From One Retriever Owner To Another

Hi there, As I said earlier my name is Scott. I live in Canada with my family and our Labrador retriever, Angus. I have been fortunate enough to own black Labradors for over the past 15 years. My Labrador Angus is an important and much loved member of our family.

I enjoy working out, and I take Angus on rambling walks daily. Interestingly, Angus is a very laid back retriever who is not especially enthusiastic about running or fetching. (I don't think he realizes he is meant to be a "retriever".) Angus is a very relaxed dog who absolutely adores children, and loves the fact that I work out of my home office. Angus is particularly social, and just loves it when we entertain with our friends.

In the past I was in the unfortunate position of owning another black Labrador called Lincoln, who turned into a dog with aggression issues, possibly as the result of a brain tumor, and sadly, he had to be put down at quite a young age.

As a direct result of our behavioral problems with Lincoln, I have attended many courses and classes on effective dog ownership. I have read numerous books about retrievers, and given advice to other retriever owners. Our situation with Lincoln was tragic, and I am determined to assist other retriever owners with compassion and empathy, along with sharing my vast experience. Since owning Lincoln I have become educated in retriever management.

Most dog owners want only the very best for their 4 legged friends. This site is going to provide you with the latest information on various issues including training, health, and canine products. Vet advice, breed profiles, dog trends, and all the latest news and research will be available for you. There will be quality products to indulge and pamper your pooch.

Avail yourself of superior products to ensure that your retriever has a happy and healthy life with you. This retriever site has been created as a community and forum for dog lovers, and in particular, for the family pet owner.

I firmly believe that family life and a retriever go hand in hand. They complement each other beautifully. As Roger Caras expresses it so succinctly: "For me a house or an apartment becomes a home when you add one set of four legs, a happy tail, and that indescribable measure of love we call a dog."

I look forward to meeting you, and possibly your retriever, as well.

Warmly, Scott
