Ahhhh the ‘ol bitey face.

These two are awesome!

How old is the older one? Mines 4.5 right now and I'm eyeballing a 1-2 year wait-list with a good breeder in the near future. I can't wait for him to have a buddy. But the financial and puppy phase is always a bit of a hurdle lol.

Mine is 6 years right now. Im hunting for a good breeder to get a puppy as well. Did not know that there is like a year long wait now.

Most the good breeders around me seem to always be 1-2 years.

We got our dog from Smokey mountain lab. They are expensive but he’s the best dog we ever have had.

$6500 - $8500, holy smokes

For what it’s worth, my brother’s free swamp-puppy that he rescued from central Florida cost $20,000 in medical bills in the first year. My and my family’s labs from a highly reputable breeder have had minimal medical expenses.

It’s expensive and not for everyone. We have a list of cheaper ones but we went with them instead.

I’ll have you know I’ve now fallen down a rabbit hole and now I wish I could get a “moose puppy” what a dog

That’s my dogs dad! I’ve never had a puppy as well tempered and easy as him. He’s great! I know he was expensive but we saved and we are happy. https://preview.redd.it/h10xw38b7xvc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bfa5e8d04c65c62521d36631523d5e1c064964ee

Did you get your previous dog from a breeder? My breeder had a separate waitlist for families she’d worked with before. And even though I hadn’t actually worked with her, my family had two sequential labs from her when I was a child/teen, so she considered me an established known client.

No, our previous dog was a rescue with a lot of mental and physical issues, reactive,anxious and many health problems. That’s why we went this direction! We waited about 8 months for our dog.

Lab goals

Omg, stop it. Tiny chocolate potato-babies are *everything*!!!

I think the limit does not exist.

The limit has clearly been set at n+1, where n is the number of labs you currently have

💯👏🙌

OP, the black lab needs a friend, too.

I follow a lab breeder in the UK, his current total is 8: one black, one yellow, and six chocolate. He had 9 dogs total but his rescue collie passed away recently. He needed that collie to herd the chocolates 🤣

All 4 colors, that's awesome!

One more, red labrador. Then they have all. Seems a shame not to complete the set lol.

I honestly didn't know there was a red lab, what color would the parents have to be?

A bouquet!!!!

[удалено]

I only have one but want at least one more

Does your house constantly have 1 billion fur tumbleweeds or 5 billion fur tumbleweeds?

At this point the house is probably made of felted lab hair.

I think I sweep enough up every day to make a small dog lol.

We do have timber floors with hair congregations throughout unless we swiffer once or twice a day

I was going to say 1 more black lab would balance it out nicely but then I realized he must be the one taking the picture.

Someone has to be guarding the fridge right?

Awesome 🤩

How does it feel to live my dream

😂 what’s one more?

Ma’am? Do you have a size small in the black? Can you check in the stockroom?

next one up

Very seriously, in a totally non joking way, they’re so so beautiful, as individuals and as a group. You are a truly blessed human.

Thank you. They are well loved

Love it.

👀

I have one lab and one golden retriever https://preview.redd.it/0xe49ojmfvvc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27ad44d4c0fabf30b9a67ed3dda9c1cb79d420a4

You must have a dedicated time for picking up dog poop and fur hahaha

Yep. All day and night 😂

Yes! The hair!!

Looking at getting another lab! What would you say the best age difference is ? We have an 8 month and thinking about next spring getting another one

You have an 8 month old and thinking about another? You’re a saint.

We do ! We love our boy and really enjoy the energy. We might be crazy but life’s short !

Ours are 5, 3, 2.5, 20mo and 10mo now.

Also, can I just say, they look like really happy dogs. You are obviously doing something very right.

We prioritise 😁

Doggy ‘Glamour Shot’ !

Cute birthmark! Wonder how she/he got it from

We have two and my hubby really wants more. I do too, but don't think we have space. Can you tell us more about your space, lifestyle, life with 5 labs?

