My Labrador Friends

Woof Woof Hi! Welcome to My Labrador Friends. In this section, you'll find all the information you need to help you navigate the forum - our rules, introduction threads and more. Come and introduce yourself.

Donations

Web hosting is now due for 2024 to 2025. Our current host has more than doubled in cost to over £600. As as result we need to move the forum to a more reasonably priced web host. There is a cost involved in moving My Labrador Friends to the new web host. Rest assured this should not affect the forum, but there might be some downtime whilst I manage the migration. **Update** 21st Aug - Amazing! We have raised enough funds to start the migration process to another web host - will keep you all informed of progress, and of course any downtime. HUGE thank you for all your support of our forum!

If you would like to donate to the biscuit tin, this is separate from the forum running costs. Please message Candy.

Life Stages For all stages of your Labrador Friend's life - pop in here to discuss your crocopop, terrible teen or golden oldie!

Puppies!

Do you have a new puppy? Has your puppy got a bit more ‘bite’ than you’d bargained for? Are you feeling the puppy blues? You've come to the right place! Our new little Labrador Friends might not quite live up to our expectations, and that can be hard! We'll help guide you through the reality that is new puppy parenthood.

The Terrible Teens: Adolescence

Just like horrible hoomans, our dogs can also become a bit challenging as they pass through adolescence. Come here to share your stories, ask for advice on how to deal with your terrible teen or just to vent about your dog's selective deafness. We understand!

Golden Oldies: Senior Dogs

Your Labrador Friend might be slowing down, sprouting a few more grey hairs on their chin, but by this stage, they are firmly cemented in your heart and home. Let's spread the love for the seniors and give those new puppy parents a taste of the wonderful journey that is yet to come.

Wet Noses and Bright Eyes Come here for all your health-related questions and answers. From tick and flea treatments to coping after surgery, you'll find it all here.

Feeling Ruff?

Is your dog feeling under the weather? We're not vets here, but can provide sympathy and support, and maybe the voice of experience if we've gone through a similar thing with our own Labrador Friend.
