AMEN! Best dogs i`ve ever had.
Just lost my girl recently. I won`t be getting another dog. The loss of my last girl took to much out of me.
At my age, another dog will outlive me. I don`t want to leave a best friend behind, for someone else to not love it like i would.
I am 82, and my Sadie (avatar) will be 4 years old in July.
I do expect her to outlive me, but if not, I would absolutely look for a "used" Lab......as long as I can still walk.
We adopted a 3-1/2 year old "used" Lab a few years ago, and as Labs always are, he was a delightful boy.
We found that oh so sweet guy, through Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida (LRROF), and that is where I shall search again, if need be.
LROOF is a wonderful non profit, that I now donate to.
