If you are a single guy, a Lab will be better than any lady you will ever meet! They are loyal, playful, kind, and couldn't care less about how you dress, money, status, or anything. Just feed them and give some attention.
i do little an my labs are happy and there 5 month old pups they love the rope toy i hold it and they try to take it. i throw a ball down the hallway they get it and i do it again maybe 20times and thats enough to tucker them out. i just crate train them for night time im not going to do what i did last time wake up to messes or biting thing like wires so its for there safety. i only had them a month and the are making great progress for rescue pups. i like to off leash train them and have the one sister overcome lud sounds outside i had chokers but she panic's over a trash bin or car door slam, ambulance that she will hurt herself so i got a leash that pull there heads down killing all there pull power its night and day difference and it not near there airway. i just had to try new things see what works and doesnt and they are learning.
I have a black lab I love her. She is my BFF! Best dog ever. WOW, thanks for all the likes

True I love them❤
Amen! My black lab is my baby and bff!!!

Yep
I have a black lab and couldn't imagine life without him. My Lab absolutely brings so much joy to my life. I'm over 50 years old now and he is the best dog I ever had. He is Very Smart and always stays with you no matter where you're at. He loves going for walks with me so he can run around down by the ponds in my area. I consider him a family member & would do anything for him &
Love My Black Lab!
Same here .my grandkids adore miss sierra the boys Are 9 and granddaughter is 11 she watches their every move and is best protection they could have she licks them to death ha ha🇺🇲🇺🇲🪖
I turned 50 last year, have five adult children and one grandchild. I’ve had dogs my whole adult life in various sizes such as German Shepherd, Malinois, West Highland White Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Shih Tzu and Chihuahua. Our Chihuahua was by far the most challenging one next to our children 😂. Our little black lab is now 6 weeks old and is coming home to us in just 2 weeks ❤️. It will be our first Labrador but I think we can handle her 😉.

My black lab died🫤
@@flashpoint7557 very sorry to hear that. The Lifespan for dogs is way to short.
My female black lab was the easiest to house train of any dog I ever had. Smart, emotionally intelligent, gentle around smaller dogs and children, friendly to strangers, so so so loving. Luna❤❤❤❤
Astrid, our 7 month old black lab is the kindest and most intelligent and sympathetic dog we ever had.
I took mine everywhere. With NO lead. People always wanted to know if they could take her home with them.
My black lab is named Lola, she is amazing
the best dog in the world
I have an English black lab and he and I are best buds. He’s a muscular little guy. Like a black bear.
Our black lab was the best dog we ever had!
ik same with mine
Yeah!
I agree!
What do you mean “was” what happened to it?
So true
My black lab was a member of the family, let me hug her around the neck when my Daddy died, took my pain upon herself and brought me her exclusive special toy to my lap to make me feel better. She was the love of my life.
Mine was too. Amazing God blessed creatures.
I had a Black Lab for 14 years. She was my baby. Best dog I've ever owned.😢 I miss her so much!
My black lab, Baloo, lived till he was 13 and he was literally my best friend from the age of 10 to 23. I miss him every day. Literally the sweetest, gentlest, and funniest boi you've ever met. You are wrong, my friend.
We just lost ours at almost 12 years. We did everything recommended in the video and he only had old age arthritis, and he was coping well and still full of energy, but then he deteriorated suddenly and was diagnosed with haemangiosarcoma of the spleen and we had go let him go within 3 days. Black labs are truly amazing dogs and we were so lucky to have him in our family.
Feel your pain Lab lover lost my black Lab 12 20 23 after 14 years he was 95 lbs me and my wife broken a sad Christmas for us
and my whole family missing my boy RIP Gator
I have a black Lab! When I got him he had been mistreated. They cut his paw pads so he couldn't run. When he healed enough he run anyway. A friend brought him to me. He looked like he hadn't had food often. He was about 3 months. I've had him sence about 3 years. He's well feed and treated like he's loved and he is. He's a good dog. I'm glad I have him.
