Levis description

                                                                  Flock leader's notes:

The dog is a social, cheerful, kind character and friendly and spontaneous in contact with other dogs and people. He is an intelligent, affectionate and responsive friend. He is strongly built, compact and highly mobile, with broad skull, broad and deep chest and broad and strong loin and strong hind legs. Height 57 cm, weight about 34 - 44 kg. However, may he behave very clumsy at times; treading one on foot or running on children?

The coat is short and dense without waves and feels hard to the touch, the flesh is water resistant. The tail is very thick at the base and tapering gradually towards the tip. The color is yellow cream in a darker mottled shade.

The dog is a Labrador retriever, born in 2011. With the castration has the innate natural symptom of stress (see comment) disappeared and performs with excitement only initially in contact with other dogs (and of course at feeding, gluttons who he is). He has become something of intergender? He is a family dog ​​with history roots that makes itself felt in everyday life. He wants to carry on something soft and waving usually on its big tail.

Labrador dogs probably come from Canada, where fishermen used it to swim ashore with the mooring ropes to the boats. The breed came to England in the early 1800s. There it was crossed with other retriever breeds and became popular as a retriever for small game hunting. It got its name by the English Kennel Club 1903^rd

Smell, hearing, sight, taste and touch are used for the needs of the moment. The soul is used to intuitions rather than democracy and other rights, as his human friends. The ability to adapt to the leader does, and to predict what he will do, varies; it depends on how mindful the leader is. Second to the knowing leader, the food comes. Game and hunting are also fun if the leader is nearby.

Comments to "innate natural symptom of stress".

The castration of male dogs

The most common reasons for castration of male dogs in Sweden are to make them infertile, for medical reasons or for getting rid of unwanted behaviors (Levis have succeeded with undesirable behavior, if one compare with other male dogs).

It is not unusual that the castrated male being bullied by other dogs. It seems that the other dogs cannot identify the castrated dog sex which can make them confused. He has become something of a intergender. Some other dogs may react with aggression, insecurity or riding (has been no evidence of this).

The behavior in males which may be affected by castration, are they who are sexually connected. There are few studies on the effectiveness of castration (which seems to be true, if you know).

1. Aggression between males (competition for females).

2. Roaming (roam around and smell / look for females and rival males).

3. Escaping to look for females.

4. Sexually riding.

5. Stress on the basis of sexual operation has decreased in the neuter.

Levis castration has given successful results, we believe!

Today we practiced “search” in the woods.  Really psyched he sat there on the command "stay". 5 minutes later I put out a jar with candy scents.   

 “Stay”, I said to him, and gave the command "search" when I was in photo position.      He found the bottle after 2 minutes smelling.  
 We repeated this exercise two more times before we were home again. 
Then he wanted to stay out there, and I said “stay” to him in the back seat.

 Here he usually wants to be an hour while I tinkering in the garden.

 I went in to write the day's events, and after 10 minutes barked Levis and wanted to come in to me.
