be back for him.

Sheesh. Any words of wisdom out there for us?

Me and my wife just went and got a couple of puppies this weekend from the shelter - fine mutts, Malamute/Shepherd/Lab mixes. If your daughter is bonding with that dog, IMO it would be more important to get her the puppy she wants and not worry about breeding - but that's just my opinion.

Jack Russells are beautiful dogs, very energetic, I read that you really have to be willing to give them a good workout, they need to keep busy. Just the cutest dogs.
