I grew up with Lab and I love them too, they are so easy to train for hunting, it's simply natural for them...
As a kid I went to the chicken coop to pick up the eggs as I walk out of the barn I drop one egg our lab at the time was walking next to me and caught that egg mid air with its mouth without breaking it...always thought it was incredible.
I currently have a lab and a golden retriever / border colie mix. The lab I can bring anywhere not so much the other one, he his dominant, protective and grumpy type, despite his stubbornness he listen very well. I trust him around people but don't trust people around him if that make sense, he his not vicious by any means but he his particular on who he let touch him. He never bit anyone but he will warn you more then once and each time more obvious but I don't trust people to listen to these warnings... I always want/try to bring them along but often leave the golden behind for these reasons....
A few weeks ago I went to see my cousin at his cabin, since it was in the bush and didn't expect too many people to be there I brough them both. I wasn't there too long and one of my other cousin show up with his kids and their dog. Their dog is not train very well and is a attention freak plus all he wants to do is play, he is pretty obsess. I made the introduction between them outside without anyone around, it went well other then my dog had to show him he was the dominant one. I made it clear to everyone, A don't touch my dog and B no fetching no balls no nothing. I told my dog to sit and stay next to me (I didn't bring a leash, bad owner I know) but he is obedient so he stayed without issue and everything was perfectly fine other then my cousin dog was really annoying because he couldn't play. In order to shut his dog up my cousin started telling me ''poor dog,(implying mine) they are good let him be'' I was like no he his fine where he his, there's too many people and if I let them be they will get in the mix of us and they will fight by jealousy or protection for us, so for your dog and everyone safety he will stay where he is ...he wasn't letting it go and kept bugging me, then the F**** started telling me its not a big deal if it happen plus I think my dog would win anyways ... I was blown away, I laugh and was like I've never seen my dog loose the upper hand (believe me I wish he would maybe it would smart him up) and are we organizing a dog fight is that what is happening right now ?? at that point I left... like I said I trust my dog I just don't trust people around my dog.
I always get the one person come over and say ho nice dog can I pet him ? I say no he is particular so don't. Then they insist, it's fine I am a dog person… I have to argue with them...how exhausting, sometime I fell like just letting it happen but I know how it would turn around against me so quick.
