[QUOTE=Joekerr;24646596]They are great family dogs, extremely loyal to the family and no one else. I've had two at different times growing up, always liked them. Extremely smart too.
That being said, my lab is equally smart as the Shepherds I had. I think that's somewhat rare for Labs though.[/QUOTE
They sure are great family dogs; got mine as a gift from a family friend with a litter-omg, this dog was a tremendous athlete and went everywhere with me including the pond to pay hockey. He would carry logs in his mouth 6 inches in diameter for me to throw-105 pounds yet very docile and friendly around the clan. There was no leash law growing up-would try to catch snow while shoveling-greatest dog ever next to the one I have now.
