No other pets.

Yes, we raised Oscar from 8 weeks old.

We lost our wonderful yellow lab Oscar to old age in December 2018,. We are finally recovered from that experience and ready for a new puppy.

We don’t have a vet right now, because we don’t have another pet. We took Oscar to Aloha Pet & Bird Hospital here in Indian Harbour Beach, FL. We’ll likely use them again. You’re welcome to contact them at 321-777-6444

I am a stay at home mom and will be home with and caring for our puppy during the day. My husband and our kids will be chipping in with feeding and walks.

We will find a training class. I trained Oscar, but that was years ago and he was so easy to train that I’m pretty sure I need a refresher.

At night he’ll sleep in his crate in our bedroom. He’ll sleep in his crate during the day too. At the beginning, we might move his crate to the family room during the day to keep an eye on him while he’s sleeping.

1 cat- age 8

Yes.

We have had a lab our whole lives, they’re full of love, activity and snuggles! The best family dog.

3 y.o. Cat

I have raised just the one, but my wife has had Labs since she was a kid.

My wife and I think that Labradors make the best family dogs. We were lucky enough to have Beaugh (pronounced Bo), our Black Lab, for 12 years. He grew up with our kids as they grew up. They are loving, loyal dogs, and having a puppy would complete our family.

Dr. Tom Cox (Timuquana Animal Hospital)
5273 Timuquana Rd, Jacksonville, FL 32210
(904) 779-0311

My wife will be at home during the day and will be able to care for the dog.

We will probably crate train the puppy, and also take him to a standard command training class.

During the day, I assume he would sleep on a dog bed or in a crate. At night, i would assume the same.

No

Yes – family dogs

My boyfriend and I have grown up with family dogs both small and medium sized and loved every minute of it. The last few years our family has gravitated towards labradors and we have grown to prefer these larger more energetic labs. Chocolate labs we’ve recently fell in love with and we can’t wait to have one of our own!

Have not chosen a local one at this time

During the day my boyfriend will be working from home – so our little guy will have a companion around almost the entire day. Playing with, walking, and loving him until I get home and can cuddle and play with him until we fall asleep

We will give him positive reinforcements with treats and lots of love and encouragement when he does something right and will see how he best learns. Not giving treats if he does something he’s not supposed to. We are open to training suggestions but may hire a trainer if it becomes difficult to tell him no

In the beginning we will most likely try to crate train him, allowing him to learn to sleep through the night alone until he is potty trained. We will have beds for him in our room and the living room etc. for during the day and when he gets old enough to choose to sleep around us (or until and if he decides to sleep in the bed with us lol)

Most likely crate

No

Yes I got my lab when he was 8 weeks old.

My lab passed away a couple of years ago at 11 years old from cancer. He was the best dog in the world and I miss him dearly. I want my daughter to know that same love!

No I do not have a veterinarian anymore.

The puppy would be taken care of by me or my husband. We have opposite work schedules on purpose to not hace to put our daughter in daycare.

I plan to attend the puppy trading courses in petco which I did with my lab.

Inside the house.

Currently, there are no pets in the home. My wife is getting a female fawn Boston Terrier soon so they can be brothers and sisters for years. Both will be puppies when we get them so they will grow together.

Both mixed breed girls were very young puppies when we got them. The three greyhounds were 2, 2, and 3 years old when they were rescued.

In the past 25 years, my ex wife and I have had two mixed breed very young puppies that were cared for indoors and very well cared for by regular checkups by a veterinarian in Augusta, GA then in Boca Raton, FL. They got regular checkups and teeth cleaning. They both lived into their mid to late teens. We also adopted three rescue greyhounds and gave them all a life they never knew existed. They were always well cared for both in our home and by veterinarians.

We divorces four years ago, and she took and still cares for the greyhounds back in GA. I go visit them every trip I take to visit my family.

As a child (through to adulthood), our home had a yellow lab named “Sport”. He was the kindest and most loving dog I’ve ever known. He loved running around on our farm. Unfortunately, he was bitten by a rattlesnake while traipsing through the woods. By the time we discovered it had happened, it was too late for the vet to save him.

I’m currently 58 years old and recently re married. My new mother in law has moved into our home as well (after months of begging her to do so.)

I would LOVE to have a Golden Labrador to love and play with. He would be happy and loved and would be free to run, fetch, and play in our large, fenced back yard when not going for a leashed walk in our gated community.

As I don’t currently have a pet, I don’t have a veterinarian. The one we had saw our girls often enough that they knew their names on-sight. I will select the same or one closer to my current residence in Delray Beach, FL after researching their education. Auburn and University of Georgia produce some of the best veterinarians. I’ll only select a vet from one of those two universities.

My mother in law is always home. My wife and I have divergent and often opposing schedules which results in one or both of us being home simultaneously. There will be a well organized and constant adult presence in our home, all three of us will care for our babies.

We always trained our girls by allowing them to be themselves and gently (vocally only) let them know when they were doing something wrong. I’ve read that obedience trainers are good options but plan on studying that further before making that decision. I would also welcome any and all advice you can provide. He will not be a “working” dog but will instead be a part of our family.

Always indoors and wherever he chooses whether it’s on the sofa, love seat, or round doggie bed on the living room and master bedroom floors. Our home is nearly 3,000 sq ft with a large fenced yard. As weather permits, he will sometimes nap in the grass by my hammock or even on the hammock with me.

At night, he/they will sleep on the doggie beds next to our bed.

1cat. Cody. He is 14. He’s very young for his age.

Gracie was 5 months when we got her

Yes! VCA animal hospital on Cleary in Plantation.
Dr Baumwell

I do not work. I am home most each and every day

I had a trainer for Gracie. I took her to the park for classes. I would look to see if the trainer is still in business

I plan to crate her in the beginning and eventually she would be allowed to sleep wherever she would prefer. Gracie had 3 beds. The new puppy would have new everything. Not looking to replace Gracie.

We have 2 cats Lucy who is 12 yrs. old and Gracie who is 6yrs. old.

Yes. Our last dog Maximus we had for 15yrs until he passed this last February. I had him since he was 4 months old. I got him from a homeless lady looking for a good home for him. He was a Lab/boxer mix. He was the best dog ever. I miss having a dog around the house

They are great family dogs also I had one when I was little and she was a great dog her name was Molly. I also would like my 2 yr old son have a best friend to grow up with.

Yes Doctor Maria Lowry at Chasewood Animal Hospital in Jupiter, FL

During the Day Both my wife and I will be home to care for him and from 3pm to 10pm my Mother in Law is at our house

In my experience I would train using dog training treats or a tennis ball. My dog Max was able to do numerous tricks not only by vocal commands but I could do hand signals with him as well.

Inside. We would normally put our old dogs bed in our bedroom and another in the living room. But when he was a puppy he had his own crate

No

Yes

Companion

Whatever makes him more comfortable I am open

Cat – 3 months

We have not had puppies in our adult lives.

My husband and I grew up with dogs. He had a black lab named Bubba, and I had a golden named Maggie. We believe dogs add happiness and adventure to a family. We love animals (just adopted a kitten), and we look forward to having a dog companion for years to come. We want a sweet tempered dog that is good with children, as we plan to start in the next year or so.

Yes – Silver Bluff Animal Clinic in Miami, FL. Hamilton Brinn is our kitten’s name.

My husband and I have the ability to work from home or to be flexible with our work-from-home schedule.

We plan to take the puppy to training classes and potential hire a 1:1 trainer to help us when we get started. To us, training needs to be consistent and followed by both owners.

We have a kitchen, and we’ll probably put up a baby fence rather than crating the dog. Depending on your/vet’s advice, we may crate, but I prefer when dogs get comfortable with their surroundings. We are open to crating if the vet/breeder recommend it.

No

Yes of our previous Labs were adopted when they were 10 – 14 weeks old.

Love the breed, we have had 2 in the past 17 years. We just had to put down our Chocolate this week who was fighting cancer since this past March.

We recently moved to FL so we do not have a local Vet. We have a Vet that we used in New Jersey that we could provide you with all of their information.

Myself and my Wife.

Puppy training and basic obedience.

Our last two labs took over our bed room, so I’m sure it will be the same

13 yr old yellow lab

Yes. I am a vet tech

I have a 13 year old lab now that is doing wonderful and want to add to the family.

