That one in front of the door looks “ready for Freddie”
The one on the far left and the poodle are the ones to watch. Then Shep. The retrievers look typically harmless.
My mom and dad had two yellow lab bitches (sisters) and were very watchful and if you didn’t belong there they let you know it by bared teeth and a low growl, two bitches at about a hundred pounds each you didn’t argue! When dad went to punish us kids he had to put them into the wood workshop, if not they got between us and would not back down to dad, even grabbing his wrist in their mouths to hold him back. That use to piss him off! But he knew we were protected and cared for.
I have 3 Black Lab females, oldest is 12, she would lick anybody to death, middle is 7, she would bark and act mean but she has the heart of a chicken, youngest is 2, not sure how she would act, but she is an asshole. I don’t get too many strangers here in the creepy old church next to a cemetery in the middle of nowhere
always watch out for the dog that doesn’t bark. that one will bite your ass.
had a good dog like that once, 20 dollar pound hound. mixed breed, lot of lab in him. some shep, and not sure what else. he was a good size dog, close to 110 lbs
in his prime. used to run with me around the airport on base. I did 5 miles and he did close to 8-10 maybe. he would eat every rabbit he caught, and he caught a lot of them. had to put him down at 17 years of age. his heart was still good, lungs too.
he started going blind two years before his hips went out on him while walking across the room. at that point he was in a lot of pain and I couldn’t stand to watch him trying to get up after falling. I know it was the right thing to do, but god did I ever feel like shit for a long time after that. that was 22 years ago this may.
still keep a picture of his ass on the fridge.
I still miss that old dog. jack was his name.
I always say every breed has pro’s and con’s. Goldies are too damned friendly. They’ll lick a burglers hand and show him where the good stuff is stashed. Or be hiding under the bed quivering. One nice point of the crew in that pic is that as soon as one of the little yappy things starts up, all the rest will join the chorus. Good security system if you can afford the puppy chow.
