My current lab is the best dog i have ever had. She is smart. Almost to smart.
She is also perfect around little kids. I have seen a 3 year old just throw herself ontop of my dog, while she was laying down and all she got was a licked face and a tail wag.
Little kids pull on her ears and tail, she doesnt mind.
Labs Chew, so keep chew toys around.
Hell my lab is even a good Jeep dog.
