Helegant Jul 2019 6:44pm, 2 Jul 2019 6,343 posts	Quote Pin Helegant We went out for lunch today and took the dog with us. Two people, separately, called him 'puppy'. He's 7, but seemed quite happy with the compliment

FergusG Jul 2019 8:25pm, 2 Jul 2019 3,176 posts	Quote Pin FergusG Hmmm. My brown lab retained a puppy mentality for her whole life! You won’t see one working as a guide dog . Wouldn’t have wanted her any other way though .

LazyDaisy Jul 2019 9:40pm, 2 Jul 2019 27,165 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy When we first got a dog we were told black Labs were cleverer than yellows. I can say from having owned three blacks, that is a load of nonsense

Mazlin Jul 2019 9:59pm, 2 Jul 2019 6,858 posts	Quote Pin Mazlin There is something about colour with Brittanys - something like there aren't separate show and working types and people who show want to breed out black and people who have working lines don't care about colour. Rory (ginger roan) is of course mad as a box of frogs, but I think that's normal for Brittanys of whatever colour.
