Hi Jill and All, I'm pretty behind here, but I just wanted to respond to Jilll's comment about chocolate labs. All the chocolates I have met have been very sweet and gentle. My last guide named Megan, who was also my first, was a chocolate lab, and you could not have asked for a sweeter, smarter dog. She didn't have a mean bone in her body; she was very good with all animals and young kids, and she even had a sense of humor. She was a licker though; I liked to say she was the lickinest dog I ever knew. She would lick anything she could get her tongue on, but she also gave the gentlest little kisses. I used to call them warm velvet, because that is what it felt like. I was very fortunate to have her as my first guide. My trainer at the time told me she was one of his favorites, and he had a very hard time parting with her. I wish I'd known about clicker training when I had her; she would have been great at it.
