Doesnt matter if they are pets its something that has been bred into them for years it's not going to go away just because they are a pet. It has to do with their lines and genetics.Quote:
.Most of the labs I know are pets except for the few bird dogs for the few hunters I know here in the area.
It was a example, not saying every dog does that. There are certain breeds though that are like that like the APBT, they have dog aggression bred into them and any one who owns one needs to be prepared for that by taking the appropriate actions to prevent that.Quote:
I have always had multiple dogs in the same house and never has one drawn blood from another ever
So anyone who has a Lab needs to know they have prey drive bred into them, they will chase and unless your lab has been taught to have a soft mouth chances are they will just grab and kill. And as the owner you need to be prepared that, that could happen at any point in the dogs life.
How nice and how many beds you have does not mean anything to the dog. It needs somewhere that it can get away from everything, something that is theirs and secluded.Quote:
In my home there are six different dog beds and each dog has one upstairs and one downstairs.Then there is the couch , the fake Persian rugs with padding,the beds etc..I have a fenced in area in back of the house for the buds to hang out in when needed then there are well over 100 acres of land they can go romp in as well.
A crate is equal to a cave/den.
Cesar Millan would tell you the exact same thing, you have a dog with years of prey drive bred into it. It's pretty simple.
Go join a Lab forum, garuntee they will tell you the exact thing I just did.
Agree 100%Quote:
Well dogs are animals. Prey drive is normal regardless of breed. Not a big fan of Cesar Milan.
