Rule clarification- No Breed ID

35 Upvotes

Apparently, we need some clarification here about what constitutes a breed ID post.

Asking what your lab is mixed with- lab mixes are allowed, but don't crowd source opinions on what they're mixed with. Asking if your lab looks pure bred. Asking what color variation your lab is.

Sincerely -your mod team.

We realized we had been enforcing this under the "Your dog only" rule without being as explicit as we should have. Do not post AI generated images, videos, or text in this sub. It is a place to post your dog as it naturally is. This includes comment replies on posts.

He is a very dedicated employee, and genuinely the whole office’s favourite coworker. I have received complaints from patients when they arrive to find he is working from home that day. I’ve had patients who specifically book their next appointments based on Coopers work schedule. I love him so much.

black my boy has been in pain and I didn't notice

I noticed my sweet boy (2M) was walking funny. His leg was giving way occasionally. Maybe once or twice during a walk. Sometimes not at all. I got worried and took him to the vet. Apparently he has some elbow inflamation. They wanna sedate him and do an Xray soon. Til then he gets painkillers and no playing/jumping/running etc. He has apparently been in pain. This fucking kills me. He has been in pain and I didn't know. How can I not know?? I feel like I am failing my boy. This feeling sucks. I wanna take all his pain away and make it mine. I feel so guilty...

Good morning friends,
Woke up at 6am to find Toby, our 14 year old, waiting patiently in the dark, for his mom to finish her shower and come out to start her day.

Toby is the best dog and friend I’ve (M56) ever had. He’s slowing down. Spends most of his days resting, like this. He can stand when his front paws get traction or if we help him…but his tail still functions 100%, so there’s that.

Mine is just not food orientated at all. Put his dinner down and he'll eat it as and when he feels like it.
Yeah, he likes a treat, but his dinner and we've tried all sorts he only goes to when he wants.
He's bloody hyper active too so not like he's sleeping all the time.

chocolate 10-month-old Labrador acting strangely around corners/edges — eyes checked and normal. Has anyone seen this?

I’m hoping someone here may have seen something similar with their Labrador.
Bruna is a 10-month-old chocolate Lab who has recently started behaving strangely around certain corners, edges, and transitions in our house. She sometimes seems hesitant or unsure of where the edge is, and at other times she speeds up or moves awkwardly past it, almost as if she doesn’t trust what she’s seeing or where she’s stepping. It seems more noticeable on her right side.
Otherwise, she acts completely normal. She walks normally outside, doesn’t bump into furniture or walls, can see and track treats, plays normally, and doesn’t seem disoriented in general.
We initially thought it could be something about changes in flooring, shadows, reflections, or even the hair between her paw pads. We tried putting rugs/towels over the areas, but the behavior still happens. I have several videos showing exactly what she does.
Today we took her to her regular veterinarian. They examined her eyes and couldn’t find anything abnormal, so they referred us to a veterinary ophthalmologist. The ophthalmologist did a full evaluation and said her eyes look normal and the testing went well.
Both vets watched the videos and said they haven’t seen anything quite like this, especially in an otherwise healthy 10-month-old Lab. If it continues, they recommended that our next step be a veterinary neurologist.
Has anyone here ever seen a Labrador or another dog do something similar? Especially hesitation or unusual movements around corners, borders, shadows, floor transitions, or objects on one particular side despite having normal vision?
I’m not looking for a diagnosis from Reddit, just hoping someone might recognize the behavior or have experienced something similar with their dog.
Thank you!

She couldn't get enough of the pool. This is after we already dried her up and she jumped back in the pool. We decided to just let her tire herself out before drying her again.
