We got our lab pup a couple of weeks ago now and he has been the easiest puppy I have ever known, very placid (although to start with this was because numpty breeder overfed him and he was clinically obese! - now lost loads of weight and much livelier).

Tonight he decided to go to bed early in the kitchen and just seems beyond his age totally!! Are some pups like this or should we wait tentatively until he is a teenager???!!

He is totally clean, sleeps through the night, clean, never messes in the house this was within days....

I keep waiting for something to either be wrong with him or him to turn into a puppy monster!!!

?? could it be that we have a laid back soul?

Guarding daughters room! when she went to bed tonight....

I know they sleep a lot but even when he is awake he is happy to play with his toys alone for a bit before wanting attention.
 
I think you may find he is just a laid back boy lab - terrible toddlers might set in tho so enjoy it while it lasts. LOVE the third piccie of him btw!
 
I hope indeed you have been, my sisters 8 week old chocolate lab pee'd all over my nephew's floor mat driving game. Made him cry and no amount of, 'look she's only piddled on the trees' worked!

Yours does look much heavier than hers though, I assume you've had him vet checked?

He's still incredibly cute of course...
 
Yep, wasnt KC breeder some local idiot, we kind of got him out of feeling sorry for him!! Believe me these pictures are the slim version!!! - he was so fat he coudnt breathe properly, he was hot, uncomfortable and receiving far too much food from his "breeder". He went to vet day we got him home, on different diet etc, and now playing lots more!! Vet said we caught him just in time....this was him 2 weeks ago..........

Sister has his brother, choccy also, who compared to our thug looks like a whippet!!
 
Oh my word he was fat wasnt he - some people make me sick doing that to a dog, dogs are running animals not podgy things...glad he is in good hands, I think he sounds glad to be away from such a hell hole.
 
Our JRT puppy was like that. Never cried atnight, house trained within a couple of weeks, even at 8 months hasn't chewed anything too bad (yet)!
Its lovely when they're good isn't it!!

Oh my - I wish our JRTs are like that. They are not bad but they don't know how to ask to go out so poo or wee on the floor if we don't take them out regularly enough.

Today we left them in the car at the stables and they ate the end of the windscreen wiper stick on the shogun!!!
 
Three words Nuala....

'Crate' and 'cat basket'!!!!

One for the house, and the large plastic cat basket for the car. She always gets a treat when she goes in, and keeps her safe out of harms way.

If we didn't have a crate, she would be out the cat flap and away in a jiffy I'm sure, and OH's car is sooo messy I'm sure she would shred some mega important document if she was left to roam about.

My SiL's friend has a JRT the same age as P (also called P coincidentally) and it isn't 100% housetrained yet either, so don't worry about your two yet.

he's lovely he's fat but he'll work it off better when he starts going out walks. I've got a 17 week old german shepherd and she is so huge, not fat but really well grown. she a very good puppy too, toilet trained in less than a week and no chewing or anything.
