Hootie&Hobbs' BIG little brother, Lamar
 

I cannot believe Lamar is already 3 months old! My my my...where has the time gone??? He is such a joy. I will admit that it was rough in the beginning...never underestimate the stress of owning a lab puppy. However, one good thing about labs vs. yorkies is that they are SUPER easy to potty train! I think Lamar only had 8-10 accidents in the house before he "got it." It only took about 2 weeks max.

I just sent in his registration papers to the AKC. We decided on "Oakdales Man in Black." Hubby and I are both big Johnny Cash fans and we thought the name was fitting. "Oakdale" is the kennel name from where we got him...it was required on his papers.

Hubby and I have decided to wait until he is 1-2 years old (when he is full grown) to get him neutered. After an extensive talk with my vet about it, we decided that since he is SOOO laid back and submissive and calm, there is good chance that he may never mark or hump, no matter what age he is neutered. AND I am seriously considering the possibility of showing him, for which he will need his "manhood." So, we'll see how it goes....the day he starts marking, it will be off with his balls!

We took Lamar to our friend's farm this weekend on Lookout Mountain in Georgia. He was REALLY in his element there. I took some nice pictures of him. This little (or BIG rather...he's about 25-30lbs now) boy is what has been taking up all my time lately. He is the reason that I am just now coming back to YT after a leave of absence. But I love him. He is going to be a GREAT dog.

Nobody cares about Hootie & Hobbs' brother. :cry: :cry: :cry:

I do!!! I think he is adorable! I love big dogs, just don't have the right conditions to keep a big dog happy! But he is lovely! Labs are great dogs......next to yorkies and maltese!

ohh, he's so cute!! We have a black lab, and yes, they are SUPER easy to potty train. I think Rascal had about 2 accidents in the house and then she had it!!!! Lamar is a cuttie!! ahem....hansom!!

He is gorgeous!!!!! I just love labs. I wonder have one right know, but I don't have a big enough yard for one.

Lamar is really pretty!!!! His color is so nice!! Do Hootie and Hobbs enjoy playing with him?

Awww he's a cutie!!! :D

Awwww I love Lamar!! He is sooooooooooooooooo adorable :wub: :hug: I'm so impressed with his lack of accidents, thats great! You must be great at potty training him. He looks so cute all shy looking, I bet he's not though. I just wanna pull his face forward and kiss that adorable snout of his :p

Thanks everyone! You are all too kind! Hobbs is completely OBSESSED with Lamar. They are BFF. Hootie could care less. She is just a pretty little princess and just hangs out in mommy's lap. :D

No, didn't get it. But wait - let me go check my personal email. Hang on - don't go anywhere...lol....be right back.

Must be something on my email that didn't let your reply get through:(:( I'm going now to email you a picture I took of her last night. Not a real clear picture but hopefully it will be enough to show you how tiny she is. She is a real sweetheart:) Give me 2 seconds and check your email.
