How do you teach your lab to get along with other dogs?

Asked by Rstarfreak

You have to train it.

Pick the dog you want to be dominant. Tie or pen the non-dominant chosen dog and feed both dogs with one penned and one free. Takes a few times, but the free dog establishes dominance.

If one of the labs and/or golden retrievers had a parent who was a black dog... That might explain it! Sometimes (even with dogs) the "family gene" skips a generation!

What does a yellow lab and choco lab cross look like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you breed a Yellow Labrador and a Chocolate Labrador they will produce solid chocolate puppies and solid Yellow puppies and Black puppies with the exception of a few white markings.

No matter what color labs you breed they will always be pure unless you have a mixed breed or a completely different breed as the mother or father. Then it's up to the traits of that other breed.

What dog breeds are similar to Labradors?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Perhaps the breed that most resembles the Labrador Retriever is the Golden Retriever, both sharing a similar appearance and personality. However, these two breeds are actually distant descendants. The Labrador Retriever is bred down from the now-extinct Lesser St. John's Dog, while the Golden Retriever is the result of a cross of the Flat-coated Retriever and the now-extinct Tweed Water Spaniel, mixed with other breeds in its ancestry such as the Irish Setter and the Bloodhound.

Some other breeds that look like the Labrador Retriever are the Flat-coated Retriever, Curly-coated Retriever and Chesapeake Bay Retriever. However, the Lab's closest relative is the Newfoundland. Although now having a very different size, they both probably descended from St. John's Dog.

What is the size of the labrador?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A lot, especially if they are young. I think that people see the grown dogs and think how sweet and docile they are but as pups they are hyper and mischevious and will get into anything and everything so they need plenty of exercise and constant stimulation, if they get bored they get destructive. They are very intelligent dogs which is why they are trained as companions and special needs dogs but it's that intelligence which can get them into trouble as pups.

Scientific name for black lab - golden retriever mix?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

All dogs belong to the genus, species, and subspecies "Canis lupus familiaris." In other words, dogs are a subspecies of wolf ("Canis lupus"). Scientifically or in terms of taxonomy, breeds of dogs are not separate subspecies at all since all breeds have the potential of producing offspring with any other breed (and with wolves, actually). Thus, there is no formal scientific nomenclature for any breed, such as Labrador retriever.

In part, this is because breeds are not only genetic but also (human) cultural.

In the United States, purebred Labrador retrievers can come in three colors called black, chocolate, and yellow. (There is no such thing as a "silver" or "golden" Labrador.) Labradors are classified as Sporting Dogs by the AKC (called Gundogs in the U.K.). They originated in the 1700s in what is now Newfoundland from a breed that is now exctinct called the St. Johns Dog or Water Dog. Labradors are closely related to Newfoundlands (Newfies).

Should you get a boy or a girl labrador retriever puppy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on a few things! # Is the pointer you have at the moment neutered? If you get a male puppy you should consider having one or both of them neutered to prevent any possible competition/rivalry between them. Although neither of these breeds are aggressive, there are often serious fights over territory and possessions between two unneutered males. But if one dog is neutered then the other will become the alpha dog and you won't have this rivlary between them! # If you were to get a female you may also need to consider neutering one or both of your pets! You may end up with accidental puppies! If you want cross bred puppies then this could be an option. If not though, you would need to be very aware of when you're female is on heat and keep your pets apart at this time.