Dr. Schneider Fort Lauderdale animal hospital

Puppy will be cared for by me. Self employed from home.

I will crate train my puppy when I leave the house, which isn’t too often. Aside from that my puppy will be cage free.

Cage free

No current pets

Yes over the years 2

Love dogs and have always wanted a lab. Have always liked their temperament and personality.

Currently do not have a veterinarian but will use the same vet my husband has for years when we bring a dog home.

Work remotely so puppy will be cared for daily. Someone will be home. Will also crate train for when we aren’t home.

Will train at local dog training school.

While home crate will open if puppy wants to sleep in crate or puppy can sleep in a dog bed we’ll provide.

No

When I was 11 years old. Many years ago, a neopolitan mastiff.

We would love one to be my son’s best friend.

Not yet

My husband and myself will care for the puppy. My husband is working from home and I work when my son is in school.

We have videos and we plan to train him together with a trainer.

In my home

I have a Jack Russell that is 10 years old. I recently lost my Yellow Lab of 11 years.

Yes. I have had a dog in the family since I was a teenager. I am now 73 years young and going strong.

I have owned two and they are the perfect addition to any family. They are intelligent, sociable, and loyal.

Yes. Mark Degrove Peace River Veterinary Clinic 327 Cross St. Punta Gorda,FL 33950 941-205-5400

My wife and I are both retired. Either one or both of us will be home.

Basic obedience training, patience and positive reinforcement.

We have a crate and will crate train.

No.

Yes. We raised a female cane corso named Nica. She was the light of our life. Sadly we had tp put her down in 2019 when she was 9.5 years old. It broke our hearts and we have waited until now for another puppy. Our new homeowners association does not allow mastiffs so we have been looking at labs.

My wife and I have always admired labs and we love their disposition.

We used Cole animal clinic for Nica’s entire life. They are located on Federal Highway in East Boca. You’re welcome to contact them.

My wife works Monday through Thursday from 9:30 until 4. I work everyday but we both have the ability to work from home. In addition, my office is less than 10 minutes from home. We will have no trouble caring for her!

We used group classes with Nica combined with private training. It went well and we expect to do the same this time.

In the house. She will be a complete house dog.

No pets currently

Yes many

I have had labs my entire life. A chocolate male named Mocha, a yellow female named Sonny and a black male named Spencer!! My last lab was named, Spencer, he was 15 when he had to be put down and it devastated me. I have not been able to replace him yet. My grieving was unbearable but I now want to take another dog into my life and show him all the love I can. ❤️

Not yet but will find one as soon as I need to

I will be doing the primary care giving and training and will train my son as well before he is responsible for the dogs care.

I plan to do a lot of responsible training and walking and caring for this new family member. So he can feel comfortable being out new family member!!!

Well if history repeats itself, with me! But I eill have a doggy bed available

Yes. A Pomeranian male that is 7 years old and a male Pug that is 10 years old.

Yes

The temperament of the Labrador based on the research we’ve done would be a good fit with our family and existing dogs.

Yea, Coral Springs Animal Hospital

We have three adults in the house and there is usually an adult home at all times based on our work schedules.

By spending lots of time working with the puppy on commands, ensuring the puppy gets lots of daily exercise, learns the routine around the home and constants positive reinforcement. Limit the time alone during the day.

We plan on crate training and will have a bed in our bedroom.

2 Cats (2,7)
Guinea pig

No. I was a child when I had puppies and my parents “raised them”, we have waited until all our kids were older to get a dog.

My father is a retired veterinarian and I have grown up hearing what great dogs labs are. We are wanting a dog to raise from puppyhood to be the new member of our family.

Yes. Faithful Friends Animal Hospital:239-692-6001

I am a stay at home mom and will be with the puppy all day, taking him outside (fenced yard), playing, starting training, and cuddling! Kids will be here after school. 3 and 5 year old will be with me too.

Crate train gradually…give him comfort objects… don’t close door until he has made a positive association/put food in there. Don’t rush and act upbeat. Housebreak… take him out every few hours… and after he eats…. Use words “go potty”, be excited when he does his business. Etc… we also may go to obedience classes as he gets older. I will also refer to my veterinarian father/books/trusted internet sites.

Probably in crate with his/her blankets in our bedroom so I can check on him/her and know if she/needsto go out. As the puppy is housebroken and older, doggy bed in our bedroom or in crate if that is where he likes. Will also have puppy monitor.

We have fish

Yes

Our favorite dog breed.

No at the moment

By me. I work from home

Well on pass experience our dogs has been trained by us. Now I don’t know if I will need a professional to train this one but we will if we need to. I guess it will depend.

My wife is a stay at home Mom. I work as a boat Captain here in Palm Beach. Dog will stay in our house and be very well cared for.

I have always use a crate for potty training a puppy. I will also take puppy to classes with our family to help leash training, etc.

Our bedroom or sons room. Where puppy feels comfortable.

Yes, I have a Toy poodle at about 10 lbs and he is 4 years old.

Yes

I have always wanted a Lab since I was a little girl. labs are very loving and energetic dogs and also very good with family.

In the bed with my boyfriend and I, or in his crate in his bed.

Apollo, yellow lab, male, approx 7 years old

yes

We love the temperament of the labs & currently have a yellow lab that we adopted 4 years ago

yes, East Coast Veterinary Services. 772-589-8387

I work for myself and am in and out all day. The puppy will be crate trained and have ample time playing in our fenced in back yard throughout the day.

crate trained for peeing/pooping, treats for good behavior, and lots of chew tous

In a crate, in our dining room

One cat 14 years old. She stays outside most of the time.

Are dogs we lost were 11, 13 and 18. We lost them all in one year and 9 months. We have no dogs left .

We had one and we just love them.

Dr. Browns Veterinarian Clinic in Naples, Fl.

There is one of us home during the day. A couple days a week the dog may be left for 5 hours.

We have 2 and a half acres fenced in so we plan to train the dog to go outdoors. No puppy pads.

In our bedroom.

We have 3 Glofish in a tank in our kitchen up high on our buffet table.

Yes, we have raised a puppy. We had a border collie named Indy that we raised from 10 weeks on. I trained him to do all kinds of tricks and loved having him around the house with me. I have seen similarities and differences in labrador retriever puppies too. My Aunt got a black lab 1 year ago and it’s been fun hearing about Annie. My friend Brooke ‘s British Red Labrador is named Kai and my kids and I got to spend some time with him when he was a puppy, 3 years ago.

My husband and I both grew up around labrador retrievers. My Aunt Nancy has always had 1 or 2 and my sister has a chocolate lab now that is 4 months old. My husband’s close friend had a chocolate lab named Dutch and so we feel that given our family, lifestyle, and home, that a labrador retriever would be a great addition to our family. We have a fenced in yard and a pool and plan to go on long walks together through our neighborhood.

We haven’t had an animal that needed a veterinarian since we moved to Florida, almost 2 years ago. I do have one in mind though!
I’d like to use West Boca Veterinary Center off Yamato Rd. It’s close to our house, has all the services we would need and is rated well. We would use DVM Eric Haskin or DVM Gregg Kuehnell. Please feel free to contact them.

I am a stay at home mom. Therefore, I will be with our puppy all day. This family member will be my companion at home during the day and go with me as well. I love to be outdoors so we will go to the dog park and the dog beach and eventually go paddleboarding together when he’s a little older.

I will work with our puppy at home and there is also a place locally, called Petlover Central that does a lot of wonderful puppy training. I am also interested in continuing his training to become a service dog.

Our puppy would have a crate and a dog bed that would be in our main living area/family room in our home. We spend a lot of time together as a family in these areas and would like our puppy to feel that he’s a part of our family. His crate will be a positive place for him to go and he will not be kept in there but to sleep at night.

No

Yes

In 2019, our black lab, Taylor passed away. My wife and I had her since we were in college together. After a couple years of not having her around we feel the time is right for us to bring a new puppy home to grow up with our children. Our older children are eager to have a family dog.

Yes, All Creatures Animal Hospital.

I will be the primary care person during the day. I work from home and will be able to frequently take the puppy outside for potty breaks, walks, and play time. We also have a saltwater pool the puppy can enjoy. Our previous lab loved to swim in the pool. This will also be a good lesson for our children learning the responsibilities of caring for a dog and the exercise they need daily.

Crate training will be first implementation for training. Positive reinforcement for good behavior.

