Our Chocolate Lab Semi is a pure bred lab. She is absolutely the most loving animal I have ever had. She is super friendly, and greets everyone. I have seen my share of people jumping from the nose in their butt or crotch, Like they say, it's a dog thing! Often referred to as out Wal-Mart greeter. She has only shown aggression from someone with a stick or stick like object. Put the stick down and she is ready to be loved on.
Susan, Robs wife, got down in our floor and layed on her. She is often used as a pillow by me when I need to lay down because of my back. She will lay there until you get up. The grand kids have fell on her, tripped on her, layed on her, and never a least little bit of anger. A miniature Chihuahua at the flea market once scared her to death. ANY dog, of ANY size will make her cower, if they show aggression towards her. She has yet to pee or poop in the house. She has never chewed anything. The closest she has ever come to tearing anything up is her baby( a stuffed animal) while playing, but if she hears it start to tear, she will let go. If you make a "hurt" sound while she has it, she will let go.
point is If I could have another like her, I would. My biggest fear is when she has lived out her life, the next companion won't be able to hold a candle to her.
If you want to visit her, she will be with me at the DPG invite this weekend.
