Scudsmum

That is good to know actually! I had been previously told he should be around other dogs until his 3rd shot at 16weeks. Cheers for that!

We don't expect him to go from cute puppy to docile adult. We particularly chose a labrador because we wanted a energetic dog. We just don't want him to bite and hurt people. Scud will be going to puppy pre-school after his 16wk shots but that's still some time away yet. And we also have researched which obedience school we'll be taking him too.

Yes that is him in Rainey's photo. He's gorgeous till he get's those fangs out. I think the yelping thing worked once but then it seemed as though he knew it wasn't really hurting us so he now ignores the yelps. We are going to do some serious ignoring now when he bites because this does seem to get to him more than some of the other things we've tried. .....He's such a ratbag....but I love him!
