1 month is a bit too young to get a puppy. I am no expert but should thay not be with mum until 7 or 8 weeks?
Check out the Volhard Puppy Attitude Test. It gives you a great idea of how to choose a puppy. And helps you choose the kind of temperament you want.
You’re not picking a material item here. Pick the dog that chooses you. Use your instinct (and think of your lifestyle/commitment).
I doubt that most are selecting show dogs. And if you are? Remember that most show dogs don’t ever prove anything outside the ring as far as performance is concerned. Just take a look at German Shepherds. They’ve got the weirdest back legs thanks to people finding that peculiarity attractive.
Just love your dog, quirks and all.
I read somewhere that Cesar Millan suggested not picking the puppy that climbs all over you and begs to be chosen; and I’m wondering if that should be the case, in labs in particular because they’re already going to be hyper abs the hyper puppy might be one of those nasty ones that go all over you abd knock you to the floor to say hello?
my puppy is 1 month old, we just got him today, he seems to sleep a lot and hes not interacting much yet, is this a worrying sign? Or is this typical for a 1 month old puppy?
This is good for me because I might be getting a Lab puppy so I need to know which one to pick. Now I know.
I have one lab in my family, he was 8 years old and he made my family was happy alway! I love him… MARCO~
Lab’s are the best, i’ve had an Akita, German Shepard, Rott, pitt, and a boxer, hands down the Lab’s are the best. These dog’s have character. Funny dog’s, with great temperament with family & kids.
I never had a lab puppy in my life.
I got to pick out a pit bull puppy before and he was the biggest and had the most interesting coat pattern on a dog you’ll ever seen!
We never let him be around other people but when we did he was the most friendly dog you will ever meet! I dont know why pit bull are friendly when people say there evil.
But a lab does seem cute!
When we went to get our lab, there were 6 trying to get to me and my sister, and one behind not really intrested, but there were two that were really getting themselves above the others, one looking at me, the other at my sister, we ended up getting two of them, because we have one each now.
agreed! theres shy, normal, and bold. i chose bold b4 i learned the right way to choose. i just randomly chose. he had worms and he was just a mess, not hes healthy and my best friend
You want to pick the litter not the individual puppy if you are trying to attain certain qualities for hunting, hunt test, and field trial work.
Not unless you go to the SPCA .
when we got our lab pup he was the fattest and laziest one but hes by far the smartest dog i’ve ever been around and the nicest
I would be more drawn to one of the withdrawn ones lol
a good labrador breeder will select the puppy most suited to you, not have you randomly pick from an entire liter!
I’m very sorry, I just had to do this, cause I was scared
in 1908 a lady named sally rusa was in the woods looking for a dog until a ghost came and killed her so if ur reading this u will find a bloody body in your closet hanging there haunting you and will kill you and ur family and if u want to stop this just sends this to 6 videos in 30 mins or this will happen good luck
oh no, those pups will get adopted, never fails. lots of people still just choose by cuteness. but this guy is saying, when given the choice, if you want to pick the pup with the best shot at being a great dog, go with the friendly, outgoing one.
Thanks I enjoyed this one
then what about the unplayful ones that will never get adopted and never learn to like people at an early age? seriously, dude, think about everyone.
ANGEL WAKE YOUR ASS UP
go to the Labrador club website to get information on picking a Labrador.
uh yeah what about genetic clearences? the percentage of puppies born to parents with OFA hip and elbow and CERF is small, very small! people should look for parents with documented clearences
