Hi Mike,

Can I ask where you got him from please, I lost my BT Alf in December and am really struggling to find another

Labs are docile but stupid.

Really !! after breeding and training Labs for near on 40yrs now i think you could be a bit off the mark there, you could say that about any breed of dog but its all down to how that dog was treated and trained back when it was young, and all that falls back on to its owner and that is usually the stumbling point !!, there is a young Lady not far from me who trains Labs and Spaniels for the Police, border security and the fire brigade for firearms detection, drugs, accelerants and laundered cash, her success rate with these dogs is approx 85% pass rate, her kennels are full of dogs like about 60 of them at all different stages of training and i would say 70-80% are labs so for you to say Labs are docile and stupid i think your a bit out with that quote and just take a step back and look at the owners of the Labs you have seen and i will bet i substantial amount that them owners are totally clueless when it comes to buying and training a dog ??,

Labs are born half trained and spaniels die half trained . 🙂
