Just thought I'd let you see a picture of the now considerably older pups with Max our blind collie.

Now seeing that you would not think butter would melt in their mouths, think again. If there is mischief to be had they will find it.
Had a poor blackbird fly into the window last week and what happens they retrieve it for me.
I'll be glad when they calm down a bit, but they are so lovable.

This is Skye now awake, with Amber elsewhere.

they are beautiful

So beautiful, I always think GOlden Retrievers are bigger in general than Labradors, I love Retrievers but no more dogs just yet!!! I wonder if there are chocolate or brown Retrievers?

What a gorgeous photo of them all.

I hate to disillusion you about the calming down - it happens around 15 years old  

And they are retrievers cos it's us that retrieve. With mine, socks, undies and balls of wool from the garden

Ummm, think about it - G O L D E N ??  Retrievers? 

Labradors should be 21.5 to 22.5 inches, Retrievers should be 20 to 24 inches - only dogs are bigger, bitches can be smaller than labs.

You can get Flat-Coated Retrievers, also beautiful and friendly, in black and I think chocolate But that might not be helping with your 'no more dogs' resolution Sandy 

[Sandy]

Jay kay, that is what I meant, for example we have a Yellow Lab AND a Black Lab AND a Chocolate lab, so did wonder if Retrievers come in different colours, someone I know has a Flat coated one and of course the cruffts winner, I would love to see a chocolate one but I bet it's not called chocolate maybe "Brown" like Labs are not Golden but Yellow!! Glad some one understands me , anyway....I would love one!

Talking of liver, in the toy shops there is a Sylvanian Family of 'chocolate dalmatians'.  Now everyone should know the brown and white ones are LIVER!!...

[Sandy]

I bet its a marketing ploy as parents know thier kids don't like liver but love chocolate!!!!  Anyway, I did not know you could get Liver Dalmations either!!!!!!
