Here are some pictures especially for...

...all of you who have requested new pictures (I'm pretty sure you know who you are ;) )

We went for a walk tonight, and I was going to try and get some new pictures of the boys. Unfortunately, the MOSQUITOS were out with a vengeance, so I didn't get too many before we ran for cover. :mad: :p

Malone was heeling ever so nicely! :) I tried to get pictures of Em heeling, too, but it was too difficult. :p

And here are some semi-posed pictures that I took recently. Sorry they aren't very good quality!!

Wags at ya,

Pam here! What neat pictures! Gosh it looks like Emerson has been with you forever. He is a "natural" next to Malone in these pictures and so attentive to your hubby! Good job on photographing a black doggie! Trust me, I know it's not easy! LOL! What cutie patooties! :)

Awwww, I'm in heaven...my two favorite Labby boys! :D;)

I'll do your lawnwork...but I expect lots of Malone and Emmer kisses in return. :p;) Maybe I could even bring Moose along to help out and make it a Lab trio. :D

Ohhh, it's so nice to see new pictures of Malone & Emerson! They are both just too sweet!!!!

Awwww Malone and Emerson are both very handsome boys!:D I love seeing pics of them...thanks for sharing:)

Beautiful, handsome and clear pictures of the two.
Mosquitos do have a way of ruining outside fun. :(

Malone and Emerson are both so handsome! Great Pics! Love seeing new pictures of your two:D

Thank you for the lovely comments! :)

And Brooke, you can be expect TONS of Emmer-kisses!! :p:)

Those pics are great! I think I've asked before, and, I'm sorry I keep forgetting, but, how old is Emerson? He looks so big! How much does he weigh now?

Emerson is 9 months old (he was born August 6, 2003) and he weighs somewhere around 55-60 lbs. He IS a big boy, but not necessarily overweight.

Thanks for asking. :)

Oh! I wasn't implying at all that he looked overweight, I hope you didn't think that. I'm just still getting comments about Finn being small, and, I just don't see it. But, he's not quite 5 months and he weighs 40 pounds. So, I wanted a bit of a comparison with another Labrador puppy! :) They're both so pretty! I'm hoping to get some pics of Finn up soon. It's not as easy as it used to be, but, hopefully soon....

Oh no, no! I didn't think you were implying that at all. I should have explained!

See, Malone is very skinny & lanky, whereas Emerson is short and stocky; and I can't stop comparing them. From day one, I thought Emerson was a bit chunky, even after the vet said that he was perfect. So my comment stemmed from my own thinking, not anybody else's. I hope that makes sense to you. :p

Gotcha. That makes perfect sense! Finn is more Malone's build. I think he's going to be tall and lean. But, there are probably more labs out there that look like Emerson. That seems to be the look that most people want. It's definitely the look of most of the ones in the show ring, from what I've seen anyway. I think they're both beautiful, just different! :)

I like that ;)

My understanding is that there are actually two labrador breed standards. One is the American Standard -- tall and lanky, like Finn or Malone; and the other is the English Standard -- which is short and stocky like Emerson. I've never seen that in official writing, but that's my understanding.

That's so odd that you would say that about the American and English! A lady at the dog park was saying that about a week ago, and, it was the first time I'd ever heard that! Interesting! I think the tall lanky ones look just like they're more bred to do the field trials and stuff like that. :)

Anna, the pictures of all 3 of your boys are wonderful!!!! :D

I could oooooh and aaaaaaah all night, but my Labbie girl is fussing and I have to go check on her!! ;)

Great Pics!!!
Looks like PHUN!

Adorable!!! We definitely needed some new pics of your boys! Nebo says he would love to come and play with them! :D

Whilst I LOVE the pics of Emerson and Malone .......... how about some pics of the beautiful Willow !!........?

This picture is wonderful!! I LOVE IT!

Give Malone and Emerson a treat for me!:)

Good pictures! I hope Major turns out like Malone! Looking at the pictures from before, what kind of build do you think he has? Personally, I like the tall labradors better than the short and stocky ones. My friend Katherine has a yellow lab thats actually really white and he is short and stocky. They had a yellow lab that was yellow but she was on the taller side.

Aww, beautiful pics :) I love Emerson, he's so adorable! Malone is also as cute as ever!

Please give both your gorgeous boys a hug from me. :)

Thanks so much, Chris and Everybody! Hugs and treats all around for them, and they send back lots of snuggles and kisses.

We had company tonight, and they were sooo well behaved! I was very pleased with them. Malone even showed off a trick or two! :D
