I cannot believe Lamar is already 3 months old! My my my...where has the time gone??? He is such a joy. I will admit that it was rough in the beginning...never underestimate the stress of owning a lab puppy. However, one good thing about labs vs. yorkies is that they are SUPER easy to potty train! I think Lamar only had 8-10 accidents in the house before he "got it." It only took about 2 weeks max.
I just sent in his registration papers to the AKC. We decided on "Oakdales Man in Black." Hubby and I are both big Johnny Cash fans and we thought the name was fitting. "Oakdale" is the kennel name from where we got him...it was required on his papers.
Hubby and I have decided to wait until he is 1-2 years old (when he is full grown) to get him neutered. After an extensive talk with my vet about it, we decided that since he is SOOO laid back and submissive and calm, there is good chance that he may never mark or hump, no matter what age he is neutered. AND I am seriously considering the possibility of showing him, for which he will need his "manhood." So, we'll see how it goes....the day he starts marking, it will be off with his balls!
We took Lamar to our friend's farm this weekend on Lookout Mountain in Georgia. He was REALLY in his element there. I took some nice pictures of him. This little (or BIG rather...he's about 25-30lbs now) boy is what has been taking up all my time lately. He is the reason that I am just now coming back to 4WT after a leave of absence. But I love him. He is going to be a GREAT dog.
