Is it true that you can't have too many friends? I had two wonderful dogs that I rescued several years ago, and I thought that was enough, However, my Son asked me to PLEASE take his two three year old Labrador Retrievers as he simply did not have the time to give to them that they need, and since I have a nice big pond near my home, they would be very happy here. So now I have 5 dogs. The 5th one being an 18 month old chocolate Lab, daughter of the yellow Lab .
So back to the question, can you have too many?
I will answer my own question as follows, and of course this is my openion and may not be yours.
A person can have too many animal friends if and when it reaches the point that you do not have enough time or money to care for all of them adiquately. I have learned from my time with the Labrador Retrievers that this breed craves companionship and attention more than the average dog. They are non aggressive dogs, and make wonderful family pets where there are children, once they are trained to not jump up on people. I have learned through AKC membership that they are the most popular dog and have been for many years running. They are super intelligent and easy to train. I also have learned that when they have puppies, they have very big litters. The original dogs that I received from my son have both been bread and had 11 to 13 pups each time. Thank God there is a great demand for this breed of dog. My yellow Lab has found ways out of the pen when she is in heat, and her last litter was not planned and the father of the pups, though a beautiful dog, was not a Lab. I was able to find really good homes for the really precious pups. On April 9th Sandy took a trip to the Vet and now I don't have to worry about her having any more mixed breed puppies. I plan to breed Shelby, the very special black Lab before having her "Fixed", so if you or any one you know is in the market in the not too distant future for a Labrador puppy, let me know. I have a male picked out to breed her to that is of champeion blood and is a very intelligent dog.
It is a wonderful thing to be able to enjoy the puppies, and at the age of 6 to 8 weeks, place them in good homes, and of course the money comes in good from the sale of them, as it helps cover the cost of keeping the others. Anyone interested in these dogs contact me at dg6wranch@yahoo.com I would be willing to sell the 18 month old chocolate for what I have in her in vet cost as she has been "fixed" already. She craves attention and is a great retriever. She would love to be a house dog, but is currently living in a kennel.
I would be happy to hear about your dog experiences.
