					<description><![CDATA[Spay or Neutering your puppy &#8211; When Should You do it? Most people hear that you should spay or neuter your puppy as soon as possible (as young as 6 months old), so as to diminish the unwanted puppy population.  While we agree that there is unfortunately a growing population of unplanned puppies, there are also valid arguments for waiting to spay or neuter a dog, that affect its lifetime health.  The article below covers the scientific evidence behind those arguments. -Endless Mt. Labradors  A great video to watch on this subject! [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enPCZA1WFKY[/youtube] Early Spay-Neuter Considerations for the Canine Athlete [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[While dysplasia is not as prevalent in Labrador Retrievers as the giant breeds, such as Newfoundlands and Irish Wolfhounds, for example&#8230; they are still a large breed that have the potential to develop this, at times, debilitating disease. Why do OFA&#8217;s? On one hand, there are certainly genetic factors when it comes to both hip and elbow dysplasia.  If you look up any reference for &#8220;what to ask a breeder before buying a puppy&#8221;, any advice guide will tell you to ask if they screen their dogs with the OFA for hips and elbows.  All of our breeding dogs here [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We know that digging can be harmful to people’s environments—and annoying, but, at the same time, digging for some dogs is an activity that keeps them balanced—its also their nature—either to hide food, make a den, or provide a cool place to lay. Digging is a form of exercise and distraction, and, for a dog, it can be simply a matter of boredom. It’s especially common if it’s in their breed to be diggers (such as terriers); when it’s part of their nature, they’ll often drain some of that extra energy by doing something that they are instinctually familiar with.

					<description><![CDATA[Dog Butt Scooting! Why!! Have you ever witnessed your dog dragging his tush along your clean Persian rug and thought, &#8220;why????&#8221; and &#8220;Nooo!!!!&#8221; all at the same time?? Before you assume that they&#8217;re trying to embarrass you&#8230; there are actually a couple common reasons for this behavior. Anal Gland Woes Anal glands are on either side of a dog&#8217;s anus at the 4 and 8 o&#8217;clock positions. These sacs secrete a fluid that contains that individual dog&#8217;s scent. This is why dogs greet each other by sniffing each other&#8217;s butts! (Aha!)  Each time the dog passes a bowel movement, it puts pressure [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Curb your Labrador&#8217;s barking habits Is your lab a constant barker?? Do they bark at everything from the sun to their own foot??? Barking is a natural reflex in dogs, but, there are ways to curb excessive barking. And some people don&#8217;t even realize that they are in fact reinforcing their lab&#8217;s barking habits!! Whoops! Barking Reinforced Barking is a natural instinct for dogs to alert the pack to check something out. They are looking for a reaction from you, the leader. By responding with a &#8220;Stop!&#8221; or &#8220;Stop barking!&#8221; you just *barked* back a reaction to them.  WHOOPS!  Behavior [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dog Parks and Socialization Can Have Adverse Effects Dog parks are sort of a newer craze among pet owners.  The general thought here is to let dogs interact off leash, play, and socialize.  This concept SEEMS great.  Here&#8217;s the problem though&#8230; Often I&#8217;ve seen and heard of incidents at dog parks where playing turns into bullying&#8230; And too often, the owner of said bully is not right there to intervene, or worse, chooses not to.  Have you ever heard these excuses? &#8220;Oh they&#8217;ll be fine!  That&#8217;s what dogs do!&#8221; &#8220;Your pup&#8217;s gotta toughen up!&#8221; &#8220;They&#8217;re just playing&#8230;&#8221; &#8220;They&#8217;re establishing their [&#8230;]]]></description>
