Hi All
Just going to introduce myself as hoping to start classes with my dog sometime soon
I'm Cara, and my dog is an 8 month old black Lab called Ben. I've discovered he's a bit of a freak though - he's got very vivid tan markings that appear to be brindled in all the points a breed such as a Rottie would have. I have questioned his purebred status with Lab breeders but seems as though it's just mismarkings, or likely his line has been crossed generations back to introduce the tan genes. He's still a bit of a handful, hence why I'm wanting to start classes to get him over this "I'm alpha" stage
Anyway, hope to see you all soon and here's some pics of Ben!
and his markings:

He's lovely Cara!!! I'm very fond of brindle markings being a Staffie lover and I'll just bet he goes a beautiful mahogany chocolate colour in the sunshine _________________ Staffies are my life! Visit us at www.staffies.co.uk |

Thanks all
John, yep Ben thinks he's top dog unless I've caught him raiding the bin or chewing something - then he's off like a shot and crawling to try and get us to talk to him. |
