We have a one year old Yellow Lab Mix, and though I may be a bit prejudiced he is the most wonderful dog. He is very alert, and tells me if anybody comes in the driveway, or if anything's not quite right. Though he has his nawtee moments, he's playful and yet gentle. He gets along very well with our cat and our bunny, and is already starting to settle down. Malone is fairly easy to train (a bit stubborn at times) but he tries very hard to please us.

I think with ANY breed you are going to have those that haven't been trained properly, and from there you have behavioural problems. I would definitely NOT call the lab breed territorial or aggressive. Sure you have some individuals that display non-characteristic behaviour but you will find this ANYWHERE. Your thinking is like saying that all pitbulls are "fighters" or "bad". When you truly educate yourself, you will find that that is just not true.

Please don't judge a breed when you don't know what you are talking about.
