Good deal!

 

Whatever she's looking at, it definitely has her attention!

 

If a Weim is anything like a Basset Hound, it's something edible!

 

great hunting dog that is. my uncle had a couple of them. they used to put most bird dog breeds to shame

 

Labs too. I just got back from the vet. Dog weighs 110#!

I knew he was bulking up and we were gonna have to cut back on the chow. But I was thinking about 80#. Doc says he needs to be 95-100, but no more than 100#.

He is NOT going to like this.

 

I think we have decided on getting a choclate lab. My 13 year old daughter is going nuts for one. Lets how nuts she is about cleaning up after it.

 

Pretty hard to go wrong with the temperament of a Lab. Family dogs.

I had a female Basset once that weighed 95 lbs.

Of the current crop, one female weighs 85 lbs. the other females/males are 60-80 lbs.

Basset Hounds are large dogs on short legs, and have the largest bone mass of any dog.

Only problem is, they cannot get into even so much as a low slung sedan without a boost up...another reason why my back is bad.

 

You guy's know anyone that may have Chocolate lab pups. I was thinking to surprise my daughter soon.

 

Serg, I don't know anyone with pups right now. But some suggestions:

Call a Lab Rescue group. They sometimes have pups, but not often and they go fast. This is a better option if you were willing to consider a pup 9 months or older. It's worth some phone calls regardless, and maybe they would put you on a waiting list.

Personally, I've had very good luck with my last 3 dogs by buying from family breeders. But you have to be careful. I only bought from families where I could go and see both parents, and the household where they lived. That way I could judge the temperment of the parents, as well as evaluate the family environment. I just watched the Pennysaver for litters available, and then tried to keep my excitement in check, because they are all sooooo cute!

In case you don't know, Black, Yellow, Chocolate, and White Labs can all be in the same litter. It is only a color difference. Black is the most common, and least expensive, followed by the other colors in the order above. Other than your personal preference, color means nothing.

But some breeders will try to inter-breed Chocolates to maximize Chocolate puppies, and the health of the dogs and the entire species is harmed by that practice. So if you see a litter of all Chocolates, ask a lot of questions. It might just be luck, or it might be bad breeding practices.

Have fun.

Great morning football fans.

Thanks for the info Bill. I had no idea they would such a thing just get chocolate pups.
I am going to have a talk with the family and see if a rescue is something to consider. I for one don't mind as long as the temperament is ok. But thanks for the tips.

 

My dogs aren't in SoCal anymore but they were born and raised there.
This is Smokey-we just call him "Boy" I found him near Barstow,someone dumped him there when he was about 3 months old

 

And this is Bonnie
