The Family Dog

Hi Ya
Now that is what I call a Family Dog!! Just look at that face.

That gentle, everything is fine here, got it under control, trust me look is pretty much the same across this wonderful breed.
The thing about it is that this animal means it. Ha Ha
This guy is calm and will probably sit right by his Mistress as long as she sits there with her baby. If the baby cries, he will check to see if everything is ok. If he is trained, he will go fetch whatever Momma needs or if he isn't trained he will probably pace the floor or go see if Daddy is home. From my experience, this breed does not like to see unsolved problems. Once everything is fine again, they will settle down too.

I have seen this breed with 2 or 3 little ones (of the human persuasion) lying on him, crawling all over him, or using him as a pillow without so much a twitched whisker. If the child happens to pinch or something that hurts just a little, he might lift his head and see what is going on but will just lay back down. Like he says, "No problem, trust me."

Of course, there will always be an exception to the rule. Statistics would prove, I'm certain, that once in a great while a glitch will happen and a "bad dog" will appear in any breed. But trust me in this, you will not often run into one of these "glitches" with this breed. I believe that is because you have started with Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever genetic mix. That, my friend, is,indeed, a match made in heaven. See you later.