I assume during the day the puppy will sleep in the office with me and night in our bedroom, or perhaps one of the children’s bedrooms.

No

Yes

Lost my lab of 15 years last year and miss having a lab in the house

No

My wife and I work from home

Personal trainer in home

In the house

One female yellow lab. She is 4 years old.

Yes. We have raised our current dog since she was 6 months. And we have experience of fostering a puppy from about 10 weeks to a year and a half.

We have a yellow lab already and have a 2 year old daughter. We did our research and believe labradors to be the best breed to have as part of a family with young children.

We just moved to Port St. Lucie so are currently looking for a new vet to register with but as soon as we do we will give you the contact info!!

I will personally care for the puppy during the day. I work 2 days a week, but when I work, my husband is home taking care of our daughter so he will be with the puppy when I am at work. The puppy will not be alone.

We have had experience training dogs with Peggy Adams in west palm beach. We will use the techniques we learned with them with our new puppy.

The puppy will have its own bed in our bedroom. She may also sleep in the bed with us if that’s what she prefers.

Dog 3 years old male

Yes

Excellent reputation

Yes

Hi, the puppy will be cared for by myself and my fiancé. I work 3 days a week and he works 6-3 pm from Monday thru Friday

Group classes

Crate

4 rescue cats, 3 to 5 years old and a 11 year old Maincoone cat. My daughters have a teddy bear hampster 1 year and a Mack Snow leopard gecko whi is about 2 years old. The lizard has been to Atlanta animal hospital and one of the cats. One cat came from Southeast humane society and the baby one is a TNR outside cat, all are spayed.

Yes

I am familiar with labs and they are great family members.

I use Atlantic Animal hospital when needed.

My husbands black senior lab is his dog, he is glued to my husbands hip. He can’t go to the beach anymore bc he is elderly and can’t do the long walk.
The yellow female puppy will be mine and she will be trained to go to the beach dunes with us. During the week day my husband, after school hours our two oldest kids and weekends everyone.

I work at my local Sheriffs office so I plan to train the dog similar to a K9 to use code words and keep by my side and use hand signals.

Wherever she wants unless when we leave she may be crate trained for when we leave during her puppy times. Other than that the senior dog roams the house and she would too. We have a baby gate to block off the cat food area bc cat food is not good for dogs. She would not be giving table food either

We have one cat, 8 yrs, who was besties with our girl.
My daughter lives at Jax Beach and has a golden doodle so they will play together.

Yes, several over the years. We are both retired so our lives will center around our girl.

Lost our girl in August last year (mast cell cancer); she was 8. We are finally ready to fill the hole in our family and can’t imagine anything other than a lab!

Have used Capital Vet on Hartley Rd for surgeries (stifle) and will be using them them for well-care. 904-647-7481

As stated, we are both retired. I’m at home all day and my husband is often in his workshop a block away. Puppy will be crated for short periods during the day (shopping, etc) and at night until house-trained. Backyard is fully-fenced but she will never be left alone there; we have sitting areas with fans in both front and back so she will be my full-time companion.

Start with leash training, away from areas with other dogs until fully vaxed. No pet parks! Will probably use an e-collar when a little older to help with counter-surfing, jumping on visitors, etc. Used an in-ground fence system before and will most likely re-install in front yard. I will take her to obedience/puppy and adult classes as appropriate.

Crated initially, then on our bedroom floor, or in a bed in the living room.

No other pets in the home.

My boyfriend and I have both always had dogs in our lives. We have each helped raise puppies and take care of dogs with our families. Last year, my parents got an English Lab puppy and I was lucky enough to help train and raise him. While my boyfriend and I do not have a dog of our own in our home yet, we feel very prepared and incredibly excited to raise our new puppy.

My boyfriend and I have been waiting for the right puppy for years. We have both always had dogs in our families and are excited to get our own. My parents have 2 English Labs that are just full of life and love. Seeing how fun, loving, and intelligent labs are, we decided that a Labrador Retriever would be an amazing addition to our life. We are relaxed but love to get outside, so I think the temperament of a lab is perfect for us.

We do not currently have a veterinarian. We are fairly new to Florida but I have many friends that have dogs and have given recommendations for vets in our area.

Our puppy will be cared for by my boyfriend and me. My boyfriend works from home and will be with the puppy all day. I am currently in a graduate program and work part time, so I am home frequently. We are greatly looking forward to caring for the puppy together.

It is important to us to have a dog who listens and can be well behaved, so we know we will have to be consistent and patient with training. I want our puppy to be trained in basic commands like sit, lay down, come, stay, and drop it. I want to work with the puppy on leash training so we can take them on walks anywhere without issue. Overall, I want the puppy to feel good about listening to us.

We will have a crate in our bedroom for the puppy to sleep in at night. I want the crate to be a space where the puppy feels safe and they know they can go there when they are tired. We will also have a space in our living area for the puppy to lay/sleep during the day.

No other pets in the home.

My boyfriend and I have both always had dogs in our lives. We have each helped raise puppies and take care of dogs with our families. Last year, my parents got an English Lab puppy and I was lucky enough to help train and raise him. While my boyfriend and I do not have a dog of our own in our home yet, we feel very prepared and incredibly excited to raise our new puppy.

My boyfriend and I have been waiting for the right puppy for years. We have both always had dogs in our families and are excited to get our own. My parents have 2 English Labs that are just full of life and love. Seeing how fun, loving, and intelligent labs are, we decided that a Labrador Retriever would be an amazing addition to our life. We are relaxed but love to get outside, so I think the temperament of a lab is perfect for us.

He’s coming with to work, at office, and I will make him go out with me to do some workout

No other pets currently. We lost our dog of 13 years a little over a month ago after a battle with cancer.

I’ve raised several dogs. Most recently a lab/shepherd mix.

We live on a saltwater canal in St. Petersburg making us frequent boaters. We are interested in having an animal who loves the water as much as we do! We have a large yard with plenty of space for a dog to play. Our tightknit community is full of dog owners who frequent walks with their animals, something we miss being a part of with our dogs passing.

We used Banfield pet hospital on 3993 Tyrone Blvd N Suite 500, St. Petersburg, FL 33709 and Dr. Guzzi was our vet there.

Both my wife, Courtney and I would. I work from home and Courtney works from home part-time.

Crate training at night. Obedience training with us and we plan on hiring a professional.

During the day and when we are home in a pet bed. At night or if we are out in the crate.

1 – lab mix 9 yr old female

Yes we have raised and trained two yellow
Labs – amazing dogs. They both have passed after a long life with our family/children.

I love this breed due to their personality. Both of our labs have been amazing dogs. We have property in new Smyrna beach with a boat and our last lab loved our boat- swimming and island hopping. I also love to walk every am and that wAs our time together. She brought me her leash to walk and cuddled on the couch every night. A lab is another family member and I’m ready for another…..❤️

Dr Vizcarrondo in Oviedo.
Yes- he is our family friend and neighbor.

My husband and I both work remote from home.

I have always taken the basic/advanced training pu classes at PetSmart for socialization and basic skills. However, I think I will try to utilize a more professional trainer this time around.

Crate training at night. Kitchen is huge with tile with gates – perfect place for puppy during potty training during the day.

None

I had a childhood dog with my family, but this would be my first dog on my own.

It’s been my dream to own a lab since I was a kid. I want a dog I can be active with and have fun training.

I don’t have one yet.

My cousin works from home and will be available to take care of the pup while I am at work. (I’m a teacher)

I plan to train the puppy using positive reinforcement. I want to do whatever I can to give the dog the best and safest life! I have family that train dogs for a living, and she will definitely be helping me.

The puppy will sleep safely in a crate in my bedroom. I am open to all tips and suggestions:)

I go to work at 3…come home for dinner at 7. Go back from 9-11:30pm. I’ll have a pen initially and crate train. And eventually have the dog free in the house.

Obedience school and maybe personal trainer. I trained my last dog the same way.

Inside

We just lost our pure bred English chocolate l“Triton Boy.” He was everything to our family. We got him from a breeder/vet in Washington State. He also saired a litter with a local breeder.

Yes!!

We know how incredible labs our. Do you have room so I can attach 500 pics of his life with us! ☺️☺️

Yes,
Charlevoix Veterinary Hospital

My husband who has K-9 training will be caring for him during the day and will take our new family member with him to his part time job selling boats.

