I have two lab mixes, Jenny and Rocky. they are the best dogs ever!

what do I think of the breed : I think they are a great breed and I am definitely a lab person. they are so gentle and make great family dogs IMO. they are very loyal. l

how high is their energy level? like .sarah said HIGH, but I think it gets better when they are older..but you do have to ware them out. Jenny is 8 now and Rocky is almost 10. let me tell you they were hyper puppies.

Do they run away? no, Rocky is good off-leash..well Jenny not so much. She gets out once in a blue moon.

how much to they shed? not a lot, well of course they shed, but Jenny sheds more than Rocky. I would say average.

and .sarah posted great sites!
