UK Labradoodle Association

Used it on dogs and kids.
When my son had an emergency appendectomy the Drs wee amazed at his recovery rate

Sounds normal for a pup whose never been taught there are different ways of doing things

Did OH think your babies arrived knowing how to deal with everything human life throws at them?
