RE: chessie or lab?
IM A BLACK LAB MAN,,,GOOD TEMPPERMENT WITH EVERYONE INCLUDING KIDS IF THAT MATTERS WITH YOU.CHESSIES ARE OK ,LITTLE AGGRESSIVE MOST OF THE TIME ,THERE WHAT YOU CALL A ONE MAN DOG .THEY WERE ORIGINALY BRED TO HUNT AND GAURD THE BOATS OVER NIGHT IN THE MARKET HUNTING DAYS.THERE KNOWN FOR BITING TRAINERS AND KIDS ANYBODY ELSE THATS AROUND WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE BITING.NOW SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE A GREAT NICE CHESSIE THATS GOOD .THE OTHER 95 PERCENT SHOULD BE USED FOR POLICE DOGS AND GAURD DOGS AND NEVER IN THE SAME SENTENCE WITH OUR LABS..PS I HAD ONE OF OUR TRAINERS PULLED TO THE GROUND BY A BIG CHESSIE AND CHEWED UP BAD BEFORE WE COULD GET HIM OFF,,I WAS AT A SANCTIONED FIELDTRIAL HUNT WHEN A BIB CHESSIE PULLED A 8 YEAR OLD BOY OFF HIS BIKE AND SEVERLY CHEWED HIM UP,AND THE KID LIVED THERE.THE DOG WAS JUST THERE TO RUN THE COURSE THAT DAY,ITS JUST TOO MUCH RISK ENVOLVED IN OWNING A DOG LIKE THAT.THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE BREEDS THAT DO ALL THE REPORTED ATTACKS AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM.DONT MEAN TO HURT ANY FEELINGS OUT THERE ,,,MY 2 CENTS
