Labs make lousy outdoor dogs. Labs as a breed are highly social and all dogs are pack animals meaning they crave companionship. They do love being outside but they love being outside with their people.
Labs left outside alone find ways to entertain themselves - these include barking, digging, chewing on anything they can get their teeth on, and escape. While a high energy breed, they make excellent indoor companions. But they do require daily exercise of 2-3 miles, multiple short walks or trips outside to potty, and most live to play fetch and will enjoy an hour or so of that daily.
What else can I help you with?
Are black labs aggressive?
Absolutely not. Labradors by their very nature are gentle, loving and loyal pets. They'd much rather play than be aggressive. If you have one that's aggressive (and I really hate to say this), chances are it was made that way. As a side note, although most labs are NOT aggressive with people, labs can be aggressive with other animals. In fact, it is worth noting that labs are more dominant and independent than many dogs. Any dog can be aggressive and that's why you need to establish yourself as the boss. If you research black lab aggression, you will find many cases (specifically, involving other dogs).
What temperature can black labs swim in?
Black labs can typically swim in a wide range of temperatures, but they are most comfortable in water that is between 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit. It's important to keep an eye on them to ensure they are not in water that is too cold or too warm, as this can be harmful to their health.
Is it possible for two yellow labs to have black puppies?
Yes. uhhh...no my friend.... 2 yellows will only have yellows and/or dudleys if the parents are chocolate factored.... why? because the parents are both yellow labs, they carry the ee alleles, therefore, they both can only pass on "e" to their offspring making all the offspring "ee" (yellow labs)....in order to be a black lab, they have to have at least 1 "B" and one "E" which the yellow labs do not have, so you'd have to bred a yellow with a chocolate or black lab to be able to get some black pups....hope this helps
