Well my experience
I have a black Labrador/terrier he is around 1 year old and is a great dog, is very lovely and loves people, he is putty trained and at home I can leave him free at the house alone and never chew on anything other than his toys, not even my curtains which go all the way to the floor, he never get into the couches or make a mess at all and don’t grab anything that is not his. When I leave home and come back from work, the house still exact the same and I love that. He loves cuddle, sometimes I feel that he is too much into cuddling and if I don’t want more cuddle he starts crying or barking. (I’m training him to stop barking I hate that sound inside the house)
My problem is that he don’t do good at all around other dogs and I’m working on training him with the leash because every time I take him for a walk he wants to run. Other than that he is just great, obedient, intelligent and fast learner. He is all black and physically don’t have anything from the terrier breed.

Hello. My name is Kipp Helwig, 68, retired, and live in Boca Raton, FL. I adopted a year old black lab/terrier mix rescue dog this past March who’s name is Kiesha. She was a handful at first because I could tell she was very wary of people, including myself for awhile. Now, she is as loyal as all get out and will follow me or look for me everywhere just to know where I am. My problem is barking, growling and she tried to nip at people she doesn’t know, including my close family members. I attribute this to what happened to her from her previous owner, which I am not familiar. I’m working on it slowly, but I really can’t trust her yet based on her reaction, especially when my ten month old grandson comes over. She really shows a lot of affection for me and I can tell she really trusts me now, but I would like input for tips you might offer. Thanks.

Hi
I need your help because they certainly went through this, my little labrastaff was two months old, his behavior is the same as the other dogs, but I don’t know why his game is always trying to bite us, on his heels in his hands, there is no moment be quiet, the leash always bites the leash and growls, plays alone and bites everything and growls, will it be normal behavior? Amstaff or Labrador go out more? do we need to correct something?

In reply to Jason Breaux. Hi, we have a fox terrier blond lab mix. Ozzie had this problem as well when he was little. We gave him extra praise and a tiny little treat when he went peepee and poopoo outside. He would do the same thing with poo too. He finally got it. It didn't take too long to train him. Good luck with you great friend!

We have a three year old male cockapoo/terrior mix and a going on one year old female Jack Russell Terrier/Labrador mix. We fell in love with our high energy but so very sweet male and decided to get another rescue mixed breed with terrier in it. We found our female on Petfinder, She and her five siblings had been with her mom for ten weeks and I believe that has much to do with her fearlessness and good nature. She too is very high energy, smart as a whip, and extremely confident. Her size is on the smaller side weighing in at 26 lbs. right now (just short of a year). We couldn’t be more happier with our two dogs. We adopted her in February which for potty training purpuses is the best time, so it did take longer than normal to potty train. By May she was successfully potty trained.
Again they are both high energy and need daily exercise. I am an avid runner so they run with me three to four times a week and on the rest of the days they have regular one to two mile walks. Both are very inteligent and have a strong desire to please so training is relatively easy as long as you are consistent.

We rescued an 8 week old Choc/lab and Jack Russell Terrier mix. Gracie is now 3 and hands down is simply the best! Very intelligent. The word active for Gracie is an understatement. She luckily fell into the hands of a very active family that spends a lot of time outdoors. Her tracking and hunting skills are impressive and if there is water around you hear a splash. Protective at first meeting new people but after a few seconds she is your best friend. When people see her they ask, “How old is your lab puppy?” She weighs not quite 40 pounds. Very few toys that can withstand her drive and focus to remove the squeaker. I can’t say enough positives about this mixed breed. Except. You have to see to it that they get lots of daily exercise!!! It’s a MUST!!!

Take it for much longer walks and give treats/positive reinforcement. We had the SAME problem. I learned that they pee, but always hold reserves to mark their territory. Hope your problem got resolved.

We have a soon to be 3 month old. She doesn’t have her 4 phases of shots yet, three more weeks to go. We have her inside and it’s been quite the experience. First pet/dog in our home. She’s a lab, terrier, golden retriever mix. Not sure what I’m in for, we got her for our 12yr old daughter. She’s in a kennel as of now, with a pee pad in her corral. We exercise her on and off throughout the day. She wakes crazy early to pee and eat. Is very smart, but needs to be trained not to bite my daughter, I don’t go near it too much (I’m sorry I’m not very good with pain). So I tend to stay away. I bring her food, water, and clean up after her, I praise her for going back into her kennel so that I may get inside the corral to pick up her poop. I’m hoping for the best, my daughter adores her. She doesn’t go in the kitchen nor the bedrooms, we’re hoping she stays this way. We’re going to invest in training classes soon as my husband returns from work out of town (2 more weeks). Wish us luck! We need it,
