I've never heard that either, Kathy. My son Dennis has owned
black labs for more than 20 years. Way lots of generations...

Wonder where those myths originate??

I have never heard that.
And never seen it in the three generations
of labs my family has had in Jody, Maggie, Rosie, Heidi and Cody. From
four
different bloodlines.

Theo! You're back! The last we heard from you, Edina was in the family way:
how many kittens? The pup is adorable - I always used to have both dogs and
cats together; the interaction between the species is great to watch, let
alone the way they interact with humans G. There's a joke that goes
something like this: Dogs: They provide my food and water, my home, and
attend to all my needs - they must be GOD! Cats: They provide my food and
water, my home, and attend to all my needs - *I* must be GOD!

Gotta love 'em!

She (12 weeks old), named Patsy (one of our cats was already called Edina)
fell into the turtle pond after only 6 days LOL.

Hi again to the regulars BTW. My pond is doing very well, pond has never
been so clean both mechanically and biologically, and yet I've never seen
string algae this long (over 4 ft :eek:), but the fish are thriving and
growing like mad (pond was heated all winter, now 14°C).

The dog so far is only interested in the pellets that I drop when feeding
the fish.

She also has the habit of posing like a football hooligan ;)

Have fun, hope your ponds are well after this winter.

I didnt know that either, but then I have a Papillon and am on a Pap list and people
there have had more problems with charging labs than other dogs. We have always had
ESS (springers) and our current 1 yo snot Harry Potter charges at everything, the
doors, the walls, the chairs. I have seen him put one of his big feet on Foxy our
Pom and push her around the floor like a dust mop. HP has already caused damage to
Sims my Pap resulting in 8 stitches to his scalp. It isnt like HP doesnt know indoor
from outdoor, for example he doesnt hurt the bunnies when DH lets em out but then he
is keeping a close eye on HP. Outside I wouldnt be surprised if his contact with
bunnies would be terminal .. deliberate or not. Ingrid

I'm sure that any dog within any breed can
have aggression problems due to any number
of factors.
We never let our dogs make 'friends' with strange dogs at the park or strange
toddlers for that matter ;-) and we've had people with their dogs and children
try and chase us down so they can play with our dogs. Just not going to take
that chance. We always leave the sidewalk and
walk away from them and that still doesn't stop them! 'Madam, leash your
toddler, please!'

Hey Lee,

In the end, Edina did not have kittens, probably due to a spontaneous
"abortion" (we never noticed, that's what the vet told us). Funnily
enough, she is now very much pregnant again, we'll see what happens.

Cats & dog are often in the same room these days, and it goes quite well.

LOL @ the God thing, it rings very true to me :-)

Patsy has avoided the pond apart for drinking (well, very loud slobbering,
the cats look in disgust when she drinks, eats or farts :D), that's a good
thing I hope.

Oh well, off to see what she's ripping apart this time ;-)

I think as with any dog, one has to realize that behind the cute puppy look
slumbers a potentially dangerous animal. So you do have to work with them,
a lot, and keep them in check. But first of all, we want her to trust us
completely, and try to educate her through reward, not punishment.

That's sometimes hard when she craps on the carpet after just having had a
long walk (yek ! :-) but in the end will be worth while IMHO.