Awesome! Great dogs!
That is awful! Who on gods earth would mistreat an animal like that! So glad he found a good home with you❤️
Did the paw pads heal all the way? What a sad, disgusting story! How people can be cruel to animals is beyond me. I am glad to hear he found a loving home. God Bless you and your Black Lab….🙏🏼♥️👋🏼🇨🇦 I have a Chocolate and Black one myself….Daisy and Shelby(12 and 18months)🥰
Same here! But mine is a girl and I got her a couple days ago
Oh my god, that’s one of the most despicable acts of cruelty I’ve ever heard.
I miss my buddy, Loki, so much. I cried watching this video. Loki was everything that you pointed out. We were partners for 15 years. During his lifespan we covered over 15,000 miles; strolling in the neighborhood, hiking in the woods or walking on the C&O Canal path. Everybody loved Loki. He had a fanbase wherever we went. Such a beautiful, fun-loving soul. I am going to eventually spread his ashes along his favorite walking paths. For now his urn is on the mantle so I can wish him good morning and goodnight every day.
I had to put my black lab down last year at 13. We got him from the City Pound when he was 11 months old. When we got him, he was underweight at 67 pounds. Within a year he was more than 105 pounds and all muscle. He weighed 100 pounds between 2 and 6 ( we got his weight down to 90 after that ). He was such a dear and sweet companion. I found myself just talking to him and he looked like he understood me. I smile when I think about him.
@@sevenstarsofthedipper1047 So sorry for your loss. I still talk to Loki every day, sitting on the mantle. Loki was also a big guy. (95 lbs. of lean muscle.) We kept each other in shape with our daily treks. Gosh, I miss him so much.
@@fletchersmith7751 Sorry about yours.
Just put my baby girl down at 14 horrible thing to go through but so happy she lived a full life and had fun the whole time
It's so hard to let go. I lost mine a week ago. I found her in the morning, she had passed in her sleep at 13. Absolute joy of a dog.
I had a black lab, his name was Bob. He died in the lock down. He was very gentle and lazy but he'd walk miles! I miss Bob. He was a good boy
Our black lab is one of the sweetest dogs I came across in my 40 years of owning dogs...we love him to the moon!
love my sweet little weasel too!
why target the black ones? thats like saying the yellow and the chocolate ones are more superior. the colour doesnt change the breed!
The black ones are more common and more sought after than the others
It's ridiculous to say that. The breed -- actually all "retriever" breeds come with these issues. They were bred to be active, comfortable with humans, and part of a social group. That's why they need exercise and companionship. The shedding results from the double coat, which all labs have.
@@tylarroy2395 It still applies to all Labs. Anyone seeking a lab should watch this video. So it is silly to focus only on black labs.
@@tonysmith9930 I'm not the one who did it, I was just saying why they did it
I mean the colour definitely matters but not always. Black and some golden are a lot more energetic, seeing as they are more working line gun dogs. Chocolate labs and some golden are more show line dog, heavier and more relaxed dogs.
We found a beautiful 3 month old black lab, who had been abandoned in the park when temp were near freezing. My husband said he could not leave him in the cold, so we brought him home. So sweet and had been mistreated. He is a sweetie, but has separation anxiety.
for me, black labs have no cons!
This was 7 reasons to get a black lab for me 😍😍😍
Awesome!!
Labradors are heaven sent to make life better. They are eternal toddlers that melt your heart on a daily basis with only a requirement of food and love. They are the best workers, beggars, foot warmers, and arm rests. Train them early and consistently and integrate them as family. I have been fortunate to have had female black labs that spanned decades of companionship and I hope to see them again one day when everything is all said and done in this life. There are differences between male and female in behavior and labs are basically 30 years old at the end of their first birthday, not 7. Fortunately, they are one of the easiest and cutest to train up. When it comes to labs, they don’t do things wrong. It’s always going to be because you aren’t doing something right and you need to figure it out and communicate that to them more clearly. Remember, they’re heaven sent to love you! Best Regards.
