Anyone got leads on smaller labs? I’d love for my next lab to be under 60lbs.
Roxy, my first dog, recently passed. She was the best girl. 12 great years. Hundreds upon hundreds of retrieves - ducks, geese, grouse, pheasants, quail, Huns, and dove. Best retrieve she ever made was on a beautiful drake wigeon that she watched sail close to a 1/2 mile. Trudging through feet of snow she was gone for probably 15 minutes but went on a line to it and straight back right to me.
Funniest retrieve - when she was still very young, i shot a pair of mallards and they fell in a line. she picked up the first and without slowing down flung it over her head back towards me and ran and got the second bird. It was like she was trying to throw it to me in her excitement.
She once stood between me and a charging grizzly, wagging her tail at her new friend making all this ruckus running towards us. It stopped at 20 yards and barked, she barked back and it ran off. Never stopped wagging her tail.
The nicest grumpy old dog. She had a very fun and full life and I think I’m ready for the next one. She’ll have big shoes to fill.