See above, my husband has K-9 training ,
Triton was a tracker and had a great nose!!

Crate training until he has mastered what he needs to.

Willow, female black lab aged 10
Toby, male black lab aged 5

yes

We adore our labs and the children have such fond memories of our dogs as puppies. We want to do it again! I have actually sometimes thought about doing breeding, so I am not sure I would rule that out, but primary purpose is a family pet.

Companion Pet Care in Fort Myers. You can contact them, but we have not lived in Fort Myers long (just a few months) so we have only made a couple of visits. We moved from Hollister, CA and the vet we used for years there was Family Pet Care. You can contact either one.

I am a stay-at-home mom, so I will take care of the puppy during the day. Also, my husband is a farmer and farms right at our house so he is around much of the day. During the summer, the kids will be around a lot too.

We will use a crate when the puppy cannot be supervised. We will house train the puppy when it is 3 or 4 months old by giving it a treat for going outside and a firm “no” for going inside. We will take it to a training class when it is old enough. This is what we did with our other labs.

In a crate in the same room with our 2 adult dogs. The room has a dog flap, so the older dogs can go out to relieve themselves any time. When the puppy is old enough we will eventually let it sleep with the crate open so he/she can get outside too.

Have one other yellow lab

Yes, 3

I love the personalities of labs. I am an avid boater and fisherman and love the passion that labs have toward swimming. The are sturdy, durable, committed, energetic and love the water more than I do. These are the traits I love most about labs. I am looking for a dark tan English lab with very sticky/bulky features. Short snout and loves the water.

Yes. Dr Randall at Big Cypress Animal Clinic. I own one of his puppies, Emma. Mayas 3rd litter. Maya has passed but David Randall still has one daughter, Emma’s sister, Marsea.

The puppy will come to the office with me or stay at home where my girlfriend works remotely full time.

I plan to train the pup daily as I have all my other dogs. Behavior and food training will be priority.

In our bed or in a crate beside our bed until she can sleep in the bed full time

No

Yes

Our family has been taking care of my grandmother with dementia and it’s brought us closer together but it still is very difficult. We all believe it will make everyone happier, including granny sue! We live on 3 acres, on Cherry lake, so we’re also hoping for a dog that enjoys water!

No

Lance Miller if no one else is available but for the majority of the time the entire family! Potty and stomach issues I, Lance will handle. My father will feed the pup in the mornings, I’ll feed in the evenings.

Ourselves if the puppy is young enough, if not then through Pet CO’s program

A comfy dog bed or where ever the puppy enjoys sleeping!

Yes, rescue dog Duchess (best dog on the planet) she will be 4 years old this month. She is a wonderful dog with lots of energy and loves all dogs big and small. When our kids come home they bring their dogs – Tyler has a 4 year old rescue dog named Theodore, and Alexis has a 2 year old rescue female silver lab named Rigly who is a dwarf and very sweet. All our pets are very social, they are used to being around lots of people and other dogs.

Yes I have raised two sets of sister Pomeranians from approx 8 weeks to their teens, my husband Ken has raised multiple lab and retrievers from puppy until their teens, and we rescued Duchess at 10 weeks.

Not doing any of the above with our dog, she will just be our very much loved family pet and a birthday present (not a surprise, we’ve been searching for a while) for my husband. We had a lab named Duke we lost unexpectedly to spleen cancer about 3.5 years ago. Ken has always had labs & retrievers, we just love the temperament and can’t wait to have another.

Dr. Wilson at Village Animal clinic – yes you may contact her.

During the day I work from home, so I will be taking care of our puppy.

We have worked with Amber and Pedro Perez of Canine and Company (recommended by our vet Dr. Chris Lapsley at the time) when we rescued Duchess. We will work with them again approximately once per week for about 10 weeks on all the basic commands.

During the day the puppy will be with me and will nap on her bed in my office, or on the couch. When she is potty trained, she will be sleeping next to Duchess in our room in her own dog bed. Until she is potty trained, she will sleep in her kennel.

1 chihuahua mix, 8 years old

Yes

We would like a large dog to protect our home. We previously had a lab and would like to have one again because of how intelligent they are.

We do but we are changing to a veterinarian in Jupiter Farms. We moved here in March.
561-799-7717

He would be cared for me, Lea Anne and my daughter Marina.

There are dog trainers here in the Farms.

During the day the puppy would sleep in the living room and my daughter’s room at night.

yes, we have one other black lab. He is six years old and his name is Louie.

Yes, my wife and I raised Louie and my family raised three other labradors when i was a kid.

We just purchased our first house as a family. Louie is getting a little older and we are really looking forward to the challenge of raising a puppy and getting him a brother to play with now that we are no longer in an apartment.

Yes, our current vet we use is Island Animal Hospital located at 262 Sunset Ave, Palm Beach, FL 33480. you are more than welcome to contact them.

my wife’s job is full time Work from Home so she will be there during the day and i work 9-5 as a lawyer.

No other pets

Yes

Fun, family friendly, and easy to train

No current vet

I will be the primary care for the puppy. I currently work for a dog trainer and live on site of the facility, so I will be training him personally.

I will do crate training, in home training, and basic obedience training.

In a crate next to my bed or in my office at the training facility

6 year old Labrador Retriever

Yes

Labs are our favorite breed of dog. We have a black lab that’s about to turn 7 in a few months and we want a puppy to keep her active while going to the next stage in her life.

Yes, Parkland Animal Clinic. Ask for my wife’s name Angela Hurtado and our dog Chelsea.

I am a Air Force veteran and I will be going back to school starting fall semester. I will be home when I am not in class. Furthermore, my wife is a 3rd grade virtual teacher. She will be helping during her hourly breaks from her virtual classroom.

Crate training has always been our preferred way to train young puppies. We have also took classes on obedience training. This is one of the reasons we prefer labs because they are extremely treat oriented and easy to train.

We are firm believers in crate training for sleeping overnight . We might loosen up a little after the pup reaches a year or so. During the day, once the pup is potty trained, they are welcome on beds and couches.

No

No

I want a companion to be with me from now until I am able to move out of my parents home in a few months. I have always wanted my own puppy to take care of and be my friend as I move onto adulthood.

No

I will be taking care of the puppy along with my parents

I plan to train him with professionals

In my room.

Yes chocolate lab, 5 months old.

Yes, I have raised 4 puppies in total.

I would love a companion for my other lab. He is eager to play with another puppy

None

Yes

I grew up with a yellow lab and fell in love with it and I always wanted a black lab pup

Our old Vet is in Miami, Dr.Bailey

Either myself or my mother will care for dog day/night

I would still try old fashion approach and try to potty train and teach how to catch tennis balls and swimming

Dog will be inside/outside dog and will sleep indoors at nite

1 2 year old golden doodle, that is my parents

I have raised multiple dogs growing up

My girlfriend and I both have grown up with dogs our entire lives. I myself had a chocolate lad most recently and absolutely loved him. We both feel we are in the perfect spot financially and relationship wise to raise one of our own.

I currently do not have a veterinarian for we are moving from Delray Beach but will be moved in by August

I work from home so I will be able to care of him

I plan to train our puppy by crate training it so that is establishes a good routine. I will also plan to take the dog out regularly.

My puppy will sleep in it’s great at the foot of my bed or in a separate room:

No other pets currently.

4. Two of them were labradors.

The two labs I’ve owned were the best friends I’ve ever had. We want a companion.

No. We moved to Florida last year. We’d love your recommendation on a vet in North Broward/Boca.

We are a couple and both of us work at home. Our lab will receive constant love and attention.

Professional training and positive reinforcement.

In a puppy bed located it in our bedroom.

I have a 13 yr old horse, but he is kept at a barn.

I had puppies growing up, but never on my own.

I grew up with two different chocolate labs and they were such amazing dogs. They were very talented duck hunting dogs, but also amazing family dogs.

I do not, but when I plan on realistically acquiring about a litter, I will likely get one.

It is likely that I will be working shortly after getting a dog, but I plan to either be able to come home during lunch or have someone else walk them. It will either be a friend the dog knows or someone from a dog walking service.

I was always very interested in the process of training my dogs growing up since my dad did it himself and I also have experience with training my horse. I am a big fan of long lines to help teach them to stay attentive while being able to explore. I also have been reading a lot about using high value treats as an incentive. I would like to teach the dog basic training like come, sit, lay down, stay, kennel, leave it, and heal.