My Otis is the best dog we’ve ever had! He’s smart and lovable. He’s about 120lbs and stays in the water. Great with my cat, and loves walks.
I've had 3 black labs. ALL three were like family. The first lived to be 15. Then we rescued another and within months got a companion lab. They became inseparably pair bonded. We just had to put down our oldest due to larangeal paralysis which is common in labs and horses. I'm still going to be looking for another or two or three when the time is right. Wonderful dogs!!!
We have a black lab named Capone. He is sweet, loyal, protective and loves showing affection. Hes an old dog. And so smart....but he has seizures...and his hips have been bothering him a lot. But hes such a good boy!
He is a gangster
As I'm laying here in bed next to my 13-year-old black lab who has been my soulmate since he was eight weeks old, all I hear is blah blah blah, and I'm enjoying the pretty pictures!
Absolute best dog I ever had. Took a huge piece of me with him when he passed.
I know this feeling.
My earliest memory. We were at the animal shelter, we wanted a black lab. I couldnt have been older than 3 at this point. First, we are brought a nice gentle lab, already trained, the perfect family pet. Then, my father asks to see the other one ‘Dustin’. The vet had a look of fear on her face. “Dustin? Are you sure?” My father insisted. She went to get him. Suddenly, a dog, who was covered in his own shit bursts through the door, sees me, and pounces. I start screaming. Dustin is quickly taken away. Later, my father says to my mom “I think I wanna get Dustin”. We had him for about 10 years before he passed, and it was one of the best decisions my father ever made.
Mine lived to be 17, sweetest dogs ever
Great story !!!
I have a male black labrador who is 14 months old, he is very energetic, playful and attention seeker. He hates being ignored, and very naughty. He is the youngest son of our family.
Start penny boarding on leash, trust me
I put my 12 year old black lab (Voldemort) down three weeks ago and have done my share of crying since then. In my over half century on this planet I've always had a dog in the family and he was the best: friendly, loyal, just a great companion all around and boy was he smart. If the back door was not closed all the way he taught himself how to let himself out with his snout and would use his paws to let himself back in. Yes he did shed a lot - So muich so that we had to pay hundreds to get the hairs out of the HVAC coils even if we changed the filters monthly. Also, he often wake me up in the middle of the night and not because he had to go out but because he was lonely. What really hurt was that if I had been asked a month ago how long he had to go I would have said a year at least, maybe two. He stopped eating on Thanksgiving Day so I took him to the vet on that Friday. On Saturday they callled and said it was cancer and at his age nothing really to do but say goodbye. A heavy price to pay for joyous years.
They do shed, they are big, they need exercise but they are hands down the best most loving dog you can get. I have 2, Nelly and her pup Oso, 100 lbs each and I wouldn't trade em for a million dollars.
Black labs are true companions and must be trained properly. Everything in this video is accurate, but I feel like this video is solidifying why you should get one if youre willing to commit. overall it comes down to just being a good dog owner. The issues presented in the video are common across many breeds, and it's probably a zero sum game because every breed has different negatives, BUT every dog is trainable. My experience is coming from about 23 years of having black labs. Like most dogs, proper taining, love and excersise is what's needed.
All dogs are Same, if you love them they wil love you back , if u can’t don’t buy any dog 🙏🏻
The only bad thing about labs are that their farts are highly radioactive and can clear out a portion of the house while the occupants beg for mercy from the cloud of doom
haha!
I can second this! It amazes me how something so EVIL can come out of something so cute! Seriously, it is the most foul, rancid, disgusting thing I have ever smelled in my life.
Cause the bad food. My one dont.
