Best dogs we have had are the ones we have now, Rosie The Wonder Dog (Collie/Springer/Coyote), and Cosmo (Lab/Corgi). Had both since pups. Right now their training is evident as they both love practicing being doormats. Both are loving and lovable, loyal, happy, smart, active, and great companions.

I agree though, anything with Lab in it is going to chew. The house is riddled with chew toys and "bones", but I love Labs as their personalities seem to work with mine.

Peace, Mooh.
