r/Labs

You guys loved her so much so I thought I’d share more photos from the first week we’ve had with her. I was the one who asked to help ID the second breed in her :)

My mom also made an instagram for her, it’s @indyrose_blacklab you all should follow it and see how she grows up!! (You don’t have to)

My boy is 14.5 yrs old … I know his time is limited but I’m spending everything I can with him 🖤

This is my 6 year old lab? mix. We rescued her and they guessed lab hound mix. She's the only one of the litter with this coloring. She is around 80 lbs rn because she gained a couple over the winter😅and certainly NOT a lap dog but thinks she is when it's storming. Any breed guesses?

You have to look really close, but you can see my chocolate lab Otis outside and is hunting last night and you know what he got me was a mole, a giant rat and a possum lol he was so proud of himself and I told my husband I am not picking that dead stuff up. At least he didn’t try to eat it like bunny foo foo

Our 11 week old chcolate lab eye looked like this today. The only other time it looked like this was last Saturday (Mother's Day weekend and it wasnt this bad). We thought it was because of allergies from being in a new (to him) used crate. I washed the crate and scrubbed it and no problems since then.

He's been outside a a little bit today but mainly has been inside. Should we be worried? We've looked online and Google says its "cherry eye" if it persists then he may need to go to the vet and possibly surgery. Other than allergies, what could it be? Do you think it is cherry eye? And how concerned should we be?

The first photo is from today. Last one is from mother's day weekend.

UPDATE: we emailed the vet and messaged our breeder. It resolved about 30 min after it happened and I'm taking him in.

Still trying to believe this sweet pup is actually mine.

Got this little girl a few days ago and I’m already obsessed. The people we got her from said she’s a mix, but they literally couldn't remember the name of the other breed (it was something "weird" apparently). To me, she looks almost 99% pure Black Lab, but she’s got this random white tuft on her chest that makes me wonder what else is in there.

Behavior so far 48 hours in:
She is a total stinker as most puppies are. Only 9 weeks old and already has the highest confidence. She doesn't just walk, she kind of bounces with pride everywhere she goes and holds her head high. She is VERY social with everybody. She’s also surprisingly observant and smart. Like, we turned on the TV tonight and she sat upright just tracking the screen for a while before getting comfortable to keep watching.
In the car, she insists on sitting on the middle console just to scout everything out. She’s definitely in that psychotic/crash suddenly/repeat puppy phase. She’s also super vocal and already "talks" to us.
Maybe some of that behavior is just roll of the dice and can be common for labs, but it’s just very interesting to me, she seems uncharacteristically intelligent and observant of her surroundings more than any Lab I’ve had before, which I have had 4 including her now since I’ve been alive. And like I said, very immediately confident ever since we picked her up.
Any guesses on what the mystery breed could be? Border Collie? Pointer? Or just a Lab with a "medallion" spot? Let me know what you guys think! I honestly think she’s 100% physically a lab, but her personality is showing whatever breed it is and I’m leaning that it could be BC for some reason maybe.
