RE: Best all around dog
TOPDAWG i think that maybe you are a little bit confused.
"She is a compact little thing and she loves the woods as much as her owner. She is as protective and feisty as they come and absolutely will whip the hind end of any of your labs or otherwise."
I guarantee your little chihuahua would not "whip" my black lab. When molly (my dog) was 3 i sat in the dining room and watched her run off a coyote that jumped out of the woods on her. I can pretty much assure you that your chihuahua could not fend off a coyote. I would love to see that if you think it could. I hate them little yappin dogs they are worthless all they do is yap and yap and dont shut up its annoying. So i just think you are a little bit confused.
But back to the topic... black labs by far.
