Dogs shake after contact with friends, to reduce the probaility of getting contagied of parasites, like lice or ticks

In reply to Harriet Morse. Hi Harriet. My lab will also shake when we're getting ready for a walk, if I take too long then it can also be accompanied by a yawn.

Our Miss Mattie shakes each time there is a change in events. If ask, ‘do you want to go for a walk?’, she jumps up, ready to go and does the shake down. With her, it seems to be part of her getting ready for whatever is going on. It’s part of her excitement and anticipation…..not stress, at least in her case.

A mixed dog is called a mongrel period ! Leave the Labradors alone ! I have enough trouble finding a Labrador with hunting instincts due to all the fat “show ” dogs . Years ago they drowned them to keep the breed pure .
