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..

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.

really??? aiks...so u know how i feel too....horrid people...so sakit hati right? haih..

and i also found out from the breeder who i gave my lab to..my lab's future mate was poisoned by some construction workers nextdoor...so sad!!!!!

he's still alright..and the breeder is moving somewhere else to protect his doggies..

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.

Doberman or German sheperd perhaps?

AHahah....good watch dogs, mini pinchers lah. Small and bark have courage like doberman.

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...

What i mean early is around 5am
Last time i saw a uncle with around 6 Rottweilers at 4.30am... i cycle pass them, damn scare lar.... hahahaha

hahaha.. the ah pek thought ur Fala going to bite him???

get a bulldog? hrm...wat other dogs that are medium size, bark loud, and muka garang..........

Waaa looks like my cousin's golden ... err white retriever that has passed away a few weeks ago ...

Topic merged since there's 2 retrievers thread

IMHO, i think that a mixbreed will do just fine, especially when there's strangers passing by, they'll bark non stop and like going to eat you up kinda look. But some mixbreed are quite timid, so it depends on your luck. Not to forget that most mixbreed are medium-sized so i think it's suitable for the kind of house you are living in.

nice dog...
but the way, when we get the dog for adoption is the dog been train ?
i am curious bout that
i am planning to get a golden this this ...had been calling around n found out the price is around RM 1500 for pup...it is the standard price ??
any where i can a cheaper dog ......

thanks

Dont label all breeders focuses on money. You'll get a handful from me later. 

M2KLand,

Sorry to hear that ..poor thing..

ooo is Labrador Retriever it look very cute find a day we meet up, let them play together

hobbyist breeder
Is he chained up all the time? Does your sister play with him when you're not around? there's a lot of possibility. One word for it, hyperactive...all the stored energy are vented out whenever you release him.