I also believe it is strongly influenced by their diet, but when they occasionally fart, they take no prisoners and it feels like a new kind of chemical weapon has just been invented 🤣
Yesterday we said goodbye to our dog it was really painful 😢 can't imagine going through that again
i got my black lab for my 16th birthday back in 2020 and now i’m almost 19 and he’s my best friend ❤️❤️
I have had a black lab sin 1970 when I can home from VN I am on number 6 right now these dogs have kept me going and saved my life many time the English labs are way more Mello than American labs which are hunting dogs but I do not agree with all you say I am 77 and 100%DAV and this one is very well trained she just turned 8 so I think alot of people should not get one and leave it in the house or kennel while they go to work She keeps me going with many health issues that I have
The most beautiful caring dog ever had them and grew up with them all my life.
13 and a 1/2 wonderful years with mine. The best friend I could ever know. Black Labs forever. ❤
He is right about black Labs. on everything. We love our rescue lab. Loki is my best friend and a fun dog. But if your not active and outdoorsy and not use to a big doggo then a it wouldn’t be fair to the dog to adopt a lab. Use a harness and not a collar so their throat won’t be damaged. 🐕🦺
Why does this video apply to only black labs. Wouldn’t it be all Labrador’s? Either way I have two black labs and love them. They are so smart, sweet, and protective.
We have a 5 yr old black lab male. We are in the process of adopting an 18 week female. Ive owned many different breeds of dogs and colors. These dogs are by far the best mannered, intellegent and affectionate dogs ever. Black dogs are most commonly surrendered to shelters because people are morons if they think a dogs color defines them as good or bad. The stupidest thing Ive ever heard. Its like putting a kid up for adoption because their eyes are brown instead of blue. This infuriates me.
This is my 3rd Black Lab for me. They are fairly different in personality! My first was a rescue, and he came to be The Diplomat. He learned so fast that I didn't train him, handled all situations with perfect aplomb. Him and my old horse were great friends. The second was a chow mix, and she was the opposite! If she made a decision, it was the wrong one. But she was lovable in her weird way. My current one is an english lab, really bouncy boy who enjoys sleeping on top of me. Good video!
My black lab was the best dog I ever had. She died at 14. I still miss her
My black Labrador just died. He was born in 2020 to 2023 so he had a whole chance of a big life so now I'm kinda mad at u. Rest in peace xerxes there will never be a black Labrador more majestic then you in my eyes
While watching this my black lab is sleeping on my lap
Have 5 month old he is soooo sweet and smart!! Loves water and everyone he meets❤️ he goes daycare couple days week to play and socialize and is in puppy classes .. he is such a joy and I highly recommend them 😍
Mine is about 9 months old . Even though she has about drove me crazy with her energy, being a puppy and getting into everything! lol I love and adore her !!! Couldn’t picture my life without her !! Even only being 9 months old she 1 of 2 of the best dogs I ve ever had !!!! Great family dog !!
Thanks for sharing!!
I had 2males and am on 4th female easier to train and home body's always at my side
RIP smokey my black lab
I watched this video because I just acquired a black lab mix and was curious about the negative connotation in the title. While watching I realized this is really a pro-black lab video! It explains what you need to be willing to do to make your black lab a happy and healthy addition to your family! If you're not able to provide the time, attention, and energy that this wonderful breed needs, then that would be totally unfair to him/her! And you need to consider another breed altogether. My new rescue Lila, was gifted to me (they knew I wanted a dog after losing my beloved Schipperke) by amazing friends and coworkers and after months of screening shelter dogs, they knew she was just perfect for me!! After meeting her at the shelter with my family, we quickly knew she was the one, and we brought her home. She is sweet, loving, and amazing with other dogs. 🥰💗🐕🦮 Someone is home often to play with and shower her with the love and attention she needs and deserves! We love her and will happily provide her with all that she needs to be happy, healthy and well adjusted. Thank you for sharing this informative video! 💖
Thank you! You nailed it!!
