Well, I have been researching all dogs my whole life, but if you want a number of days for a Lab, maybe, 20? I don't really know, but I do know alot about them, even if you guys don't think I do
I know they get fat easily(as you stated) and I know they crave attention, I know they can be hunting, pets, show and stuff. I know they can be anywhere from 50-100 punds. I know they need lots of excercise and all that as well. I know they are prone to hip displasia.
In case you missed it, the dog isn't from a breeder. The puppies were abandoned at a person's house. They are going to the SPCA if nobody takes them (and the chances look good for going the the SPCA) So getting one from their is like getting one from the SPCA, saving a life. And that's what I originally planned to do.
I know you all think the dog wouldn't get enough attention, but believe me, it will for the first few weeks. (from everyone) and then after that it will be summer so I can be with it all the time. And it wouldn't be home alone outside in the fall, my dad would be taking it to the farm.
I don't know how many times I wrote this but the Lab won't be outside all the time!
I hope that clears it up, and even if you still don't think I am ready for a Lab, can we not hold grudges?
