Post by: Mickey1992 on February 26, 2004, 12:56:16 PM: Cool story. Considering this dog is named "Brick", I wonder what names the deceased gave his other pets.

A story ran in the paper a couple of days ago about a girl here in Wisconsin that was saved by her labs...

She was up in the Chequamegon National Forest and somehow managed to roll her SUV. She got stuffed thru one of the windows and had broken ribs, head trauma, the works. Her 3 labs survived and got out of the SUV. One of them stayed with her, the other two, ran to a house, scratched at the door until a man answered. The two labs, then grabbed his shirt and led him to the accident. She survived and now her dogs have been nominated for some dog hall of fame thingy.

Labs are the best. See my avatar... Clyde :D

Post by: Vermillion on February 27, 2004, 07:18:51 AM: I had a Lab for about 6 months.... or should I say that I had a girlfriend living with me for 6 months who had a Lab.... ;)

Nice dog, very friendly. But kinda dopey and the darned thing shed enough fur every day to kill a thousand cats with furballs.

You could literally vacuum the carpet, and an hour later there would be a solid layer of white fur on it.

I'm a boxer type myself ! Smarter, less maintenance, and way better on the allergies.

Wouldn't have any other dog. Smart as a whip, totally devoted and simply a joy to have around.

Not to mention a fine, fine hunting companion.

Post by: Raubvogel on February 27, 2004, 10:46:27 AM: My chocolate lab is the best dog I've ever had. Damn thing's like a shadow, can't even go to the bathroom without him following me and laying outside the door until I get done. Very loyal, not as smart as my Border Collie, but that's a good thing sometimes.

Post by: rpm on February 27, 2004, 11:27:03 AM: I've always been partial to hounds, just love their temperment. For a practical working dog, you can't beat the Blue Heeler (Austrailian Cattle Dog). One of the smartest dogs on the planet. If you remember the movie Mad Max, his dog was a Blue Heeler.
