Oh yeah, cos Oreo and Shamu are really calm

In ten years time we may not be able to give a Lab the exercise it needs.

I never understand this.. maybe my Labrador is broken but Stanley really doesn’t have high exercise needs. He never has really. He’s basically a couch potato. He gets about an hour day with plenty of sniffs and he’s happy but that’s what I would give any dog.

My friend’s got a cavapoo. He’s super cute and very bonkers. But he’s so tiny it doesn’t really matter, it’s just a little ball of fluff pouncing about.

Cassie is much the same as Stanley, she was high energy as a youngster but really since 3 plus her physical exercise requirements have not been very high.
She does however love mental stimulation and games.
I don't think I have ever walked more than 3 miles with her.

Carbón is a slug. A cuddly, gentlemanly slug, but a slug nonetheless. He’s happy with a time to get his ya-yas out, but whether that’s just a leisurely sniffy walk in town or an hour swim session, he’s happy as a clam. He’s even ok with a 2-3 day stretch of hiding indoors from the rain.

In fact, I’m pretty sure for a quick minute in Italy, he was ready to go on strike over so many long walks. Not enough sofa time!

All my dogs have ended up being coach potatoes - that probably says more about me than them though.

Pee ess (as @Candy would say) - it really doesn’t matter what breed you get, as long as you find a dog to love at the time that’s right for you. We’ll be cheering you on!

Maxx is not high energy either, we do around 40 mins per day and it is more sniff than run. Like Cassie he is more interested in mental games or stealing shoes/clean washing/t-towels etc and invoking a chase

Yes, this totally.

Er..just to clarify, Pee Ess is actually Joy's spelling, not mine!

You lucky people with low energy Labs. Holly needed an all-morning walk if she was going to snooze after lunch. Cocoa was OK with an hour, provided it was twice daily.

Reuben is also a couch potato He will happily walk or run as far as I want to go but is equally happy if his walk is short , he will still come home and snooze , or beg or hang around in the kitchen xx

You will remember though the energetic whirlwind adolescent I once had

Who can forget Cassie as a pup. I remember Holly getting a bit stressed on one of our walks because of Cassie‘s non stop attention.

Oh, sorry that is the only memory that you have of her.

Both my dogs are calm and steady. HOWEVER, that was not the case when they were younger! Poppy was wild, and Merlin... well, his nickname was Maelstrom!!!

 

[Hollysdad]

Oh, sorry that is the only memory that you have of her.

That particular day sticks in my mind because it was just the two dogs. It was also the day we saw a muntjac in the woods on Crabtree Hill.
I have other memories of Cassie such as the lovely walk with Rourke over the Malverns.
