In this Blog you will hear and see some of my families' boring and interesting moments. I have 2 girls that are 10 years apart and a wonderful husband. Of course we have the gorgeous, 6 year old, Sam the Dog. Today I want to share a few traits of our sweet (untrained) dog. He drives me crazy and I'll NEVER admit that I love him to death!
Is this real our Sam? Here are some personality traits I found online about Labs.
One of the most popular breeds in the USA, the Labrador Retriever is loyal, loving, affectionate and patient, making a great family dog. Highly intelligent, good-natured, very willing and eager to please, it is among the top choices for service dog work. Labs love to play, especially in water, never wanting to pass up the opportunity for a good swim. These lively dogs have an excellent, reliable temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human leadership and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. Some may be reserved with strangers unless very well socialized, preferably while they are still puppies. Adult Labs are very strong; train them while they are puppies to heel on the leash, and not to bolt out doorways and gateways before the humans. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They can become destructive if the humans are not 100% pack leader and/or if they do not receive enough mental and physical exercise, and left too much to their own devices. Show lines are generally heavier and easier going than field lines. Field lines tend to be very energetic and will easily become high strung without enough exercise. Labs bred from English lines (English Labs) are more calm and laid back than Labradors bred from American lines. English Labs mature quicker than the American type.
Yes, Sam the Dog is loyal- so loyal it drives us crazy at times. Poor Steve is followed all day long. As I type this now he is barking at the door to go out to his daddy. Easily trained? Not in our case; well maybe that was our fault right? Sam used to be destructive puppy but I put an end to that! Yeah I just keep buying him toys! Sam is a laid back (lazy) baby