Joe again
My sierra talks to me and my wife every day
I have had fellow DAV veterans who adopted lab mix I prefer full blooded labs not being a snob but after 6 labs since 1970 one friend had a male names Jake. Not sure what other kind of dog he was but bite a few people for no reason had to surrender him he was a great dog 😫😫🇺🇲🇺🇲🪖
They are the best!
Same, I love my big baby girl💕
A good lab doesn't depend on their color their attitude is how the owner train them
I just lost my 13yr old black lab/border collie (best guess) rescue. She was all black lab with a white patch on her chest though. She had a rough start to life. Seized from a home w/32 other dogs and cats, went to a vet training clinic, then to a rescue. With patients, redirecting behaviors, and love, she became a once in a lifetime amazing best friend. She lived in our 3 cats world. A 60lb dog bowing to our 12lb cat that owns the house, ignoring the 10lb Princess Kitty, and belonged to 13lb cat Bass. 3 months after Bass passed she just wasn’t healing from him passing, so we got her a kitty, who came w/a crazy sister that is now my shadow. Once Marlin got used to B (the big scary dog) they became buddies, and our B was back to her happy self. When we’re ready, we will get another black lab mix. My husband and I while growing up just had better dogs of mix breed. My dream in life is to run a black dog&cat rescue, as they are the least likely to be adopted. BBD syndrome, big black dog. When I learned the statistics of all black/mostly black dogs and cats rescue rates it broke my heart. 🤞🏼 I win the lottery one day.
Great comment. Thank you for sharing
women in the my local walmart parking lot was giving away black labs from the trunk of her suv. one of them dead locked eye contact with me as i walked by. so i snatched him up and named him Odin. so far he is great addition to our big family and snuggled in perfectly. ❤
I’ve had Labrador Retrievers for 30 years, and all but two were black. I’ve also had Great Pyrenees, Great Danes, hounds, terriers, GSDs, American Bulldogs, and others. HANDS DOWN, I will always take a black Lab as the best all around dog.
Adopted Sherlock from Broward Humane Society in November of 2021. He was flown in with 60 other rescues from Baton Rouge LA. He was a handsome and sweet black lab that appeared healthy. The vet said he had 3 intestinal parasites that he treated him for and would gain 15 lbs which he did. A year later he seemed fine but tested positive for heart worm. Apparently with a negative test initially and put on heartworm preventative immediately there is a window where the dog tests negative but will turn positive and should be rechecked in 90 days.Today he is a happy, healthy but very energetic dog. He needs to play and run a lot as the video talks about. If you adopt a black lab you will have a loyal and loving companion. Just make sure you are ready to get up and out to exercise every day!😎👍
The best dog I ever had was my black lab. He was sweet but would protect if he needed to. Smart and loyal. Loved kids and listened very well I had him eight years. It broke my heart the day he died . I'll always miss and love my Marley .
I never listen to this kind of stuff my life turns a year next month I got him in February of this year 2022 and he's already showing that he's very protective for me and my family. He doesn't take food from anybody who doesn't live in the house. My uncle tried to give him some food and he wouldn't even take it he's very protective and very smart
My family has a Black & Golden Lab and I love them! A Black Lab is tied with Golden Retriever as my top favorite dog breeds! The Black Lab would be another option for me if I wasn’t able to get a German Shepard! I love this breed! ❤️
Your video, and comments below, are excellent and true to this great breed. I'm glad that you present it as instructional not criticisms. All dogs require attention and good care. I have had wonderful dogs of high breeding and some off the street. But Labs are amazing. Anyone of good heart who brings a lab into their life will be inspired by the affection (and laughs) they provide.
I own three Blacks. Males are 95 and 110lbs, female 70. Amazing dogs and two walks a day seems to do the trick.
I dissagree black labs make wonderfull pets they are very sweet, kind and gentle I love there energetic energy they have unlike me :l but I own 5 very sweet labs and if you are looking for a dog I would totally recomened labs just make sure you buy them a toy or they will use your shoes :)
multiple toys, as many as possible
I agree with the first point. They are very strong dogs and difficult to take out and handle and separation anxiety is true as well.
