Look at what I am getting

[Goldenstar]

This is Dram as a puppy with his mentors Killi and Pearl the first .
Now it’s his turn .

 

[splashgirl45]

your posts are making me smile, i have just been on the meghan and harry thread and needed something to cheer me up

 

[Pearlsasinger]

She is an unusual colour there’s almost a silver sheen to her in certain lights she cast out her puppy coat now so I don’t think she will change much .
Shes an extremely feminine looking Lab so pretty with a delicate face .
Dram had to go to vets naughty Pearls needle teeth pierced the skin on his neck and set off an infection in the skin .
Poor Dram is clipped and on a painkiller and antibiotics

Poor Dram!

Our so-called fox red pup, who I would call butterscotch, has got darker (although not more red) with every coat change, although I don't think any of the pale yellows did, except perhaps on their ears.

 

[Goldenstar]

Pearls ears are still very large .
She’s such a pretty thing when she tilts her head she has the look of those paintings of Victoria children with ringlets at the side of their heads .

Tawny, who is also 'butterscotch' gets very dark at moulting time. Ffee is a similar colour to Pearl, she was also from a fox red litter.

I used to have a pale yellow whose ears were the same colour as the rest of her but I have also had one that was pale yellow with darker ears, her sister was just a bit darker with ears the same as the rest of her coat.

I'll post a pic of mine tomorrow, but phone is sleeping at the moment.

I think bigger ears on labs are how they are now, Brandy who is nearly 13 has tiny ears (ish) then Tawny, 7, has normal ones, Pen and Ffee completely unrelated both have quite long ones.

Only a dog person could say that..lol..I also love your pups progress and especially the welcome Dram has given her.
My poodle boy was also a gentleman with my elderly poodle girl in her last delicate months and a squire with the new schnauzer pup who replaced her....Dogs like this are a Rare jewel and make our lives so much easier/ happier with a new arrival.Well done Dram.

It's huge, sorry, but there are my two shades of yellow. T always looks darker indoors and at this time of year.

I think it is the luck of the draw tbh, sister had a pair of black litter sisters one had tiny ears, which folded up and the other had enormous, long, thick ears. They would have been born over 30 years ago.

Slightly different because she is a bitch but our Rottweiler has 'adopted' the Lab pups, she keeps them babyish tbh, frequently cleans them, ensures they are behind her if anyone comes to the gate and spends most of her time, sitting with them. She loves to watch them play and tries to join in but doesn't really understand Labrador games. She has tried to teach them to play 'tug' but of course they lose interest because she is so much stronger than they are. Their interactions are fascinating to watch.

Watching dogs nurture each other is lovely .
Drams a very gentle loving dog he loves everyone he’s been fantastic with Pearl when she wakes in the morning in her crate she will wimper he gets off the bed and sits by the crate after a little while he comes and nudges me to say please can we get up .
I let her out and she jumps up and down and on spot and then off they go to front door .
They go out come back in then we have a group cuddle .
It’s lovely .

the labs on this thread all look in fabulous condition, well covered but not fat, its so refreshing to see as some of the labs i see locally are fat and waddle and they are dont have the excuse that they are old, its such a shame and the owners are the ones who want to give treats to my dogs and cant understand why i say they cant..

 

[Goldenstar]

Sadly for the Labrador they are the Shetland of the world .

 

[MrsMozart]

Such lovely pictures of beautiful dogs.

Sister and I had been saying had our parents' 2 yellow bitches were fat but were not listened to until Mum went to the bank, arranged to meet Dad and the dogs nearby and noticed 2 fat yellow Labradors walking towards her - then she realised that they were hers! Sharing the breakfast toast etc stopped then!

When we were growing up, we would have got into trouble for feeding the dogs by hand but after we left home, the rot set in (they had fewer dogs by then)

A Labrador owner once explained to me that labradors are a life support system for a stomach ?

 

[Goldenstar]

Here she is monitoring Sky’s training this morning

 

[ycbm]

So grown up!

 

[Goldenstar]

And here they are yesterday during a longer cold session clearing the garden at my parents house

 

[splashgirl45]

she has really grown, she is such a beautiful colour

 

[ycbm]

She is really beautiful, GS and she looks so wise and gentle.

The sharing a chair thing is becoming difficult

 

[Goldenstar]

Why do some arrive upside down ???

 

[SAujla]

She is beautiful, looks like a really special bond as well between the two dogs as well

Maybe they are from Australian lines?

 

[Goldenstar]

That might be it
I posted it exactly like I always do and it came upside down .
