Tammy got 2 bodyguards... so that is why we let her be outdoors. Labs are targets too with dog snatchers. How old is Fala? If below 1 year ah, suggest you keep indoors first.

Tammy stayed indoors for her 1st year. Then when she was old enough, only let her stay outdoors.

Hahah... My dad wanted a deep golden brown pup. But she was the only yellow lab in the litter that was socialble. Her sister was a deep brown but so scared and timid. Then all her brothers were black.

LOL... 
nice to see such an enthusiastic dog lover!

well, I HAD a golden retriever and a labrador before..hehe... 

my goldie was Crystal..got her from a breeder in Singapore..poor girl died at the age of 10 months old due to food poisoning...swore to never ever let my dogs go near my house gate anymore...itchy fingers throwing nonsense inside...tht's what we suspect lar..cos we've seen it before..but jus this time din manage to save her... 

my lab's name is Pip..cheeky lil guy..he was one of those labs with big bones..a breeder wanted to pair him up with his female pup..so we let him go..since the breeder had a big land and Pip enjoyed himself amongst the other labs..and we were having problems at tht time.. 

but overall, i love retrievers..such sweet natured dogs..hehe..always trying to please their owners..and so beautiful too.. 

i'll get myself another retriever in the future..when I have my own house with a nice garden for her..


Hewo hewo ...

Ahhh, next time lah. I always have dogs for adoption but mostly they are mixbreeds and mongrels. Once a while got golden retriever. Oh yah, I got a mini pincher... interested? Hehehe... adoption lah, not sale.

Thanks, you are welcome to visit Tammy. She is a playful gal.

Keep her indoors first. I found that if you keep labs with watch dogs, they act like watch dogs also. Coz my boxers bark and act aggressive with strangers near the gate, Tammy does that too.

But once stranger enter the house with our premission, Tammy instantly change into a friendly jumping dog.

Since your Fala that age ah, better put indoors first.

yeah, and some people dun like guard dogs cos they bark when strangers pass by...so if u have horrid neighbours, they'll report u and do evil things to ur dogs..kinda sad...they dun appreciate the dogs are jus doing what come naturally...sigh..

good thing retrievers are generally good-natured.. smile.gif

my uncle's goldie never barks at anyone..stranger or not...so one night I told her, if u dun bark at strangers, they might come in and harm us..

so then my other uncle came back and was unlocking the wooden door..and she started barking at him...hahahaha... rclxms.gif

Definitely . Guard dog , hmm what do you recommend but it has to be a small breed one ...you know lah terrace house . Another thing I am afraid is my Fala might not like a companion after all . *note* she is very possessive .

terrace house is quite difficult to keep guard dogs. UNLESS you willing to walk them in the early morning when there's less people...

But the size doesn't scare them... LOL...
Usually ppl will look at the size of the dog to determine whether they are fierce or not...
Like Great Dane, eventhough it's not a guard dog, ppl see the size alrdy scare...

Ahh.. to be frank , I am not going to get any dog like a dobe or a rottie as I have no experience in training especially these dogs you have to have great control over them ..so yeah just any dog can bark very loud and face like want to eat you like that then very good liow .
