Jake has gone to a new home!

That's very strange that a Lab had such a high prey drive. Labs are usually very good with all animals and people.

Good luck to Jake and I'm sorry you had to make that decision.

I was so distraught having to make that decision, but hubby helped me through it. Yes Jake was a Black lab, he was just 5 months old. I have never met a Lab myself, with such a high prey drive either! I didnt get it! I would have thought My bloodhound would have a higher prey drive than the lab! Duke lets the bunny and the chickens walk up to him and he just lays there and wags his tail!! My chickens seem to realize that Jake is gone, they are happier and are not so skittish anymore! Duke seemed depressed the first couple of days after Jake was gone, but we gave him tons of extra attention, and he seems back to his normal self!

I'm sorry you had to get rid of him, but why did his old owners get rid of him in the first place? I think you did the right thing, though. Wondering about the old owners though...

You did what was best for you and him. You should be very proud of making this decision because it was the best choice for you and for the sake of your little critters.((hugs))
RIP little chicken.

I got Jake because his mom had 8 puppies, and obviously they couldnt keep all of them. They ended up placing all of the puppies, so when I called to tell them I was looking to place Jake in a new home, they jumped at the chance to take him. They had inteneded to keep one of the puppies from the litter, but had more people than they expected to take them so they ended up placing them all. So Jake is back home with his mom and is doing very well. They have no small animals and have a very nice back yard for him and him mom to play in, Plus he gets to go visit his owners, fathers farm, to see cows! They are gonna take that one slow, to make sure he dosent try anything crazy with a 1200lb cow!! but if he gets along with the cows okay he will have over a hundred acres to play on!! he should be fine with the cows, he never bothered my horses!