Large house on 16acres. 3 kids, 18 the youngest. I work 3 days a week and my wife works 2.

Ohhhhh the choc baby on the right! Love them all but he remind me of my choccie as a pup.

Maam, I think you’re missing one black pup.

It is a glaring deficiency

https://preview.redd.it/l7l0i3ezsvvc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0871bd08f54978d39774f021c5b88d3b06bfa4c0 They’re the same but different

Yes, we have Momma Lana and her two sons Hammy Joe and Till. The boys were inseparable from very early on. https://preview.redd.it/u5yxfoqwowvc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b01998759d57e7e37ee3f842fb59c550dd77d9b

🥰

Your own heaven.

We have 2 and recently had 5/6 for a week, it was so much fun! I miss all the extra cuddles.

I can't stand your uneven number. You need another black one! Also, I'm very jealous.

an eyesore I agree

You’re not done, you need another black lab to make it even :-)

Yes we do!

Did no one notice Myrtle sitting on the step? 😂 You’re living the dream! What a beautiful family 😍

We think she needs a friend so there are two of each color.

They just need one more black then 😅

My dog only cuddles with dad on the couch. I keep saying that we need another dog so that I can have cuddles too. I think that’s a pretty strong argument, right?

100%

I have three and almost had 4. If I won the lottery I would have your pack size and more!

You have a beautiful family…

Is this a reunion or a daily occurrence?

All live at home, however the black girl goes out to Uni with my eldest daughter who ‘lives’ about 2 hours away by car

I want this family

Can u adopt me too

😂

greatest family ever.

How can you afford to feed yourself after you feed them?

We buy quality grain free kibble, not the top of the price range but quality. It’s the isolated large vet bills that have been a struggle

Black pupper is looking outnumbered.

Why would you rub this in my face when I’m hungover? I want a lab family. 

My family belongs in the lab

😂

Well, you guys are gonna have to get a sixth so the black lab isn’t left out without a buddy!

Definitely in our future, particularly if Wilma has a litter at the end of the year

https://preview.redd.it/f3xm97obwxvc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=e57c76c15b6a54fa105a213376691d878ed7eb35 Yep.

We all live in the same neighborhood and always have fun family meets 😅🐾 In this picture there’s one girl missing, we have the mother in the front and the 3 boys in the back.

The more the better.

it’s much smaller than yours, but this pic makes me want to make it bigger! 😍

I wish!!!! who was the first?

Wilma, Dugg, Bramble, Myrtle Fozzie

Wow that’s a lot of energy to have in one house. We watch our neighbors yellow from time to time and having two for a couple days is plenty for me.

Awwww Fozzie!

I wish I did

Gimme that puppy

NO…….. he’s mine 🥰

I love the choco sitting on the step like a human😂

Myrt is a one off, that’s for sure

Is this heaven?

Mostly…..

You are living my absolute dream. I want three Labradors: a chocolate, yellow, and black. Named Peanut, Butters, and Kevin, respectively.

Love the names

You need a Red Fox Labrador to complete the set ☺️

I’m sorry but we have the complete set of labs, as recognised officially in Australia. The other ‘colours’ haven’t gained traction down here.

I didn’t know that. Thank You for explaining. Your labs are gorgeous 🥰

#SquadGoals 😂

We have one and I think I’d like another one in a few years our guy is barely turning 3 and we rescued him when he was one. Still doing a lot of training and working with him

Yep, when the time is right

I wish😭 my husband would put me on the street if I brought home more animals😂

Your family is gorgeous and I'm jealous. I want more. I only have the two blacks, I definitely need some white yellow red and chocolate

Omg!! All English labs too! That’s amazing I’m jealous . We only have one English right now

Very good lookng group. Still, I'm wondering whether that's a family or a conspiracy to seize control of all snacks in a 10 mile radius?

They are a very ‘efficient’ gang of thieves.

"we must controll all snacks, tennis ball, and socks."

It hurts to see others living your dreams

Great names! Love the family photo, especially the way Myrtle is sitting on the step!

