Princess the black lab lived to be 13. She was the happiest dog I've ever met and everyone who met her said the same of her. She would've ran through a hundred yards of fire to be with me and still be wagging her tail and want to lick my face! She was the runt of the pack, I could've picked any of the 9 pups, but she actually picked me. All the other puppies were following their dad around the yard but Princess kept coming over to me and followed me everywhere that day. We had to put her down she was in so much pain that she couldn't even stand in the end. This is my tribute to Princess - I'll never forget her. If there is a dog heaven then she made it for sure!

[@shellcshells2902]

I lost my 13 year old yellow lab a week ago. Most devastating thing I've ever gone through. I miss him so much. Was such an amazing dog and so in tune to me and I to him.

[@traciwhittaker5588]

Shell Cshells sorry. I have a three year old and I dread the day when it comes

[@balancedpoweryinyang8984]

I had a black lab that lived to be 15 years old but sadly had to be put down after he developed cancer. We did treatments and we always said if he was ever in pain we knew we had to let him go and one day he woke up crying in pain and couldn’t move at all. We took him to the vet they did all they could for him but we had to let him go. That was years ago but I still have his collar as a reminder of him and always will!

[@Sagnik_3128]

It's luck

[@aussiecowboah8825]

I'm very sorry that happened, at least you didn't try to hang on you just did what you had to do.

[@aashishkarki6511]

i m so sorry to hear this mate.

[@martinatherton7739]

I’ve had to do this three times and you never recover. You leave a bit of your life on that cold, cold exam table, where the vet injects venom into your lifeblood for how ever many years. It’s painful, regretting, alienating, and life-draining. If grief is the price we pay for love, you shouldn’t get a lab

[@yankeeshane674]

I have an English lab, he’s a bit older (12 years) I got him from the shelter on his 10th birthday. He was a breeding dog and his name is Nancy. He actually looks exactly like the yellow one in this video. He is the sweetest best dog I’ve ever encountered. Always by my side and guarding my bed. When I’m in the kitchen he just lays there, and whenever I go somewhere else outside he never runs off and is glued to me. These dogs are absolutely amazing. I wish everyone would have the pleasure to have one of these amazing dogs in their lives.

[@brooke5395]

My black lab is my best friend. He's 7.5 and Doc says he has a "mass" in his abdomen and might live another week or two. She said this a week before xmas. I rejected that like she was Satan himself saying it. Probably 20 people prayed in ernest for my dog and right now he's hassling my daughter for her leftovers. Took him off grains and give him a chinese herb twice a day and other than his distinguished grey beard, he's like a 2 year old again. He gets picked up by our cops occasionally and they know/love him and can't believe he's an "old guy". Happiest soul I've ever known. Omg I LOVE MY DOG.

[@frazerfastin6854]

Brooke I use a raw diet I see major benefits

[@micahsilvestre9236]

what are you feeding with your lab? sorry pls enlightened me. Thanks.

[@ashantal5172]

How's your doggo?

[@jennastar235]

Oof

[@WildHemii]

Brooke if you don’t mind answering, do you still have him?

[@Meggymiyeko]

My parents got me a chocolate lab for my birthday & he’s been my best friend ever since. He’s now 12 & still going strong even though he’s an old man now. That boy keeps it real in the emotional support department, he just knows, I love him

[@LMWelsh-oh5iu]

p.s. I had my dog in an apartment and I work from home and I walked him 4 30 minute intervals a day and I gave him food puzzles to solve as well as took him to the park - I lost 25 lbs exercising with my lab!!!

[@LMWelsh-oh5iu]

just get out with them. I used to play keep away with my husband as well - he slowed up at 10

[@ShamanicSavant]

You're absolutely right, it depends on the owner. Making some blanket statement like you can't have a lab if you don't have a yard is like any other blanket statement. I had a lab in a one BR apartment but we were within a stone's throw of a park system with trails and lakes. We did walks around the lake, biking, swimming, retrieving work, frisbee, play with other dogs and people, etc. Any good lab won't let you just sit around no matter where you live :)

[@cdog1990able]

Have an 11 year old black lab named Olive who unfortunately is on her way out. She's the best damn dog ever

[@johnburens3395]

I understand... you can still love her after she's gone. On that fateful day I send you my prayers and know you are not alone. Get another lab ASAP, it will help the pain of losing Olive subside. I think you'll find your new pup will quickly find its way into your heart!

[@debs.9612]

Labs are just the best! Such sweet, loyal, and energetic doggies😍🤗!

