We have a room with a dog door and a fenced backyard, so Sierra Sunshine took to it right away. I think the breeder had his dogs all outside, which doesn't lead to very good house breaking. We got her at 7 months old because the breeder thought he would keep her and then his kids got too old to spend much time with her. She bonded immediately to us and our other dogs, so going out to pee with the other dogs was natural for her. I think she peed only once in the house!

One thing she really loves is her kiddie swim pool. Labs LOVE the water even if they can just dunk their heads in it. I feel bad we don't have a bigger pool or pond for her.