How does this differ from any other Lab?
My 5 month old black lab hesitates to go out for a walk , he just stops in middle of the walk
Both of my labs , male 100.lbs, and female 70 lbs can be controlled with voice commands. I never put a leash on them.
I had a black lab
Her name was kia i loved her more than me myself
She never liked being alone
Once me and my family went to waterpark at night we had dinner and just a few metres away from our home we checked the cameras because usually the know it from like metres away when we checked the camera she was nowhere to be seen when we reached home then too we were unable to find her weasked our neighbors they too didnt knew anything we searched everywhere but we cant find her then after few minutes my father found her in the back corner of my backyard lying down we were so happy to be able to find her until after a few seconds my father said she died my heart broke and e were crying like hell
Miss u kia hope u will be fine
I love u
Oh my thats horrible. Well I guess my dog Puppy is out there with Kia playing. 🌈
@@Innocenthildi o yeah cuz Kia makes friends very easily
I know she misses you one day you will be reunited ♥
My black lab was a party animal... Found him naked and in jail. I bailed him out and brought him home. All he wanted to do was travel the world and meet people, and he loved picking up chicks at the coffee shop. He and our other buddy (a catahoula) were just three guys hanging out. How I miss my boys...
best dogs ever ❤
Our Mindy-girl was the the best pup you coulda asked for.
She would never jump on you.
Would only bark if someone knocked and then proceed to be happy to meet a new friend.
She'd always want to be by your side.
She was a sweetheart.
Labs are such good, loyal, loving, fun, dogs.
I've had a black lab mix, Buddy. Most of this is true. Amazing intelligence, mischievous, very protective with kids. But when I'd leave for work he was so heartbroken he would tear up the blinds, coach, and howl & yodel until I was home. He would steal, hoard, and chew my things into a nest so he could feel closer to me.
Yeah, so I sewed a couple of my old jerseys together to make my guy a 'blankie' for his dog bed, and that helped, stopped him stealing my socks.
Black lab is best winter bed companion, warm all night, lots of happy tail thumping bed buddy protector.
whats the diffrence betwen the other ones
I have a pure bred yellow lab and he is all of this but even though he doesn’t socialise because there are no other dogs for miles he is still happy
The best dog I ever had was a black lab. He was SOOOO good, but man was he big. He was over 100 Ibs when he died. He was so big his hips gave out. I miss Lucky.
Good boy!
This is so on point. I don't know why there are so many dislikes. I recently brought black lab and it's so energetic. They are hyper active.
Watching this while my black lab barking outside at 2.am and nobody can sleep because of himm 😂😂
haha
The black lab is strong ,energetic, requires a lot or attention,ext. but when my lab knew and cared to jump in my pool and place his nose under my grandson arm pit and pull him up to surface and swim to the steps that a thinker and figure out what to do with training. Now who wouldn’t want a dog like that. And they show nothing but love,
Thank you Duke for saving my Grandson’s life
I don’t have a black labs but I do have two chocolate labs. I started with one and then a year later got a second. Full disclosure I live in an apartment in Houston. I did TONS of research before getting a dog and labs were on the list of “apartment friendly” as long as you are active. I will say my two labs could not be more different, my first one (male) is very calm attentive, self sufficient and brilliant. My second (girl) is a Tasmanian Devil lol and tons of energy but loves to cuddle. Oh my boy never barks while my girl barks at everything with even her own reflection. Now my first was with me every single day as I worked from home when I got him he was the EASIEST dog to train! Literally potty trained in two days and so easy with any thing! My girl dog I got for company for the first when I went back to office life, in the beginning I thought I may have made a mistake as her training experience was SOOOO different. She took 4-5month to fully potty train, I had to crate train her as she is quite destructive (where as my boy is the opposite and gets free roam when I’m not home) what got me through her training was constantly remembering it was a different tracing experience lol. Now FULL disclosure, like I said they are GREAT apartment dogs IF (and it’s a HUGE if) you are willing to tailor your life around having Labs. I take them for a MINIMUM of 3 walks a day but it’s usually 4, they go to the dog park at least 4-5 times a week! Pros, they become so socialized with other people and other dogs you could literally take them anywhere. Cons, the commitment is NO JOKE! Lol my friends get annoyed “oh I can’t because of the pups, or oh I have to be home by this time” and ALOT of exercise. Also HAIR, sooooo much hair! It’s ALL year round! I could vacuum my house 12 times and their would still be hair everywhere! I’ve literally gotten a fresh apple from the fridge, but into it…hair lol.All that said, my dogs have unlocked a part in my heart I never knew I had. I couldn’t imagine my life with out them! Love them soooooo much! The best part of my day is coming home and seeing their beautiful faces!
