I have a 7 month old White English Lab. We have had 2 american labs before and they were full of energy. This pup could not be more different. To follow is some info on how he is. I am wondering if this is normal:
Thanks for your thoughts : )
- Sleeps and pretty lazy most of the time
- Isn’t very excited to see us or anyone really. Walks over quickly to say hi if we encourage him but then goes and lays down.
- Does not retrieve anything and will only really play with toys tied on a stick that we run around with.
- We have gone to the lake a couple of times but he has no interest in going in the water (doesn’t like his tiny pool at home either). Perhaps he is just too young.
- Still goes up the stairs like a really young pup would (very slow and step by step) – does not run up like my other labs did.
- He still cannot get up onto a higher surface such as a couch by himself – won’t jump up like most dogs would. Will put his front paws up and then waits to be lifted.
- Everyone who meets him cannot believe how chill he is and asks why he is not like a normal pup.
Thanks for your thoughts : )