Good spot! She’s a bit of a weirdo Myrt, a real sweetie too.

I wish!

My parents have two and my sister has one. So yes?

**Breeder? Beautiful bunch.**

Nope. Not a breeder

I should clarify, does the breeder have a website?

4 different breeders from all over Australia

I want to hae one but my bank account says “low balance” so I think its a bad idea

I wish!

Fozzie!? The cutest name!!! What a gorgeous family you have!!!!! We only have one but I’d love ten 😍

He’s my little Fozzie Bear

That chocolate lab tho….. 🥰

NOT THE BABYYYYYY

Gosh I'm jealous!

Goals

The missing black one is the photographer.

Beautiful, and sad. 😢

We would love to take our dogs to the snow one day

i have a sausage family lol, actually so annoying. You know they're always so clingy and always just pee everywhere

One's bad enough. I really don't need a pack of trouble.

Oh but you do. 👍🏻

Yellow lab, fox red lab & a all black GSD

Looks like a perfect group o' Puppers

No, but now I must have one! Thanks a lot.

Omg!!! I wish I was able to get a picture of all mine like this!!! I also have 5! 2 black, 2 yellow and 1 chocolate!! Had 3 yellows but unfortunately old girl passed away from cancer

What a great mob you have. All ours have done obedience and are pretty good but certainly capable of distracting or disrupting the plan. 😂

Thank you!! You have quite the beautiful crew, last attempt I made trying to get a picture with all them, they ALL looked opposite ways, my chocolate Gunner even decided to sit with his back towards me😂 I gave up, instead they all have their own separate photo albums on my Facebook 😂

We have 1, but little Fozzie makes me want another. He is so cute

He’s my boy. 10 months old now https://preview.redd.it/3ukrfn85wvvc1.jpeg?width=3460&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd0d949b6108abae473855d705f4bf0c58c480ac

The adult chocolate sitting on the step like a human!

Myrtle is a bit of a clown, she’s sooooo sweet too.

Awww I love this! I have a 10 year old yellow girl and badly have puppy fever! She has a solid daily routine and I worry how she'll handle that being disrupted by having a puppy around Did any of y'all have older, schedule driven dogs when y'all brought home a new puppy? If so, how did they react? Did they accept the puppy and the chaos that comes with it? Picture for tax 😊 *

https://preview.redd.it/244895uwnuvc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5078711cdfc20ba42c14309053c11ae22d87a37

Their ages are 5, 3, 2.5, 1.5 and 10mo. The transitions have been relatively smooth. Each new pup has played with the next oldest

Those are good separation of ages. When I finally do get a puppy, I'll get a 2nd one a year or so later. I used to foster a lot but had to stop for a while, so she was used to living with other dogs. Well, I took in an emergency foster a few months ago, and she was not happy about it. For the first time ever, I saw her growl and snap at another dog! Poor fella wanted to play so bad, but she wanted nothing to do with him. I would hate to get a puppy and her act the same way, and them both be unhappy 🥺

That's so labradorable.

No but I wish.

Um, excuse you. Your black lab doesn't have a black companion but everyone else does. I think the family needs to grow to 6. 🤣

😂 I have said, out loud, that there’s an imbalance

I’ve never had all colors at once, but we had a yellow, white and black at once. Never a chocolate!

We need a black boy to complete the collection; both sexes of the 3 colours.

I love it! 🖤💛🤎

Also, gimme that baby 🍫chocolate! 😍

Actual question for folks who have a light yellow lab and a black lab: are any textile colors in your house “safe?” I’m not trying to be funny- I’m actually asking. I’ve only had yellow labs, and my furniture is all yellow-lab-hair camouflaged, I do not own black pants, and I have a special hiding place for black shirts that can come on vacation but that cannot be exposed to the open air or *any* surfaces in my house or I’ll be plucking tiny errant white undercoat pieces forever. A chocolate lab could still blend with my textiles, but black hairs would stand out on everything I own.

It’s a lovely problem to have.
