I've tried several times with the same results. Could be me. |

One of his toys a few years ago was a yellow soft rubber chicken that squeaked. When my wife brought it home I said that it wouldn't last 20 minutes. It finally fell apart from being baked in the sun. He could pick it up and bring it to you without it squeaking, and if I squeaked it he acted like I was hurting it. When I give him a treat or even a chunk of meat, he gently takes it in his mouth, walks out to the yard, spits it out unharmed, then looks around before he eats it. He would have been a good bird dog, but he hates loud noises. I suspect that's why he was dumped in our neighborhood when he was about a year old. |

Deuce is gentle until he decides he is going to destroy something. He has one of those rubber chickens he got almost a year ago and it still squeaks but any kind of stuffed squeaker ends up being a pile of fuzz on the floor pretty fast and he just carries the squeaker part around playing a tune. I call them land mines because that is what it seems like when you are walking around trying to be quiet in the dark and step on one. |

He will know when the first raccoon walks through his yard. I imagine "treeing" cats will be fun for her too. Deuce is a retriever, he brings me stuff that is totally uninjured but a redbone is a hunting dog. Critters may get a little more banged up if Koko grabs them. My black lab Buddy is like that. One of his toys a few years ago was a yellow soft rubber chicken that squeaked. When my wife brought it home I said that it wouldn't last 20 minutes. It finally fell apart from being baked in the sun. He could pick it up and bring it to you without it squeaking, and if I squeaked it he acted like I was hurting it. When I give him a treat or even a chunk of meat, he gently takes it in his mouth, walks out to the yard, spits it out unharmed, then looks around before he eats it. He would have been a good bird dog, but he hates loud noises. I suspect that's why he was dumped in our neighborhood when he was about a year old. The mother of Koko was dumped in NC. Could be for the same reason. |

If he heard a bang he was standing right next to you. That was how I called him when he wandered off in the scrub. One of those tiny little bottle rockets that come in the 72 pack would bring him back from wherever he wandered off too. I think Ed might have been from the service dog side of the breed, just based on how he acted. |

I know Buddy came up limping twice in years 2-3, and the vet said his hips were good but the knees can be a problem. Anti-inflammatory meds got him through it, and he's calmed down enough now that it shouldn't be a problem again. He could get crazy playing fetch back in the day. After a couple of tosses he'd decide to do some full-speed figure 8's around the yard. That's what got him both times. My lab tore her CCL and had to be operated on. My next door neighbor's lab is extremely obese. I would be worry about her CCL's also. But, they continue to overfeed it. I was pretty happy that Ed never had any of those problems and he was a big lab (110-115 pounds) Deuce weighs almost that much but he is 3" taller, at least. That is why I really wanted the DNA test. I think he is not as pure as his papers would indicate. I am going to go through some old pictures one of these days and see if I can find a few with Ed standing next to something I can measure because we never really measured him when he was alive. He did look more like a traditional lab than Deuce. Deuce is 28-29" at the shoulder. |

With a dog, it's the cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) not the anterior cruciate ligament as it is with football players. Same ligament though. No wonder dogs get confused. Cranial should be in the brain, not the knee. ? It's in the stifle. |

Here's a good description of the CCL and problems associated therewith: http://marionvet.net/img/pdf/surgery1.pdf Note the comment about which breeds are 'predisposed'. My lab tore her CCL jumping up to catch a frisbee. Now I will try to make sure the frisbee hits the ground so the dog doesn't jump. My pointer tore her right one while roughhousing with the neighbor's lab. Didn't see it, but she came in with the right paw lifted off the ground (no weight at all). Often a good sign. Within a couple months she tore the left CCL jumping up when a friend came over. |
