My family looked at lab puppies over the weekend. We've got 3 kids- a 7 yr old, a 5 yr old, and a 15 month old. We love dogs, even the 15 month old loves dogs, and these puppies, of course, were very cute. Also, we found 2 that were calm and non-chewy, even at 9 weeks. That is, they played but didn't try to knock down the baby. When they tried chewing on our hands and we pushed them gently away, they simply stopped, whereas the others just tried to chew shoelaces. I don't know how unusual it is to find Lab pups that can be that calm so quickly, the others I've seen were all high, high energy. Anyway, we are thinking of adding these two puppies to our family, but I wonder if we are nutty! We would crate train them, my husband gets up at 5 to go to work and he'd walk them first thing; I stay home; we have a fenced yard and a large home; we'd take them to dog beach and park; they'd be indoor family pets. My toddler is an easy kid. We can do the work, will it be too much work?