Likely in a kennel in my room when young and then in a dog bed in my room when older.

1 french bulldog. 5 yrs old.

Yes. Multiple

I’ve had them as a kid and I admire and adore their loyalty, they’re smart and sweet companions.

West Delray Vet

By myself.

Potty train by walking every 2-3 hrs.
Kennel training as well.

In a kennel or gated area when I’m not home. In their own bed or mine when I am home.

We have an amazing mixed breed mutt. She’s 14 years old.

Yes. Two of them. We are familiar with the havoc & happiness they leave in their wake. Lol.

We have a daughter that has ADHD and would be interested in giving her a companion that can help calm her and focus her at times. We have not done any of the formal requests or searches as to what goes into raising a “service” dog and we don’t want to make it seem as if we need one for a physical assistance. But we do believe that our daughter would benefit from the a lab’s demeanor and love.

We do. Dr. Scherr at South Dade Animal Hospital.

My wife is a stay at home mom, wife and house manager. She is there all day when she’s not dropping or picking the kids up to/from school or at Starbucks ? ? lol.

In the past we did crate training for potty training. We also did a basic obedience course at the petco. We are thinking of doing a more in depth obedience trading this time around. But haven’t locked anything down yet.

In the main bedroom with us, the adults. Not on our bed, we would provide the puppy with a bed and crate. And once he is fully potty trained, he would have the choice of where he sleeps (inside the open door crate or on the dog bed).

We have an outside cat who is very lazy and gets along with dogs.

Yes.

We have had labs in the past and they are perfect for us. We like to snuggle with them and take them on walks to the park. My daughter loved playing catch and running with our previous lab. Their demeanor fits our family perfectly.

Yes and yes.

My husband works very close to home and will be able to come home several times a day to spend time with the puppy. I am done with work and home by 3pm everyday.

We have had several puppies over the years and have always trained them to be exceptional and well behaved dogs. We set boundaries and use firm voices to implement them.

As a puppy, in a crate during the day-inside our home of course. When we are home, the puppy will be with us where ever we are. At night, they will have a bed in one of our bedrooms.

We have an amazing, yet anxious dog. She’s a 14 year old mutt. But when anyone asks “what is she?”, we simply say “family”.

Yes. We have raised two puppies together. And although it’s been over a decade, we are ready to have the havoc and mayhem of love again. Lol.

First let me start off by saying that I’m sorry if this is a duplicate form. I filled one out a couple days ago but the captcha thing gave me a funky message. So this is me making sure that you receive a form from us.

Our daughter has ADHD and is a very caring and kind person. She often has difficulty making friends in school because she always wants to hug and often gets overly excited around others. We are hoping that we can get her a companion that will always be happy to receive her hugs and attention. We love our little girl & would love to see her with a friend. And if that friend has 4 paws, then so be it.

Yes. Our Vet is Dr. Scherr at South Dade Animal Hospital.

My wife is an amazing and loving full time stay at home mom to our 3 children. Aside from the daily trips to/from school to pick up/drop off the kids at school & the occasional Starbucks run, she and my 1 year old are always at home.

We previous house broke our puppies by crate training. We plan to do the same thing this time. We also took our puppies to a general obedience course at the local PetCo which we also plan on doing again but we have also talked about getting a more comprehensive obedience course as well. We think that’s be nice for the new puppy as well as us.

The puppy will sleep in our bedroom. Not in bed with us, but in the room. While the puppy is being house broken, he will sleep in the crate (crate training), and once he’s all house broken he will have the choice of his bed or inside the open door crate. Our other dogs seem to really appreciate the freedom of choice.

We have two Corgis, brother and a sister. 5 years old. We love Corgis, We had a Corgi and a Yellow Lab that were best friends but we lost both during Hurricane Irma in 2017. Both died in our arms.

yes, several

I’m 60 years old, I miss the companionship. I am very active and will keep them exercised. Male or Female is fine.
I’ve grown up around blacks and chocolates. Love the breed

Yes

Myself, My wife Tari who is home with the Corgis, My daughter Courtney who lives with us.

A friend of hours- Jaime Pardinas – trained law enforcement dogs, We were unable to have one of their puppies from their Lab litter. He will be our helper to train the family member.

In our bedroom, in the “my Pillow” bed, or on the bed, and both our Corgis are crate trained for the crates in our bedroom, and tend to go in there on their own at night. Daytime, they’ll likely sleep on our Natuzzi leather sofa and chairs in the living room – but usually, someone is at the house.

No

Yes

We had a yellow lab named Buddy when my son was young.
Buddy has since gone and we would like to have dog in our family again.

Aloha Pet & Bird Hospital is where we used to go.

Phone: (321) 777-6444

My son will care for the puppy during the day.

My son will train our new puppy.
Start with basic commands with rewarding the dog.
Walk the dog and socialize in the neighborhood.

We have a large fenced back yard but the puppy will likely sleep in the house.
There is a doggy door to come and go and there will be a dog bed in the house.

Cocoa, Chocolate Labrador, age 9
Lilo, Black Labrador, age 2
(Both females)

Yes, over the years we’ve raised 4 beagles and 2 Labradors.

We are thinking of adding a third puppy to our pack and since bringing home our first lab 9 years ago have never considered another breed. We love living with our labs! Most importantly, we’re looking for a healthy puppy with a solid lab temperament and excellent early socialization as we’ve enjoyed the benefits of living with well-bred labs.

Yes. We work with FloridaWild Veterinary Hospital in Deland, FL, usually with Dr. Villanueva. (396)734-9899

Angie is at home during the days and takes care of our dogs full time. On the occasions that we are traveling or have to be away from home for more than a couple of hours we have a pair of professional dog sitters who come into our home to care for them.

We use positive training methods and have used a combination of group classes and private in-home training sessions in the past depending on the situation. We would plan to definitely attend puppy classes and possibly add private training as needed.

We use crate training and our dogs sleep in their crates for at least the first couple of years of life both at night and for down time during the day. One of our adult dogs “graduated” from sleeping in her crate when she was around 3 and the other loves her crate and chooses to sleep there as an adult.

My husband and I just moved to florida from Omaha, Nebraska. We have a vet back home and definitely plan to find one here of course for Ellie and the new pup!

My name is Chloe, and I work from home! I will be home with both dogs during the day, and I love to stay active myself!

My husband and I plan to train the pup ourselves to start. We will do what we know, and do it with love!

Ellie sleeps with us, haha! We will probably be getting a crate for the lab! Only for night time.

No other pets

Yes both my husband and I had dogs growing up

We have wanted a family dog for a while and now that my daughter is getting a little older we thought it would be a good time. My husband had a lab in the past and so have some of my family and they are just the sweetest dogs. We would just love to add a lab puppy to our family.

No we do not currently have a pet and do not have a vet we use. We will plan to find one locally here.

Both my husband and I work from home. We will be able to care for the puppy and walk the puppy as needed.

We will crate train the puppy and that will be the dogs safe place and home. The dog will be an indoor dog and live in our home with us. We have a big yard. We will potty train. We will love the dog and show her lots of patience.

We plan to crate train the dog for the dogs safe place and home. We will also have a dog bed and spots for the dog to sit with us.

Home training and if needed a trainer but don’t foresee a trainer.. we have trained all our dogs for past 32 years as a married couple

Bed cushion or on our bed at night

No, we recently lost our 13yr old yellow lab.

Yes, Redbone, German short hair, an 3 Labradors.

Life is better with a dog. I prefer labs because they are usually very family oriented. They train well and are eager to please. I want a calm one that can be easily desensitized to various social situations.

Yes, I have 2 that work for me that would gladly give me a reference.

I would likely take her to work with me when she is young or until my wife (school teacher) is out for the summer. My oldest daughter is often home during the day doing college on line. I’m sure while she is new and little, everyone will want to watch her.

I have experience training elephants, rhinos, lions, giraffe, and much more. Not sure training is the right word for the family dog. I want to incorporate her into our family. Be loving, be consistent, be well adjusted, be eager to please and follow my lead. Some people think it’s just sit, stay, paw. My philosophy is much deeper than that. We always get complimented that our dogs are so well behaved. It’s not the dog tho, it’s the consistency of the family. Everyone is always training. The dog is always learning.

The dog will sleep on HER dog bed in the house.

