					<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.

					<description><![CDATA[This Thanksgiving, we have so much to be thankful for. And the life lessons we learn from our dogs is just one of those many things. Here are three life lessons we learn from our dogs: Contentment Have you ever seen a dog that wasn&#8217;t content with what he had in life? They don&#8217;t lie around daydreaming about what they could have, or what could be. Give them a toy, food, and someone to love and play with, and they will be eternally grateful. Selflessness Our pups (especially labs!) live to please us. Through training as a puppy to an [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear young family, &#8230;new parents, &#8230; and seasoned parents looking for the first family pet, I am a firm believer that children should grow up with a dog.  And, surprise! I believe that dog should be a lab. 🙂 It&#8217;s no secret that labs are a great family dog. Not every breed is right for a household with young children. But an English Labrador, especially bred for temperament, can be an immensely special part of a childhood. My name is Annastasia, and if any of you have called into the office before, you&#8217;ve talked with me. 🙂 I&#8217;m kind of Donna&#8217;s [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So you&#8217;re shopping for a new puppy, and you&#8217;re scouring over countless websites of breeders listing the various health clearances that they test for in their dogs&#8230; and you see a flurry of letters and abbreviations, including PRA. What is PRA in Labradors? PRA stands for Progressive Retinal Atrophy.  This is a disease that is unfortunately common in Labradors that affects the dog&#8217;s sight. A dog with PRA will eventually go blind, and sadly there is no cure for it.  It targets the retina of the eye, which deciphers images, and as it says in the name, the disease progressively [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<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>