black labs and chocolate labs are the same dog with a color mutation they are all Labrador retrievers they are the same bread of dog only with different coats. some say that they have different temperaments and for a long time were not regarded has equal but two black labs can have a chocolate lab pups. two chocolate labs can have a black lab pup and both black and chocolate labs can have a white/golden labs. Labradors unlike what most people think can have many coats not exclusively black. they range from solid black, black with some white markings, black with some dark brown mixed in (my Labrador was like this it had brown streaks on its back almost like a panther), dark brown, light brown, yellow or gold and finally white it is not actually white it is a very pale shade of yellow that resembles white. my grand father had a kennel and he bread dogs i have seen many puppies and it is rare for a Labrador to have exclusively black babies but they come out black, yellow or brown when it is two black labs their is more chance that the puppies will have the same coat has its parents but you can get 3 black labs and one chocolate lab even when both the parents are black labs it does not work like humans were mom his white dad his white baby will be white you increase the chances with dogs but the gene is still there and the puppies can come out not the same color has his siblings or parents.
Have a 50lbs female black lab and she is the best thing I've ever been around. I don't know what if do without her.
Any breed recommendations for someone who wants a dog with similar friendly personality and trainability traits as the lab but require less than an hour exercise daily?
Excellent video, thanks for all the helpful information
My pleasure!
The lab mix I rescued after he was dumped , starved and sick . He weighed 65 lbs but after a trip to the vet and 30 days later he's 75 lbs. Very sweet dog n absolutely love it when he takes me for a walk.
I have a black labrador and he's amazing and such a cheeky personality. Most loving dog.
Maybe title this "7 things to consider before getting a black lab". They are the best, most sweet tempered dogs ever.
They definitely aren’t dogs for beginner dog owners. But still an amazing breed! I have one and he’s my bestie for life.
I have a black lab x rottie, about 54kg's (110 pounds), and I got him 1 day before covid hard lockdown here, so it was impossible to socialise him. He is awesome, impossible, powerful, so loving, never gets tired and is obssesive about balls, I love him more than anything. Oh, and the shedding is insane.
My 1st dog was a black lab. She was my best friend, so kind, funny and intelligent.
My 13 year old black lab sadly passed away some time ago I was so sad I cried the rest of the day my nose ran and I had to wipe it away it was so bad that at the end of the day the skin under my nose was completely gone because of the paper I used to wipe it away😢
I am 10 years old don’t judge me.
Though 8 am am glad that this video wasn’t just a giant middle finger to black Labradors🙂
*though I*
Just some good news… me and my family are getting a new dog soon!😁🐶🐶🐶🐶
My dogter is such a crazy horse. 2 year old girl named Lila. The nudging temper tantrums, she lays out flat and we call her long dog. So much emotion and energy. Like a nuclear power plant. Lol I love this dogger to death.
