We lost Elsa over a year ago and it feels like we are now ready for our next dog.
Two questions we are pondering based on the fact that we rescued Elsa, a black lab, when she was 3 years old and we are thinking another lab would be a right for us.
1 - Puppy or a 1-2 year old rescue? Considering mess, chewing, recall/train-ability, etc
2 - Black or Fox Red lab? - Every black lab bitch I have met has been lovely, loyal and obedient (after training). Fox Reds look nice but are they any different?
I know a dog should not be for Christmas but I am thinking the time with the family around for a couple weeks may be a good start for a new family member.
We live in a house with two cats and a large garden on the edge of a quiet village.
