Labs are God’s gift to undeserving humans! I have had four over my 76 years. They all lived to a ripe old age. I don’t think I ever met four people I could honestly say we’re better than those dogs. My current Lab is continuing that tradition.

I’ve had three labs in my 61 years and I’m spinal cord injured of 46 years post injury. My last lab who just passed away last week Rufus train service dog, best friend, and soulmate. He’s so dearly missed. I’m looking for another male lab to take his place.

our 13 yr old yellow lab passed a month ago. Absolutely the best lab i've had. It's going to be a long time to get over him. Allot of people don't understand why I would be that broke up over just a dog. He wasn't even a dog. He was friend and a companion. I know he's with my mom up above at his own lake, with unlimited things to retrieve. God bless our 4 legged family members.

Miles Newton Exactly my Chesapeake has to have one on every time we go out hunting or training. Because if she goes out like 50+ yards for a retrieve, and does something like drop the training dummy for example. By the time I get there she won’t know what she did wrong. A e collar allows to correct on the spot.

Awesome video! The group I train with and hunt with uses labs for upland hunting as well. My pup (only 8 months old now) held a point on a chukar for over 10 seconds on his very first bird exposure. He seems to have a natural knack for ducks, maybe even more so than pheasant, quail or chukar, but like you mentioned in your video, I love every second with him out in the field, whether its training or hunting.

I have loved the 2 Labs I’ve had ,but I’m a water spaniel guy , but take them down to the lake and the difference is pretty amazing, the labs loved routine,yard work then retrieving,the 2 curly knot heads would do the yard work and about 10 minutes of retrieving work and get bored,if it didn’t have gun fire ,and feathers they weren’t interested , and the labs would retrieve until they damn drowned. But all 4 of these dog were like an extension of my arm ,I miss them
