I've seen this a few time what do you make of it.

The Labrador Retriever, despite his name, did not come from Labrador, but from Newfoundland. The area was populated with small water dogs, who, when bred with Newfoundlands, produced a breed referred to as the St. John’s Water Dog, a prototype for the Lab of today. Early in the 19th century, the Earl of Malmesbury reputedly saw one of the dogs of this type and had it imported; in 1830, the noted British sportsman Colonel Hawker referred to the Lab as "the best for any kind of shooting...generally black and no bigger than a Pointer, very fine in legs, with short, smooth hair...is extremely quick running, swimming, and fighting...and their sense of smell is hardly to be credited."

 

you sir need to find a new place to post your ignorance.....

sorry mods....i kept it as polite as possible....

Hes a flippin troll....:mad:

 

I am curious of any dogs with a fighting heritage <O:p</O:p
And like I said once I saw the statement years ago and here I found it on the net <O:p</O:p
Why use the word fighting any way, I’d say it safe to say when some Brit in 1700 and up had a accidental breeding with a hunting dog to a pit dog they gave the pups a try I once new a dog man who did not even know what a SBT was that was ignorance I felt . and I'll tell you when you see the statement lab and fighting its very vague we can assume - what fighting Ducks Birds what deer worth looking into I think <O:p></O:p>

 

I remember actually reading that on a site as well. I was doing a research project about other breeds and their history. I wasn't sure whether that was BS or not and just a crappy website.

 

See I remember seeing it in a book years ago
They say <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com</st1:State><ST1:pNewfoundland</ST1:p dogs were used in the mix to make lab dogs
<O:p</O:p
As stated
Many believe the <st1:State w:st="on">Newfoundland</st1:State> originated from crosses between Tibetan Mastiffs brought to<ST1:p</ST1:p by British or European fisherman and local dogs

 

Okay, I wasn't going to get into this, but what's with all the :p's?

 

I don't have a lab anymore, don't keep up with their history. I read up on bulldogs all the time. Sorry can't help you there.

Oh and a lab would never EVER attack another dog or hurt a human... riiiiiggght....

 

pitbullin please explain the ignorance in that to me , its because of crap like that no one wants to post and we end up with these gay staff stories on " layla catching a ball "" type stuff , not lookin for a fight but u attacked him immediately

 

Now you know that the internet is a reliable source.

 

just look at some of the threads started by the OP and all your ?'s will be answered

 

Why don't you do some research about what this person has posted in the past. I agree with pitbullin.
If people don't want to post because they are worried about comments, maybe they are better off not posting, God forbid some gets there feeling hurt! lol :rolleyes:

I will agree all of a sudden there has been a ton of pet bull people that came on. But due to these sites being watched many good people have gone to private forums.

 

my feelings will not get hurt i am OP i hope that is Original pit
My post are ok you gota have balance its pit bull community <O:p</O:p
Like a country lots flavors
Just for the record my dog is fetching a stuffed bone with a noise maker in it <O:p</O:p
And is dropping it were I point.

(Found it) Labrador lung capacity enables them to swim long distances while fighting powerful ocean

 

and with that clarification- swimming long distances whilst fighting the ocean (current/waves) im going to lock this train wreck
p.s. OP is not "Original Pit" :rolleyes: its "Original Poster" (i.e. the one who started the thread)