No, but my sister ego does NOT live at home has a 3 year old golden retriever that comes over sometimes

Yes, a black lab when I was younger, a dachshund, and I helped my sister with her golden when he was a puppy

I grew up with one from ages 1-13 and she was my best friend, they are such an amazing breed and I would love to have one as my first dog of my own. They are well behaved and energetic and would be perfect for my parents and I to have in the household.

Yes, Cleveland Heights Animal Hospital and their phone number is 8636462995

By me and my mom mostly, and my dad on his days off. But this puppy will primarily be mine so I will take most of the responsibility

I will crate train, and self train, and for more in depth training I will take the puppy to a family friend dog trainer in our town

In a crate until completely house trained, and then the puppy will be free roam and have beds all around the home to go to. The cage will stay in my room.

no i do not have any other pets

no

I want a Labrador Retriever because those are one of my top favorite dogs, and i want to experience what it would be like to raise an actual dog, and me and kids want one

No, I do not.

My puppy will be cared for by me and 15 year old daughter, feed in the morning, try to do some training, play a lot, take him outside with me and to stores. We are very active and we will bring him along everywhere!

Have my treats, tell them the command, and even if he does it half way, i’ll still give him a treat because then they will eventually get the hang of it as it’s being repeated daily and hourly. Sitting, roll over, not walking out the door when it’s opened, waiting to eat their food, where to go and not to go, controlling themselves around other dogs!

My puppy will be sleeping in my living room right by my room door!

None

Yes we have had several labs

We have had several labs and now are kids are old enough to help care for one

Yes Hollywood animal hospital

My wife works from
Home and I work a week on week off schedule

We have trained labs ourselves in the past. With our chocolate lab we had a professional trainer and went to classes

Dog mat likely in the kids room

Penny.. Cocker Spaniel, 5yrs

Yes, Lab

Have had Labs most of my life. Last one was Goldie, who was a rescue. Loyalty, good with kids, intelligence, happy and playful. Have a big backyard to play in with plenty of wildlife

Boynton Beach Animal Hospital is where Penny goes

By myself, I work 80% from home

By myself and professional

Wherever she is happy. As member of household, I allow dogs to roam so they can feel as a protector and allow for growth. Penny sleeps on my bed half the night, and on floor pillow which is large enough for two

No other pets

Yes, a chocolate lab named Nahla

Because we love how they are friendly, sweet, loyal, good with children, active and love the water

No because our veterinarian retired but we will ask around for a reputable one in the neighborhood

I work from home everyday and my husband is off every other week so we would take care of the puppy during the day. The dogs scheduled walks and eat times change as they get older so tbh I forgot how frequently they need walks and food as a puppy bc it’s been so long since our deceased dog was a puppy but as an adult she ate twice a day and had a morning walk, 1-2 midday walks and an evening walks during the work week.

We are open to suggestions because the last one jumped on tables for food lol but k think we would use the clicker/reward with treat system

As a puppy, in our main bedroom and in a crate that we will make cozy with blankets or a small dog bed.

No other pets

Yes we raised a chocolate Labrador, Nahla

Because they are great with kids, sweet, playful, loyal

No we don’t have one right now but would ask friends and family for a local trusted one

My husband and I would take care of the puppy. I work from home and e has every other week off. We would take the puppy for 3-4 walks a day, have playtime, feed it twice a day as an adult. We have a pool and live on a closed in lake (no connecting canals) so puppy would have access to plenty of water activity!

We would try the clicker/treat positive reinforcement method

Puppy would sleep in a crate in our home day and night (assuming puppy fees comfortable in it bc of innate feeling of being in a den). Puppy would probably sleep in the bedroom with me and my husband and once grown , any room in the house it wants to sleep in

No other pets

Yes

My fiancé and I just bought our first home and are ready to have a fur baby! I work in a busy trauma center and want something loving and happy to come home to after working all day and seeing the things I see on a daily. We want to have our puppy love the water. We plan on taking our puppy to the beach with us, on walks, on the boat and on our vacations

na

My fiancé and I work opposite schedules. He’s off Saturday and Sunday. And I am off Wednesday-Friday. I don’t go to work until 1pm on Monday and Tuesday and he gets off work at 5 pm. So someone will be with the puppy at all times minus for 5 hours on Monday and Tuesday

I plan on training the puppy to love the water. I plan on taking the puppy swimming at a young age. I also am going to make sure the puppy is trained to not jump on people at a young age

As a puppy they will sleep in a crate. But once they are trained they will sleep inside

My ‘gran’ snake/ 15 years

It was a gift from grandma against my wishes. But when you have a pet, you have it for life. He’s going to outlive us all :)

Labs have truly enriched my life. Twenty years ago, we had such a beautiful sweet chocolate girl that we wanted to share her with the world! We responsibly tested her for everything available at the time(eyes, joints, etc) She scored high so we bred her with a “show champ” and had a litter of 11 gorgeous pups. My son and I helped deliver them. We also supplemented milk and raised them in baby pools in our living room until the 3rd week, then moved them to the patio! After 10 weeks, we kept our favorite male and carefully selected homes for the rest. It was hard work but I was in heaven! So YES, I have raised puppies.

My sweet Chocolate Moose died several years ago at the age of 17!!! He went everywhere with us. My husband and I are boaters and campers and lead an active lifestyle. My heart is ready and yearns for a new baby! ? But I don’t want just any lab; I want one from a responsible breeder. So Flo Labradors sounds like the perfect fit ?

Yes, We used to go to Dr. K in Jupiter.

I am a retired school teacher. My husband is also retired. I have plenty of time to devote to a dog ❤️

Immediately. Positive reinforcement and a lot of patience. We’ll begin with potty training; soft hand mouthing only/no biting; sit and stay; walking on a leash; retrieval; no jumping on visitors; good manners!
Labs tend to chew for the first two years. For some reason they favor expensive leather. ? It is my responsibility to provide lots of chew toys and activity and keep shoes/handbags out of reach!

During the day, he will have a large crate that he can hide in when he wants peace. At night, he can sleep in our bed-he’s gonna be part of the pack!

No

Yes

Know people with labs. Great dog with great temperament.

3 year old Yellow Lab, 7 Month old Golden Retriever

Yes, I have raised 4 puppies while my lovely girlfriend has raised 2.

We love labs ! they are soo sweet and caring, great personalities and lastly companions , cannot say enough good things about labs, only bad thing is they love food!!

Yes, We currently have moved down here in Florida for a month now, but will be transferring our pets to a vet around here soon.

Myself ( Anthony) or my girlfriend Mikaela , the puppy will be around one of us at all times, Anthony can bring them to work or if Mikaela is off they might be home depending on the day. The puppy will be trained with patience and love and ofcourse with treats. The puppy will not be crated while we are home, unless the puppy is active at night then we will crate so everyone gets a good night sleep. Also the puppy would be cared for by a long morning walk and good evening walk with a backyard to play around in during the day. We are currently living in an apartment while our house is being built and is scheduled to be moving in by the middle / end of June … latest first week of July.

We believe in patient training , rewarding the dog for correctly doing the command. Training takes lots of time and patience and repetitiveness.

We have multiple dog thrones as they are better than dog beds….hahah… on the couch with us or floor.

During the night either on our bed between us or if active crate so we do not have to worry about the puppy getting hurt jumping off the bed ( if he is active at night when growing older).

Our German Shepherd passed away last year.

Yes, I’ve had 5 dogs throughout my life, all were raised from pups

I friends have Labs, one golden the other fox red. I wanted to change things up a bit.

Yes, Park Avenue Vet in Apopka Fla

The pup will be crated in a large crate with a movable divider for growth.

The pup will be trained using positive reinforcement. The typical sit, stay, lay down, leave it commands. Also will be leash trained with 2 to 3 walks per day. Short walks at first followed by longer ones as the pup grows. The perk across the street offers a place to play fetch and frisbee. Our yard is fenced with 6′ vinyl fencing.

Pup will have a crate when noboy’s home and several dog beds, one in my office, one in the living room. At night the dog will be crated in the bedroom with us until it is completely housebroken, then allowed to lay on the carpet, cool bathroom tile, or dog bed. I don’t allow dogs on the furniture, I hate sand in the bed and dog hair on the furnature.

No

Yes, we raised a lab puppy previously.

