You should be good to go that's a grate cross You get the willingness
of the lab and the intelligence of the retriever I have had 5 dogs I'm
a shepherd man but if I had to tuse after the Sheppard the lab cross
would be my next breed all the best.

Hi Tracy.
Thanks for all the information regarding the Hilton hotel group.
Sounds
pretty busy and expensive, so I'll need to be careful, particular
within the
bar. My trainer only told me about the hotel on Friday so I'm sure he
has
much more to tell me. I was just over-keen to get an idea as to what
to
expect. I really do hope that I'm not going to be alone there. I
must
admit I prefer the training centres with all the staff and vi people
around.
My new dog is coming up from Newcastle on Friday to spend the weekend
with
us to see how he gets on, so perhaps it's not really settled yet, but
I'm
sure he will be fine. His name is Baker. He's 18 months old and is a
cross
lab retriever. My first dog was a Lab and my current on is a
Retriever, so
a mix of both will be very interesting. I'll need to get as much
music onto
minidisks as I can before I go. You know what it's like. I'll
probably
have loads of music and never get around to listening to it. Thanks
again
for all the stuff. Best wishes. Andy