[@derrellthompson2321]

I rarely comment on YT, but man you have the best dog channel. Very informative. Your videos are produced with so much attention to detail. These videos have really helped to spark my career path in dog training. I knew I loved dogs, animals in general but really dogs. But being introduced to this page has been the best thing to happen to me. Big ups, bro. Keep doing great work.

[@averydukes9599]

As a life long English Lab parent, I just thought the St John's water dog should say hello. The St. John's is the reason we have Labradors and Newfies

[@mollyrich7419]

I love labs! I have a 12 year old chocolate lab now! She’s the best 😍

[@katicasey4610]

I used to have a dog named Rizzo. She died of cancer when she was 7. She was a beautiful black lab. I'd love to get another one some day.

[@Dennis_The_Bourbon_Dad_VA]

Our first family dog was a yellow lad. We named her Duchess of Dale. She was my best friend ever! We bred her three times and we kept one puppy from each litter. She was my best companion and hunting dog. She developed tumor on her leg that blew up and it smelled very bad. The Vet told us that her vitals were bad and we needed to put her down. I refused to let her go. My wife and I told the Vet that we would need to tell the kids and she gave us instruction on how to care for the wound. After telling the kids we waited a week before returning to the Vet’s to put her down. The technician came in and took her vitals then left. When the Vet came in as we said our last goodbyes she was smiling and told us duchess’s vitals had improved but she would have to loose her leg. Our tears turned into smiles and the Vet took her to surgery right away. Her hunting days were over. Duchess was scheduled to stay with the Vet for two days but she wouldn’t let no one near her. They called me and asked if I would come get her. When she saw me she got up running to me ignoring the pain. She lived another 5 years but lost a tremendous amount of weight but was still able to do the things she’s always done like help carry lite groceries into the house, go up and down the stairs and give hugs and kisses. In 2015 we brought the pack to the vets for their yearly checkup and doc told us it was time. It broke our hearts but we had to end her suffering. On September 15, 2015 the whole family said our goodbyes. We had her cremated and she sits on our mantle above our fireplace with a statue of a Labrador hold a retrieved duck in her mouth. As I’m writing this I have tears in my eyes and tears rolling down the side of my face. I miss her so much and everyday her remaining offspring remind me her especially the youngest,Ranger, who looks and acts just like her. Labrador’s are the best dog in the world by far!

[@shellcshells2902]

I understand. My 13 year old yellow lab passed away six days ago. Im beyond devastated and barely functioning. I miss my Kippy so much. He had Mast Cell Carcinoma.... terrible cancer.

[@shalala1949]

[@tomazapat8749]

[@crest4sensation938]

Very informative! Thanks Zeke! The breeder not only is knowledgeable, she truly loves Labs!

I had a labrador back then she was 3 months old, and I learned that whatever I do my dog loves long walks and play outside she doesnt care if its hot or what she just loves to be outside

[@stephenord3403]

My new lab Coco is killing me and I fxxxxxg love her

I liked the shotout to the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, I grew up with them but I don't see them around as much anymore.

[@Rivij]

I like this lady, she seems passionate.

[@dmarksvr]

So grateful my 2 Labs (Daisy an Vicky) that I grew up with both lived to be over 15. Best wishes to you all and your dogs.

Wonderful lady. Absolutely elite asmr from her voice as well.

[@yeahbee8237]

they are just the greatest

[@duckhunt1058]

All of the Labs I have had never made it past 12 years old. All wonderful dogs and those years are very memorable. My last one Rikki-Bobby was 12 when it was his time. It's only been a month and it's been very difficult without him. He was my hunting partner and Jeep ride partner for many years. I will be getting another Lab when it's time or one comes along that I have to go and see. They are the most wonderful dogs on earth.

[@erickar2634]

Damn I see it’s common for labs to pass at 12-13 years😢 that’s a short time I was thinking of getting a lab also I haven’t had another dog since my last dog that passed away 8 years ago. I been dying to get another dog I own a 14 year old cat that I’ve had for 7 years I love her but cats are just different and I grew up with dogs as a kid. I want to do outdoor activities that you just can’t do with a cat. Like hiking,beach,lake,parks road trips. I want road dog I can take with me everywhere explore.

[@allisonelkins1662]

My chocolate lab is about to turn 13, I grew up with her and I have a feeling it's really going to suck when she's gone. Labs are amazing dogs, I get excited every time one comes into the store I work at. Very loyal breed, love em so much

[@jupiterkid100]

I love your videos!