We had a rescue black lab named Kobe who passed away at 1 years old due to aortic stenosis and DCM. We believe his health issues were due to bad breeding. We fell in love with Kobe and his temperament and he fit so perfectly in our lives with our activity level and what we like to do (walks, beach). Within the next 10 years we will have kids, but not anytime soon, so we also want a family dog who will grow with us as our family grows.

We previously had a Banfield Pet Hospital vet, you may contact them. However, with this dog we are prepared to move to a different vet as they were not our favorite.

I work a hybrid schedule at my job and will be home besides two days a week. On those two days, my husband is allowed to take the dog with him to work.

I have a trainer we used for our last dog named Daniela. She helped us do positive training with our last dog because we don’t believe in punishing a dog. We did weekly training sessions where we worked up from learning sit stay wait leave it etc. to learning leash walking skills and remaining calm in public. We would go to dog friendly stores to practice all of the above and train outside of dog parks. I believe having your dogs focus is one of the most important parts of training!

During the day the puppy can sleep wherever he chooses. During the night we want to crate train the dog but will have his crate in our room with us so he isn’t separated. I want the crate to be his comfortable space and hope that he would wander into his crate to nap during the day (not having the door closed) as well as at night.

One 6 year old American bulldog

Yes, my current dog has been in my care since 10 weeks old

I have always admired the breed, my best friend just got her first lab after loosing her dog of 10 years and the breed grew on me even more. My one and only fur baby is growing in age and I would like to have a friend for him as well as another companion to fill our hearts when he is no longer with us.

Yes, VCA Vet League

I am a nurse, luckily I am a home care nurse so I am only gone from home about 2-4 hours a day. Working from home the remainder of the time. So I will be caring for the puppy along with my daughter

I have always used a crate training method along with positive reinforcement and structure. My dog currently is extremely well behaved, listens very well, doesn’t jump, chew or bite. So I would intend to train the new puppy as I did my current dog

Crate until trained then free roam of the home

I want a Labrador Retriever to add another member to our family so my children can grow up with a puppy and experience all of the love and joy that comes with raising a lab and having a dog as part of our family.

No

My wife works from home

We will try to train our puppy on our own however we are open to advice and would also be open to a professional trainer

We are open to doing whatever is best for the puppy. We do not intend to place any burdensome restrictions on the puppy.

No

With my family yes we raised 4 dogs. 1 cockapoo, 1 lab retriever, 1 German shepherd, and 1 lab/husky mix (we believe that was her breed she was a rescue).

I grew up with them. They are beautiful smart loyal dogs that fit our lifestyle. We are active and looking for our life companion for me and my Fiancé to raise.

We do not.

I work from home M-F and will be able to tend to him/her all day. My fiancé works 3 days a week so when she is off we will both be able to care for them during the day. Obviously on the weekends I will be available to care for our puppy.

Definitely going to begin with den training for over night and any time we may be a way. We will also work to have them be free to roam once they reach the age they can safely hold their bladder. Will potty train them. We are on the 4th floor of our apartment so we will get turf pads for the balcony to aid in that process in the beginning. Will leash train early with the goal of going keashless.

Day will be a pen in my office. Night will be den until they reach the age and proper training to sleep with us.

No

Raised a Labrador from 8 weeks old until she passed away at age 12.

We had a Labrador who passed last year. They are great dogs. They are great with children and very friendly.

No we recently moved here from Maryland.

My wife and I we retired early.

I will train my puppy with repeated verbal commands with a treat afterwards when they do good.

Are puppy will sleep at night in a crate and a playpen during the day when we are home in the house. While in training.

Yes, some birds in an outdoor aviary, two cichlid ponds, one koi pond, a dwarf bunny in a different part of the aviary, several indoor fish tanks, and two indoor cats.

Yes, over the past thirty years, I have raised two yellow lab puppies, one pocket beagle puppy, and one small rescue puppy.

I have been around Labrador’s for the past forty plus years and love their personality, intelligence, and behavior. They are sweet dogs and are easy to train. We have had several different small dogs, over the last twenty years and both of them have suffered greatly from intervertebral disc disease/disorder; despite exercising great care with them. It is heartbreaking to lose a dog, so I want to return to a larger breed that does not have that problem.

Yes to both.

I will train our puppy, who will also socialize with our two grown daughters and my husband. We have a nice backyard with a pool that should satisfy some of his exercise needs while allowing him to swim, which labs love to do.

I will potty train him the same way I have done it before. I will carry him out to a circular pen, especially after he eats, drinks, or wakes up. I will place him inside the fencing and let him sniff around. Once he starts going, I will repeat potty, potty, potty; while he is going and praise him upon completion. I believe in training through positive reinforcement. In regards to chewing, there will be chew toys for him, and we will keep our shoes and other things puppies love to chew up, as much as possible. We will spend several hours per day playing with him, teaching him how to walk on a leash, and working on obedience as he gets older.

I know you aren’t supposed to allow your dog to sleep with you, but we have always allowed them to. They provide a sense of love and comfort when they lean into you and sleep with you. We provided safe ways for the small ones to get off the bed.

My girlfriend and I have both raised childhood dogs from puppies. They unfortunately recently passed in the last few years in their old age and battle with cancer, and I was looking to surprise her with her dream dog.

I have heard of the loving personalities and playful nature of labradors. They have been around my girlfriend and I our whole lives, and have both dreamed of welcoming one into our families. We have plans for kids and other dogs, and labradors have been known to do well with them. I have plans to read guides and train my future friend to be safe and comfortable with humans and other dogs.

I have a vet who has helped me with my childhood pet, who passed in 2021 at 13. Her name is Dr. Angela Butts and is located at the Animallife Vet Center at 7550 Mission Hills Drive, #108, Naples, FL, 34119. You can definitely call her at (239)-435-1222, and my dog was Benji.

I am planning to start remotely working soon, and I will be the person primarily taking care of him. My routine was to take my dog out at least three times per day, and to feed once per day. I’m currently looking up nutritious natural dog food brands and meals that I can cook that are dog/puppy safe. Training will be often, especially early. YouTube and Reddit are good places to engage with trainers and other Labrador owners.

I plan to train them with positive reinforcement over punishment. Early training will include touching them while they are eating and playing to teach familiarity. I will also incorporate more challenging tricks to develop their intellect. I have seen puppy bowls that help slow down their eating daily or every few days, especially as puppies. Walking training will be important to avoid pulling and establish familiarity with how walks should be. These are based off of current research, which will improve as the puppy pickup date nears.

They will have a bed available to them, but will be welcomed on the bed my gf and I sleep on. There will be other warm places besides a cold wood floor that the dog will have natural light and shade to rest.

N/A

We have never raised a puppy of our own! I have fostered several litters of pups from the humane society growing up. They were mostly strays/ abandoned by their mother and too young to be placed in their forever homes separately. My partner, Gabe, has had multiple dogs growing up in his family home, but the raising of them was mostly his parents responsibility at the time. We have done a lot of research and have been waiting for the perfect time to raise the first puppy of our own. My sister is a practicing small animal veterinarian and has been helping us a lot with this process.

Gabe and I have visited multiple shelters and consulted with various breeders in search of what we think will be the perfect fit for us, and also which breed would also be the happiest with our personalities and our home. Gabe and I both are 26 years old and are very active, outgoing, and family oriented, and we really would like the breed of dog we choose to be a wonderful addition to our already existing lifestyle. We both have wanted a more active, larger dog breed since we were little (Gabe grew up with golden’s, and I have fostered many larger size dog breeds), but we also recognize that we do live in a condo and that we have to be realistic about the size of dog that would be comfortable in our home, and realized that a dog right around 80 pounds or under would be the best fit. Living in a condo has also made us realize the importance of our dog being good with other dogs and able to be socialized well from a young age (we have a lot of other dogs in our building, and want to make sure our dog would be happy to run into other dogs in the hallways, etc.) We also live right across the street from a dog park! Which we think would be a great from of socialization and activity for our dog, so we really value our dog being able to play with others. Additionally, both of our parents have houses with pools, and we love to visit the dog beach around 10 minutes away, and so we would love to have a dog that loves the water and loves to play and swim with us! I love to go on walks around the city (I walk an average of 15k steps a day) and would love a furry friend that would love to be active with me. Most importantly, our first dog would be the first addition to our family, and therefore would be an integral part of our lives when we decide to have kids of our own, and we want to make sure our pup would be good with young children. We are also currently very socially active and visit our family and friends often as well as host, and so really value having a dog that is open to strangers and can be adaptable when necessary. I personally value a very well trained dog and am drawn to the Labrador retriever for it’s trainability. They are also the cutest!! We met a litter of pups last week and fell in love with the chocolate color pups we met. We may be open to other colors as well, but we really think the chocolate coat color is beautiful.

