here's one of Lola catching a frisbee

I have just changed Lola to Chudley's Classic its £11 for 15kg and it scores 2* on the dog food analysis website but I do supplement with tin food and real food. Lola loves the stuff because its really crunchy.

My main advice would be not to call them unless you can 'make' them recall if they ignore you. This is a lot easier when they are younger because the longer they get away with not returning when they are called the more 'deaf' they will become to it.

Frontline is poisonous to water creatures so you are not supposed to let them near ponds, rivers ect.. for a couple of days (good luck trying)

As this is frontlines advice I would imagine that it must wash off fairly easily.

Last night Lola brought me my mother-in-laws bra! She has also been know to take underwear out of the dirty wash bin and throw them around the kitchen when guests are round!

Don't think that's what they need to hear at this time.

and name calling is not big or clever!!!

It was more of a stab at the breeder, immaterial of whether its what they need to hear!

There is a lot of talk on this website about breeders having their dogs health checked but why aren't you discussing breeders selling to people that can actually meet the needs of a labradoodle.

Not knowing the size!! what a poor excuse! A breeder should have never sold you one!!!

We have cow fields on two sides of us and all the cows are fine with the dogs apart from one. Its the same black female that chased my mother in law last year! Ive never had any problems with them but I was wondering if its because I have no fear of them. I obviously give them respect and dont get t...

I can see Lola in 2, 3 and 8.

Not sure about the others though.

so Barney came to you with the obsession and you let it continue?

If a dog is obsessed it is because you let it be obsessed.

If you have control of your dog then it wouldn't be able to steel other dogs balls!

So to rectify the problem I would recommend going back to basic dog training e.g. sit, stay, come etc..

Lola had a great time, she doesn't have many doggy friends so it was great to see her play with the other doodles. I have uploaded some photos but Im afraid they are very Lola biased. Anyways we look forward till the next one! Cheers, Paul http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2157/3542051813_15fc035b2b_m....

Lola passed her PAT assessment about 2 months ago but im still waiting for my references to go through.

Good Luck,

Paul

This is exactly the same problem I had with Lola. After 1 month of training she now swims in rivers and in the sea (but only when its shallow and gets deeper). All I did was to keep throwing it in the water and gradually getting deeper and deeper. She is now much more confident. Hope this helps Paul
