Really David, how can you put black labs in the same sentencewith
biiiiig truuuuuucks?
They are the suckiest dogs on the planet. Although I have heard some
breeders suggest not to get them if you have small children. But that's
because labs are big children. And will knock over small children in
their silly eagerness to play. I can tell you've never owned a lab...

David Ritchie:
I'm running three threads together because when I take my Border
Collie cross to a dog park there's often some guy with a large black lab or a Rhodesian Ridgeback or some such who clearly got the dog because he wanted a Biiiig Crittr to go with his Truuuuuuuuck . Ridgebacks were bred to rip the tendons from the legs of lions. I've met some very nice Ridgebacks and no doubt Lawrence's one is handsome, clever, well-bred. But come on guys, can you not get dogs that kids won't be afraid of? Consider your homeowner's liability insurance if nothing else.