Since we currently do not have any pets, we do not have a veterinarian at the moment. As I mentioned above, my sister is a veterinarian and so she has been helping us with this process. However, her practice is in Rhode Island, so we would be finding a practitioner closer to us when the time comes. We have done some research on Vets in our area but are also open to suggestions/ referrals if you have any you trust or would like us to work with.

We plan to both take some time off of work when the puppy is first brought home for about the first month so we never leave it alone for longer than AKC guidelines of one hour per month of age (ex: 8-10 weeks: less than an hour; 3 months: less than 3 hours, etc.) Our PTO accumulates per month, so we have been planning for this and saving up for quite some time. As the puppy gets older, I work in the UM Hospital so can work remote 1 day per week and only work 10 minutes away from the home if it’s ever necessary for me to go home. Gabe is able to work remote more freely, and is typically home all day 2-3 days per week. He is an engineer and works on site for construction projects some days, but if he is on site it’s usually just for a few hours. In a rare instance that both of us would be away from home for 8 hours during the work week, we have several doggy day cares within walking distance of our condo. Additionally, we have several friends that are walking distance that we feel comfortable with accessing our home while we are gone to be with the puppy. (Again, this is only as it gets older and as is age appropriate).

We do plan to crate train our puppy to help with potty training from an early age. We found this recommended by veterinarians and the AKC website in order to create a house training schedule. Ideally, I would love to follow the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) training classes or a similar program, I believe they may offer group classes of this at the Petco near us, but need to do some more research on availability as the time gets closer. Gabe thinks that I will be able to train the dog very well on my own (I work in behavioral psychology and teach, so this process would be very enjoyable and fulfilling for me as well). However, I recognize this is my first puppy, so always bring up getting private professional puppy training as a great resource as well.

We are hoping for the first few weeks we can crate train the puppy to love and be comfortable in it’s crate while being close to us! We want the puppy to associate the crate with safety and positive reinforcement and are hoping that it can sleep comfortably in here while it is being house trained.

Yes. Pines west Pembroke Pines

I am a teacher so I’m off until 8-15 and so I will be doing training and staying home with puppy and plan to crate train so it will be okay when I am at work. I get 2 breaks during the day and live close to work so I would be able to stop by and let him out

Planning on crate training right away, I have another dog that eats her food in her crate so I want to train this one to do the same. And then the normal, sit and potty train and shake hands type of stuff

Either in the crate if needed or preferably on the bed once potty trained

Love the breed, we have had 2 in the past 17 years. We just had to put down our Chocolate this week who was fighting cancer since this past March.

We recently moved to FL so we do not have a local Vet. We have a Vet that we used in New Jersey that we could provide you with all of their information.

Yes, I have raised two Labrador retriever females from puppy to senior.

I have loved Labrador Retrievers all my life. I have had a chocolate Labrador female and a yellow Labrador female rescue, both have which lived for 13+ years. This dog will have the most amazing life filled with dog parks, long walks, delicious food, lots of snuggles, a private yard and pool, and amazing care. Owning a Labrador Retriever is my heart’s desire. Their charming personality and unwavering loyalty tug at my soul. I envision a life filled with joyful moments, as we embark on adventures together, their playful spirit a constant source of happiness. Their gentle nature assures me that they’ll be perfect companions for me & my future family , especially the little ones. Moreover, their intelligence and trainability make them an ideal choice for various activities, enriching our lives with endless possibilities. Embracing a Labrador means forging an unbreakable bond, and I can’t wait to experience the unconditional love and companionship that only they can offer.

No but I plan to have my dog’s health care provided here, https://www.clintmooreanimalhospital.com/

I work out of my childhood home, which is less than five minutes from my apartment. This puppy will be looked after me for the vast majority of the Day.

I plan to take puppy classes for both training and socialization. My goal is to train this puppy so that it may be a role model for other puppies and their owners.

My puppy will have palatial accommodations when at home or at work, there will be beds, furniture and cool floors to sleep on during the day and night. Dogs love comfort and I am happy to oblige in providing comfort.

Just one other yellow lab that is 8 years old

Yes

They are amazing dog, very sweet with kids and other people. They are playful and such a sweet companion.

Yes, Gregory veterinarian in Tampa Florida.

Since we own a business, they are able to come to work with us so that he can be let out multiple times a day and will not be home alone. We are home all day on weekends and will all be able to spend time with the puppy

Previously, we brought our lab to a private trainer who came to our house. With this dog, we were considering bringing him to a petco class.

At night he will sleep in his crate

Yes, we just lost our pitbull mix and are absolutely heartbroken about it. He was so sweet and snuggly. I got him at 6 weeks old and had him until he just passed at 9. We know a pup won’t replace him, but think it will fill the void a bit, and we are excited to start the journey with our next pup.

Any lab we have ever met is so friendly and smart. We have heard they are great family dogs, and we may have kids down the road. We think they are beautiful and can’t wait to include ours on walks, adventures to the beach and swimming in our pool!

I go into the office about once a week and my husband works from home every day, so our pup will be getting loads of attention. I took our past dog, Cooper, on a walk in the AM and one at night. I will do the same with the new pup. I loved training and teaching cooper tricks also. We tend to have people over more than going out, so our pup will be meeting lots of new friends.

I got our last dog, Cooper, when he was six weeks and had him able to sit, shake, wait, roll over and speak in the first couple months. I will do the same with this girl and would like to teach her nice walking manners/heeling and to drop her toy when we are playing fetch.

During the day, likely on the couch downstairs by us. During the night, hopefully she will want to be in bed snuggled up with us:)

No other pets

No, I have not.

I am currently a college student at UCF but planning to move back home to Boca Raton, my hometown, in August. A dog would be a great fit for me while adjusting to living back home. I have a few friends who have labs from you guys and have highly recommended me to get one. My boyfriend also wants a dog so he can become a duck dog since we partake in hunting.

I do not.

I will be the main caretaker of the puppy. I will be living with my younger sister, mom, step dad and stepbrother for a little bit while I try to find a new home to move into on my own.

I plan to take it to a trainer. I am looked into it but have not found a place I am set on yet.

I want to be able to let the puppy sleep where it wants to whether that is with me or inside a kennel.

No

Yes, we have raised 2 English Bulldogs in the past

We’ve seen the demeanor of our best friends puppy and our family has 3 foster to adoptive children who seek companionship with animals. We believe it is the right time with their ages to have them grow with an animal to help them through their healing.

We use to use Martin Downs Animal Clinic

I work from home as well as homeschooling our 11 year old so the 2 of us will be home most of the day.

Crate when we aren’t home, have a designated sleeping area, we are looking into a trainer so we can bring the dog with us on our outings to help our children’s anxiety and depression.

Either in crate or in designated area

A labordoodle. He is 3 years, very friendly, and gets a long with all humans and pets!

Yes :)

I’m looking for a companion. I’m home pretty much all day because I work from home, I also struggle with anxiety. I think having a dog of my own especially, a labrador will force me to go outside and exercise a lot more and just enjoy our time together.

Yes I do and you may! VCA Vet on Commercial Blvd, Fort Lauderdale Florida!

I work from home doing social media marketing, so I plan to be with the puppy all day. Playing, feeding, and loving the pupper!

I plan to potty train of course, crate train, and basic commands like sit and paw.

First, he or she will be crate trained. Then I imagine in my bed or in a doggy bed beside my bed!

No

Yes

We both grew up with labs and raised our family lab over Covid together. We are hoping to love and cherish a lab before starting our own family in the coming year.

Not yet, as we don’t currently have any of our own pets.

Spouse who works from home full time, 7 days a week.

My wife grew up with labs and border collies who she trained with her mother. We will be crate training as well.

I am very experienced with dogs, as my mother and father owned a dog grooming business. I spent much of my childhood and young adult years as an assistant dog groomer and dog care taker as part of my parents small business.

At night our puppy will have its own space in a comfortable crate. During the day the puppy will be welcome to sleep in her own bed (in addition to crate).
