Would you say this pup has potential to be a Dudley fox red? Paws are black on pads, brown nose but no liner/pigment around eye.

Morning all Bailey is now 14 months old but now seems to be in the habit of peeing when he is allowed in a shop or the local pub etc. He never wees at home but seems to have to mark his territory in the shops that are kind enough to let dogs onto the premises. Embarrased yesterday when the manager of a shop shouted across the shop at me to stop my dog or leave. tbh i hadnt noticed as was engrossed in purchasing. Bailey had been to the loo prior to going in so my assumption was he would be... Peeing in shops etc ..read more

Hello, this is my first post on here so please forgive me if this type of thing has been asked before. I have a beautiful 8 year old chocolate lab called Bailey.

I’m curious to know, in my situation, what you’d all do? Keep him downstairs indefinitely or let him use the stairs as much as he likes. P.s. Sorry for all the questions this weekend ..read more

Hi my 8 month old lab, Hector, has been sick on and off over the past week and a bit. Whenever he drinks water (not too much) it brings up his entire stomach contents. We have attempted to control his water in take as suggested by the vet, but it seems it keeps on having bad reaction with him and results in him being sick again. We’ve seen the vets 3 times now and he has had an X Ray to make sure no obvious blockage in his stomach or intestines, which seems to be ok. Even after putting him...

be that contact in the street, by email or telephone.... this will save so much heartache later when the answer is negative to any of them but you are staring at a bunch of cute pups which you REALLY want to buy.