[@deannak8877]

First, I love the videos. Thank you so much. Second, I don’t think her ideas are old school. I think the average people never bothered to learn about all the stuff she’s talking about. She is absolutely correct for this breed. So I guess I would say there’s no school like the old school.

[@CharanjeetSingh-nl7wk]

I love Labrador, they look just amazing and cute 😘😘😘😘😘

[@c6blackvette17]

I just rescued a pure bred yellow lab. I’ve been learning a lot about the breed recently and I believe she is an American Lab because she’s a little learner and her nose is slightly longer so I doubt she would win any show. I can’t get over these “breed standards” and how crazy some people can be. These show dogs look overweight and unhealthy.

[@msalaheldeen]

Very nice and worth waiting for :)

[@tiannadogs]

I love Labs! I just wish that the show ring judges would favor a healthier weight on these guys.

[@illustryfe5354]

They look heavy because they're relatively thick-furred and have kind of a natural barrel body.

[@Amanda-md6rf]

@@illustryfe5354 While that is true many of the conformation Labs who do show do in fact have a natural more barrel shaped body they still are overweight. I know many show line Labs who are extremely fit and while they still have the typical barrel chest and body they still have a noticeable tuck, muscle without excess weight and ribs can be slightly seen (not to much to be underweight but enough to show they're VERY active). It's extremely important to remember just because they have a certain body type it doesn't excuse the excess weight factor and it needs to stop being normalized not just in this breed but many others as well.

[@McNamEvan]

@@illustryfe5354 working field labs dont look like these guys. The fat body and short legs are unfortunately favored in show dogs. 7:21 is a better example of a working dog yet still too stout.

[@jenrosekrueger7087]

mcnameva They have now what is called the English lab and the American field trial lab. Actually the Americans been around for a while. If you look it up you’ll see there is a difference the American is taller and leant. It’s really meant to work the field not so much water. They typically have more energy and a little more excitable and than the English lab. They do well in the water. I definitely like the look of the American lot better. Maybe that’s what I’m used to seeing. It is too bad they don’t mention the difference. I don’t know maybe they’re not actually an AKC.

[@jenrosekrueger7087]

I find it funny she says the need a yard but yet many of the working labs for taking care of people guide dogs etc. I believe live in small areas.

[@joebyrne5860]

We had a Chocolate Lab, male, and we were joined at the hip for 15 years! Diesel Train was his name! Smart! Understood every word I spoke and knew hand signals like a pro! I never had to say a word to ask or command what I wanted from him. We miss his love, so another lab is coming here in September. A little black male puppy, a challenge to teach and learn for me and the puppy! His name… Archie!

[@danmel3978]

I had a chocolate lab/golden retriever mix. He was the smartest, most athletic and well behaved dog i have ever seen. He only lived to 12 years old but i made his life completely fulfilled. He was amazing to watch catching his frisbee a freak athlete.

I love labby's🐶🐶🐶

[@jonathanrobertson3406]

My experience is anecdotal, and technically my dog Sidney is not a pure breed, but she is the sweetest most well natured dog I have ever had. The thing about labs, is that they love food, so you have to be careful about not "loving" them by over feeding them. Also, if Sid is any example, while active in youth, they love to sleep more and more as they get older. Which is fine. Just be prepared for that.

[@olgasa6943]

[@turduckenwrath6110]

great dogumentary i have a lab- very sweet dog- also the dumbest dog I own. Seriously, he seems well behaved but I think it's just cuz he's so chill- he has been so hard to train and stubborn I also have an APBT, Doberman, & Poodle- no problem training any of them but the lab- that dog just wants cuddles and sleep Oh and the shedding- be prepared! If you get a lab your house will be covered in copious amounts of hair all year round- it never ends- hair everywhere. She mentioned the double coat, but that really doesn't encompass the amount of hair that you're going to encounter. But- very sweet and mellow dog. Just dumb ;)

[@abbyhouse1192]

not every lab! I totally agree with you though some are super dumb lol my dads lab is annoyingly dumb and made me never want to get a lab but I did because a trainer who I work with found a really nice lab for me because I told her I was looking for a dog I could train to be my service dog and so I got the lab and she is literally one of the smartest dogs i’ve ever met she does hunting work, dockdiving, and now she’s a service dog in training and in doing excellent!

[@Metadosis1]

It was nice to see your passion for your dogs. Though I don’t think not exercising or not letting your puppy run or jump is the right thing to do , My yellow lab has been hiking and running with me in the mountains since he was 4 months old and he still runs 10 kms with me and does not show any signs of any damage. Is this a myth or have I damaged his ligaments.
