I have always had Chocolate labs, my last female died 2 summers ago three days before she would have been 15 years old. At the time I also had a male 195 pound Great Dane. He passed at 10 years old this past May. In July after much research for another Lab, I put a deposit down for an up coming litters female yellow lab. We should be getting her between Christmas and New Years.
The wife and I are very anxious to get her. This is the first time in 20 plus years I have not had a dog in the house. Went with the lab becuase we live on the lake. Will probably get another dane in two years to go with the Lab. My last lab taught my dane to love the water.
