Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with a Vaginal Prolapse with a unmated 2yo bitch?

One of our girls, who resides with a other family has had to be sprayed due to this, the vet has advised this can happen from forced separation or extreme cases of constipation however no sign of constipation has been observed.

Bump bump bump!!

thanks wsandgrubber and rubystar. i will defintly write all these down ad they will be a top consideration before any purchase of a puppy.

\Obviously some of these cant be gaureteed but i will definalty keep them in mind.

And ruby str thanks for the link if i didnt have 4 young kids i would adopt one in a heart beat. BUt any puppy we get needs to be bought up with kids if that makes sense.

I understand where you are coming from, wanting a puppy to grow up with your kids, but a very important point to remember is - a Labrador puppy is far from easy!!!! They are extremely boisterous, bowl little kids over in their excitement (or just walking past), they are quite mouthy and can nip the kids hands, feet, ankles, clothes, etc, so therefore need a LOT of training to mould them into the perfect well behaved family member that sometimes the media can portray them as.

Don't discard an adult rescue entirely as they can easily blend into the family as if they had always been there ;) Labs just want to be with their people and to please, so an older Lab will be more placid and should cope really well with your kids wanting to smother them with hugs And they will be well and truly out of the nipping stage and knocking the littlies over!

A rescue doesn't automatically = problems. Some are rehomed for many reasons, and many might have been raised in a family environment. You only need to meet a few with your kids to see what I mean and to find the perfect fit

100% on the money their Rubystar....Lab puppies are far from easy an older Lab would fit in to the family better they are far more relaxed and placid for kids

ohhhh noooo I have the Kings of leon concert with OH that night

damm it!! would love to have come...have fun ladies drink lots of wine for me.

Hi All,

I just recieve notification that our choosen kennel name has been taken , it took me ages to come up with it so this time I need help from fellow DOLers...

late next year we are planning on breeding our lovely labrador Lily Rose but also in the future we am hoping to add newfoundlands to our family to show and breed. I was thinking a play on words to describe the two breeds or in another language...all help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated

**small prize for the winner** :D

my friends pup got up on the coffee table and ate a whole bowl of these....lets just say he had a very sore tummy and a wasabi bum for a week....poor little guy was scared to fart
