Sounds like you're on the right track in every way! Definitely get right into basic obedience after Puppy K and shoot for the CGC! It's pretty tough, but Labs are smart! And the socialization you'll get in the classes is so important! You're vet sounds like a wonderful person. Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of Bruno and Dusty I know how difficult it is to lose a beloved furkid; having a vet who really cares and shares in our sadness is a godsend.

Oh, check out www.justlabsmagazine.com It's a great magazine all about Labs. You'll love it! Lots of advice, informative articles and irresisitible pics! Hugs and Labbie butt wiggles to Finn from Sandra and Star (And sister Husky Cody, too!)
