My chocolate lab was a handful when I brought him home at 4 months. I honestly didn't know what I was getting into. A lab puppy is a full time job and requires a lot of patience. BUT it was worth every moment. My lab has brought out the best parts of every one in my family. I can't imagine life without my big goofy lab. He goes everywhere we go and I look forward to the next 10 years with him. (read more)

I have two Chocolate Lab puppies, one being 7 Months of age and the other of 3 months. After falling in love with the first and oldest puppy, Brantley, We just HAD to get a second, Colt.

Brantley is calm, and very chill until around bed time. Then he's running laps through our home and jumping from couch to... (read more)

We have a 3 year old chocolate lab named Penny. As a puppy she was a holy terror. Lol. But one day something clicked and she just suddenly got everything we had been trying to teach her. No accidents. You never have to tell her anything twice. My husband has even trained her to listen to snapping. You don't even have to say a word. Just snap and she knows to go to bed. She is the most loyal and loving dog. She loves the cat we got when she was 2 even though she didn't grow up with her. She's... (read more)

We got our lab from a sanctuary. He was from a puppy farm and was totally traumatised. It took 3 months of patient loving to train him but was all worthwhile. He is the most beautiful dog ever. He is so obedient and loving and no trouble at all now.You can take him anywhere. I would recommend a lab to anyone looking for a dog.Why not get one from a rescue centre or sanctuary. They are worth the effort to train. (read more)

Our chocolate lab was 13 in August. I'd like to ask you how you made the decision to put your dog to sleep. Our dog still has an appetite, but has messed in the house, peed on the floor, has a problem with her right hip so that you can hear her drag her leg when she gets up after napping. On the other hand, once she gets going, she'll walk to the mailbox, walk out onto the porch to be wih us, etc. I just don't know. Please help

Hi we have just rescued our chocolate lab from Labrador Welfare and he has been with us 8 weeks now. He sounds just like Coco, so loving, full of high level energy and always wants to meet strangers and other dogs. He was so distracted by other people and dogs and wouldn't come on recall but I had a trainer and she advised me to carry very tiny tiny pieces of cheese everywhere we went and now we have now problem with George on the recall. He is an absolute gorgeous dog and he also requires constant attention. Hope this is helpful to you.

Chocolate labs are perhaps the most friendly dog you can find. They are wonderful with kids, play continually and need lots of exercise. If you ever see chocolate labs playing with one another they recognise each other as being totally daft and full of fun. Lots of ear biting, leg chewing and chasing. Our dog is 18 months now and the best thing we have ever done for our family. Don't expect them to be useful as guard dogs. Our dog never barks, licks strangers to death and wags her tail...

We got our very first chocolate lab when he was almost 7 weeks old. He was the runt of the litter. He is now 2 weeks shy of being 7 months old and weighs in at 45 pounds. His name is Moe (the Moose) and he is VERY playful and demands all the attention. He is very smart and personable. He chews on anything he can put in his mouth and LOVES water. He loves to play with in the back yard and goes crazy if you say the word walk. He can be quite a handful at times. He thinks he is a little lap dog and is quite stubborn when you're eating and he is not. He is hyper and clumsy but is easily trainable. He can sit and shake his paw any time you ask him too. We love him and wouldn't trade him for the world.

We lost our lovely girl Biscuit, a Chocolate Lab 4 weeks ago with an inoperable tumour on the heart. Biscuit had a lovely nature, but was world class at digging enormous holes in the garden. On Friday I picked our next Choc Lab Polly, who will be with us in a few weeks. We are having the garden re-turfed in preparation, and will scatter Biscuits ashes on it when it is laid.