We had a black lab. The most beautiful loving best friend ever. Everyone loved him. And he loved everyone. I say it's a wonderful breed. We miss our big boy "Clyde" he will always be in our hearts. Lived a little over 14 years. A good size indoor dog with a very big size welcome , loyal and my friend. You do want a black lab.
My parents had a black Labrador named Rocky. He was the most loving and playful dog, my mother loved him. He had a big yard to play in, back in the side of the house surrounded by a six-foot high wooden fence. From time to time, Rocky would jump the fence to go visit a smaller dog down the street. Most likely a female. The owner of that dog did not like it and called the dog pound (SPCA) and we had to go retrieve Rocky for a 45-dollar fine. First of all, we couldn't believe he jumped the fence, and then I witnessed it in one day. He was running alongside it and leaped over ladderly. We did chain him many times, but he would be screaming and yelling. After about 12 times rescuing Rocky from the dog pound, and the fine going up and all. I told Mom, to leave him there. It broke my brother's heart. These dogs are lovable and loyal but smart, not that much.
Hi brother, I have a black lab puppy he is just 2months old can you please say how I trained him I don't know please reply me😢
1 hour to 1.5 hours of exercise? Yeah right. Try 3-4 hours. These dogs are absolute tanks and can go all day.
I’m getting a black Labrador pup on Saturday.. it’s a girl and it’s sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute and my dads neighbour has a black lab and my mom lives next door to someone who has some cats and just to say we are super playful and active so it’s the perfect doge
Sometimes it hard to get up in the morning but my black lab makes shore I do love him and could imagine life with him or my cats
Best dog that I ever had, and I have owned dogs for over 50 years.
i disagre i have a black lab they are sweet loving and kind and ya they are energetic but not that much they are also funny and ya they shed a lot but you clean it up once i was crying and he came up from laying down and walked up to me and sat by me he helped me threw many tough times
Love my big boy he is a smart sweet loyal family member.
I've been around dogs for 34 years and black labs always stand out as the all around best dogs.
Best to have mixed with other breeds (like all dogs) to avoid genetic issues.
My Black lab Dolly she live with my parents in other city. I miss her soo much. I can’t wait to meet her soon
They are so inteligent, mine was easy to train, but mine was an escape artist
The title is misleading. It’s not about the colour of the lab but about the elements to consider when adopting a highly energetic dog such as Labrador (of any colour). It’s not applicable just to black
Labs. I also find some information questionable. Not all labs have separation anxiety and a dominant leader nature. As a mum of a black lab, all I can tell you is that they are amazing in all colours and sizes. They can be quite independent and get along with other dogs, cats and other animals. It all depends of the environment in which they grew up and how they were trained. All thy need is a caring, loving and responsible human, as all the pets do.
What a bunch of bull! I have had 2 black labs and they were amazing. The one I have now is really smart and affectionate. She listens well and knows who the alpha leader is. I think it is shameful to single out a dog by its color. I have had a couple chocolate labs and they were no different than my black ones. Labs are labs, an amazing specie of dogs and highly recommend any color lab. You will not be disappointed.
I just lost my black Lab Gator after 14 years best dog I ever had great manners loyal loved him he was the son I never had and he loved and protected kids my shadow loved riding in my truck head out the window and strongest of all my dogs and very smart all I had to say is get in the truck or shake my keys and he was at the truck in 10 seconds RIP Gator miss you my boy
When I was younger I got a black lab and she was just fine and she listened to me so she would go slower because I was 5 but she was the perfect dog for me and we had a pool before she died and we would go swimming in the pool
Accurate. Mine keeps me in shape.
That’s great
These same 7 things can be said of almost all dogs.
All dogs need socialization, exercise, companionship and an owner who is a leader.
Size is only an issue if you can’t control your dog.
A 20lb terrier can be more of a handful than a 200lb Newfoundland dog.
Yes, labs shed, but they are far fro: the worst breeds in this regard. Setters, huskies, golden retrievers , German shepards all are worse.
