Thanks for posting all of the cute doggies! : D I'm sending them to her now. She just told me, her husband would prefer a male... he's the only man in the house, I guess he feels outnumbered. hehe

The house-training isn't a must, but it would be ideal.

Cindy... they actually just went to see the first Lab you posted, yesterday! Apparently, there's a huge parvo outbreak at that shelter, as of yesterday. Those poor pups. They don't even know if the Labby boy has it, or if he's still alive, or what.

Sophie... I forgot about Lake County shelter! I have heard of how high-kill they are. I'll tell her to check out the site.
