Any owners of labrador retrievers here?

As some of you know, I lost both my dogs (3/2009 & 2/2010).

We want to get another dog, not right now because it's too soon for us still... but we are thinking around July.

I was looking at Labrador retrievers


I wanted to know if anyone here is an owner of one or knows of one that can tell me their experiences with them. I have also done some reading on them. My cousin went to see some chocolate lab puppies and I went with him... they are sooooooooooooooo cute! lol

One of our neighbors had a black lab, and she passed away about a year ago. I think she was 13. She was a very sweet dog. Labs tend to be very gentle and loving dogs.

That's what I hear, that they are very gentle and loving. Rocky was that way too.
Panther was actually a lab mixed with another dog. She LOVED the water and could be chasing a ball all day long lol

Here is a video I found of a lab puppy. Warning: Heart could melt lol
