Labradors in London.. Post Reply

[Tils1]

We are desperate to get a labrador and was wondering if anybody has any advice on the practicalities of having such a dog and also where to start in getting one...

We know its a huge responsibility and also will need lots of walking. (There is a 1 1/2 hr walk everyday across the common for school drop offs so this should help a bit )...but any advice would be very welcome..

Many thanks

Battersea Dogs Home??

Local and more importantly you will give a neglected animal a new chance in life...quite honestly there are so many dogs and cats around here dumped at or collected by BDH/Cats Protection League, etc, I'm not sure why anyone would want to pay top dollar for a "pedigree"...and a grateful stray will make a wonderful pet.

Friends of ours got a lab from the Labrador Rescue. While I agree with the suggestion of Battersea Dogs and Cats, if you're set on a lab perhaps this is a good place to get one.

Thank you for your responses. We will definitely look at the Labrador rescue. We would still love any advice on the practicalities of having a large dog in London and also if we still want a puppy where to start looking. Huge thanks.
