You have misconception about this just like many Muslims do. All animals are HIS creation and we should love and care for them.

Hi SM, labradors are loveable, but I warn you, they want to play ALL the time when young (and they don't grow up until they are about 10 lol), need lots of walking, preferably where they can run off the lead to wear them out a bit. They can be quite demanding, but as you know love my Benny to bits. They take some training and to be honest, would not say they were a good first dog, but you might have found a nice placid one. I'd advise lurchers myself. they love to run, but quite happy with a short, fast run, then want to sleep. They will snuggle up to you for hours and are quite lazy, very loving and loyal.

If the labrador you are thinking about is a rescue one, it's probably older so will be ok and I wouldn't want to put you off. Just remember, you have to be boss, although I don't think that will be a problem with you lol.

PS, they LOVE water and mud!

Black Labs are the prototypical DOG, dogs. They are big, oafie, lumps of energy, great companions, take charge animals.

But if you are going for that type of dog, the Golden Retriever is the same, but they love the water. That's an added dimension if you like rivers, lakes or the beach. Nothing greater than a Golden chasing sticks and playing with sea lions in the Bay.

by Guest Mon Sep 28, 2015 5:21 pm

Official Kennel Club name of black labs is Labrador Retrievers, never known one yet what wasn't a fantastic swimmer. Benny certainly is:

Oh yeah...that's right. But they are such prodigious work dogs that you don't think of them as having fun in water, like to Golden. But you are right.

I've had both breeds. Both are wonderful.

Certainly are.

Sexy, you'll have to make sure your new dog gets on with Tango. In my experience our cat was definitely the boss!! x

by eddie Tue Sep 29, 2015 6:14 pm

SM labs are lovely but a breed that absolutely needs rescuing are Beagles and they come top as a family dog.

They are brilliant with children and easy to train.

They are some that are bred solely for animal testing.
I beg you to consider rescuing one.

Plus, they are adorable!

by SEXY MAMA Tue Sep 29, 2015 7:46 pm

Thanks eddie.

I will look into them.

FTL i really hope so as Tango is a really laid back cat and my third baby x

by eddie Tue Sep 29, 2015 8:06 pm

We were thinking of getting a dog but because my daughter is only a toddler - nearly 4 actually - I'm worried about leaving her downstairs with a dog.
I've got two flights of stairs and can't keep on bringing her with me or locking the dog away when I have to make one of my many trips upstairs.

I like greyhounds; docile and lazy with a genuine love of cuddling.
I love beagles too.

TYPES OF FOXES IN TEXAS

As small, largely solitary members of the family Canidae, foxes survive by using secrecy, agility and their intelligence, rather than great numbers and brawn, to survive alongside larger relatives such as coyotes and wolves. Foxes are remarkably adaptable animals that thrive in a wide variety of habitats; as Texas is such a vast and varied land, it is no surprise that four different species of fox inhabit the state. Red, gray, swift and kit foxes all have unique differences that allow them to occupy and exploit various niches and habitats.

Red Foxes
Red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are the largest foxes in Texas, reaching almost 30 pounds, though most are smaller. Generally colored red to orange dorsally, they have dark feet, white under parts and white tips on the tail. The bold-colored foxes are surprisingly cryptic, and often persist unnoticed, living in close proximity to human habitation. Red foxes inhabit forests, meadows, farms and suburban areas in the eastern and north-central portions of the state. Omnivorous, red foxes hunt rabbits, rodents, frogs, birds and insects; additionally, they scavenge for eggs, carrion, berries, fruit and human garbage. In March or April, four to nine pups are born in a secluded den or burrow.

Gray Foxes
The gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) often has a combination of red, gray, white, brown and black fur and a black tip on the tail. Gray foxes are the only members of the family Canidae who can climb trees. They use this to their advantage; scientists have found dens more than 30 feet above the forest floor. Usually less than 10 pounds in weight, gray foxes are hunted by bobcats (Lynx rufus), great horned owls (Bubo virginianus), and most importantly, coyotes (Canis latrans). While gray foxes live statewide, they are not as common in areas with high coyote populations, being outcompeted and hunted by the larger animals.

Kit Foxes
Kit foxes are pale colored foxes with very large, round ears high on their head. Confined to the Trans-Pecos region of the state, kit foxes prefer arid habitats with loose soil to allow den construction. Kit foxes generally maintain several dens, and use them in a rotating manner. Though they will eat fruit if food is scarce, they are primarily carnivorous, and hunt black-tailed jackrabbits (Lepus californicus), cottontail rabbits (Sylvilagus sp.), prairie dogs (Cynomys sp.), various rodents and insects. Coyotes are responsible for 75 percent of all predation events on kit foxes, but most other local predators, including red foxes, also hunt them.

Swift Foxes
Swift foxes (Vulpes velox) are the smallest fox in Texas, and average about 4 or 5 pounds in weight. They somewhat resemble gray foxes, but you can distinguish them by their small size -- comparable to that of a house cat -- and the presence of dark markings on each side of their face. Swift foxes inhabit the panhandle region of Texas, frequently constructing their dens in open fields, farms, prairies and deserts. Aptly named, swift foxes are capable of running up to 30 mph pursuing prey or bolting from predators. Swift foxes eat any small animals they can catch, including rodents, insects and reptiles. Swift foxes are federally endangered, and habitat protection is critical for their survival.

It's this species that wouldn't survive in Texas...
