Labrador Retriever Puppies Blog

Labrador Retrievers are well-balanced, friendly and versatile breed, and they are adaptable to a wide range of functions as well as making very good pets. This breed is not prone to being territorial, insecure, pining, aggressive, destructive or hypersensitive. Labradors enjoy holding objects in their mouth and hands with great gentleness, they can even carry an egg in their mouth without breaking it. they can be a very good family pet and when trained and socialized in a proper way, they can be good companions even to kinds.

Although they cannot be left with kids alone, especially when they are not full trained yet, you can still make the kids enjoy the Labrador’s companionship by using R & M Cookie Cutter when baking cookies for them. Decorate your cookies with royal icing to make them enjoy it more. Labrador Retrievers are fun-loving and very athletic, you can make them enjoy the same cookies or use it as a reward for them when they are undergoing training.

This is the story of my yellow Labrador Retriever puppy, Cooper.  He lives with us in West Hollywood, California and is of Sandylands decent.  We got Cooper when he was just 8 weeks from a breeder near Palmdale, who told us his brothers and sisters are frequently used in TV commercials and movies.  He’s now 5 months old and weighs over 50lbs.  Judging by the gasps of everyone who meets him and sees his puppy paws, he’s going to be a big dog, at least 100lbs+

This is Cooper at 8 weeks when we brought him home.

Here’s Cooper enjoying his first swimming lesson in a friend’s pool at 9 weeks.

Cooper at 10 weeks – look at the size of those paws!

The cutest Labrador puppy in the world at 11 weeks (and one of my favourite puppy pictures).

Cooper on his first ‘unofficial’ walk (before his final injections, which is 16 weeks here in California, compared to some other States where it’s as little as 12 weeks).

Getting stronger (by lifting weights?) at 13 weeks.

Bath time for Cooper at 14 weeks – he loves the water.

Cooling off on our air vent at 15 weeks.  He’s not a big fan of the L.A. sunshine!

At play with his favourite rawhide bone at 16 weeks – great for when he’s teething.

At 17 weeks Cooper has his first visit to the beach at Sycamore Cove in Ventura County and makes a big splash in the Pacific Ocean.

Getting used to his crate at 18 weeks.

At 19 weeks, as mischievous and adorable as ever.

At 5 months, looking more like a proud dog and starting to lose his fluffy puppy features a bit.

We’re in the midst of puppy training at the moment, learning to sit (which he does well) and walk on the leash properly (not so well).  He’s such an adorable and affectionate puppy we can’t imagine life without Cooper now.

To follow Cooper’s on-going misadventures visit him at Jason in Hollywood

MY HEART BELONGS TO MY LABRADOR RETRIEVERS

Labrador Retrievers
Share my life,
A beauty of a breed-
Courageous and protective,
Yet gentle as can be.

Active dogs that love to play,
With friendly, loving ways-
Sure to fill the house with fun,
And brighten all my days.

My Labrador Retrievers
Are friends that can’t be beat,
Being loved by these big “Labs”
Makes my life complete.

I find one of the nicest things apart from reading up on Labrador Retreivers, is to scout the net for photos of them. Of course, one can always go to google; type in Labrador and click on images. But I came upon an awesome blog, that is dedicated ONLY to collecting the nicest, cutest and funniest photos of Labradors. “Labster” is a great blog, if you are also into looking at other labrador pics. I love it…and can warmly recommend it.
