Cute. Huge fan of yellow labs, unfortunately my wife can't deal with the shedding.Here is a recent pic of Bridger. He is named after a ski hill in Bozeman MT.
He joins our family on May 15th. Can't wait!

I love these forums, we talk about beer, wine, mead, & cider, obviously. I've also found threads dedicated to smoking meat, making homemade pizza.
We've got just a ridiculous thread that I think has turned into a collection of goat pictures.
And now I find we have one about puppies!
I'm starting to think that all this site needs to compete with theChive is an associated charity and a thread full of college girls in bikinis.
The slobber is a while different story. I love our saint but when he passes we will not be getting another saint.
lol I like how you think. And like mentioned below, if you are a supporting member you can find most of that on this site alsoI love these forums, we talk about beer, wine, mead, & cider, obviously. I've also found threads dedicated to smoking meat, making homemade pizza.

Labs are the best, even when they do this:

Look into Leonbergers: 1/3 Newf; 1/3 Pyrr; 1/3 St. B. but they do not drool and they are really nice dogs.
I agree, but we decided that the bigger more mellow pup would fit better with our life style right now. We have small children and the smaller more energetic pup was just a bit to "crazy lab pup" for us right now. Granted the bigger one is still a lab pup, but not turned up to 11.
We have watched lots of video of the entire litter and spent a lot of time talking with the breeder prior to making our pick.

Congrats!! Sounds like you did a lot of due diligence before you chose. Wish more people would do that
I used to live on Bozeman and I still visit almost every year. I remember the days of hitch hiking up the hill so I could ski.

Pretty typical as you probably know. Most find it a sanctuary after a while.He goes in and out of his crate for food and water but is still not a fan once the door closes. I laid next to his crate last night and after 5 minutes he was out and I was able to move to my own bed.
First night with Brutus went pretty well. Played hard outside, helped me mow the lawn. Romped around inside chewed on a lot of things that are not chew toys lol

Looks like you could use a riding lawnmower
Or the no riding mower is the perfect amount of effort to justify a post yard work shower beer!
He is doing better. Still a new place and lots to take in. We found putting a blanket over the crate when it's bed time seemed to help him.Pretty typical as you probably know. Most find it a sanctuary after a while.
Has the Saint Bernard done the "enough, I am done playing" move of plopping a giant paw on top of the pup when enough is enough?
Would be nice but just didn't feel like dropping 2k on a lawnmower. Spent 299 on this one from lowes. I need the exercise anyways. We bought the house in December, before that it sat vacant for 3-4 years.Looks like you could use a riding lawnmower
Yikes! One more reason I live in New England.This one got caught twice on the face taking out a copperhead in the yard yesterday. (Don't worry- she'll be fine)
That drool means she's feelin' fantastic after the vet juiced her up on painkillers.
Be careful out there, and if your dog comes in with a swollen face, don't wait and get them to the vet!
Poor pup. Glad we don't have to worry about snakes in Alaska. Everything that can hurt us for the most part is rather large and hopefully you see from a distance.

You do realize that now 1- this is the Internet and it's permanent so ya can't take it back. And 2- ya done jinxed yerself.

He has taken a liking to our little girl though which is pretty adorable.

Oh man, I would have freaked. Glad the kiddo and pup are ok.Neighbor in Stillwater, OK had a dog that suddenly had a super swollen leg one day. She was pitiful for a few days but recovered fine and no one thought a thing about it.
The following weekend (about 6 days later) their 4-year-old came in crying and said "those worms in the back yard but me". Those worms were baby rattlers and the dog had likely killed the mother as it was found outside the fence pretty torn up.
Kid (after anti-venom) and dog survived but that one stuck with me. Kid had 11 bites with only 3 that had punctured the skin.
Was curious about this. Heard that before.very lucky, juvenile rattlers actually carry a stronger dose of venom than the adults.
That looks like a blast.Rogue Ales puts on a dog friendly beer festival every year...pretty fun stuff actually.

Yea you done did it now....I was hoping for more of a counter jinx. (You know by wishing for lab type mischievousness maybe I would avoid it.)
Wait, is that a double secret jinx.....
Yea he just wants to be next or on someone so he lets us know he is very unimpressed when we close the door. We found covering his crate with a blanket helps a little though and each time is getting better than the last. I figure by this weekend he will realize he isn't being locked away for life and we are coming back to see him.Congrats on the new guy and getting him home!! Crate training can be rough at the beginning, but so worth it in the end.
Love the pics of him with your little one and him "helping" mow the yard!!
Ouch, glad she is going to be ok.
Yep, except frickin' porcupines. Our last dog, a Siberian, loved them when he was younger. Got into them twice in one day when he was at a friends house while we were on vacation. I have pulled way to many quills out of friends dogs around here.
O
And thanks, he wasn't scared of the mower at all and pretty much naturally healed by my side the entire time. Hoping that trait grows with him, he doesn't like to wander far from me or the wife.
