Long story short
My lovely brother and his witch of a wife are splitting up after quite a long marriage. About a year ago, she decided they should have a ''trendy'' dog, even though her main hobby is shopping. They bought a lovely chocolate labrador girl. Now she doesnt'' want her and my brother can''t take her because he works 12 hour shifts - so we are rescuing her.
I already have an elderly yellow lab and a 4 year old jack russell terrier cross, but I wonder if anyone has a chocolate lab and has experienced any of the supposed behavioural issues around them. My next door neighbour is a vet, and he says they are the most problematic of the labs in this respect.
I would be interested to hear of issues and ways of dealing with them. I am thinking my terrier will sort her out from the get go, but any advice gratefully received.
Thanks in advance
