I love the name Beau! But our very good friend has a black lab named Bo!

I thought of a super cute name last night.........ACE.

What do yall think?

I like Ace. You could put goggles and a scarf on him when you're riding in your convertable. So cool!!

I think we're going to go with Lamar. That is what my hubby REALLY wants to name him. And since this is "his" dog, I think I will just go with whatever he likes.

Our first dog was an Irish golden lab I wanted a yorkie but hubby wanted the manley dog so KIM the lab arrived and we had 16 brilliant years with him he went all over with us as hubby was in the army. His best time was in Cyprus as he loved swimming.
When he passed I got my Yorkie, now Rob has passed I thought hubby would go for another manley lab but no he wants a yorkie as I am not ready for another yet he is trying to brib me and say I can have two. So as far as he is concerned Yorkies Rule!!
P.S. What is the differance between an American and Englis Lab?

Their build for one thing, but also their temperment. Rebecca will probably be able to tell you more when she is on.

American Labradors are smaller and skinnier and are bred for hunting purposes. Because they are hunters, they tend to be more hyper and wound up. Here is a pciture:

British/English Labradors are generally bred for showing purposes. You will not see an American Labrador in a dog show...only British ones. Because they are not "hunters," they tend to be more laid back. They are much more stout than American Labradors. Here is a picture:

Thanks for that Rebeca my lab was certainly an English one like your picture but more golden. Had such a good temperment he was 8 when my son was born, I was a little worried how he would take to a baby but they turned out to be the best of pals if I let him cry our dog would come and paw me until I went to pick him up.

AWWWW! That is the sweetest thing, ever! I am reading Marley & Me right now and Marley was so good with the couple's children. I hope my little puppy is as good to my yorkies as yours was to your son!

I am sure he will be, we also brought a kitten in to the house and they ended up sleeping together for years, used to have to keep the cat in the house when we took the dog for a walk or he would come to.
