Maintenance


Some Lab'Aires have medium length, wiry coats, and some are smooth. Wiry-haired dogs tend to shed, but their somewhat compact coat is very easy to brush or comb. Be careful in black-coated Lab'Aires, fleas and skin irritations are likely under the dense, dark coat if not taken care of properly, especially along the genitals, base of the tail, and sides of legs. Males and females develop beards that can be long but not thick enough to hold rogue debris. They are also known for long curly eyebrows. Generally easy maintenance but be careful to watch for skin problems.

Ideal Environment


These breed is not lazy. They love to play and have a keen prey drive. They don't normally tear up furniture, but do need daily exercise to release pent up energy. They do best in a secured yard as they love to chase prey. If there is a way to get out of the yard, this breed is likely to find it. They do great in the country but are just as comfortable living in the suburbs. Daily leash walks are recommended.

Dog Training!

If you're having problems training your dog or getting control, you should read our review of DogProblems.com. Adam will do whatever it takes to help you whip your dog into shape. I've used them to help with my Great Dane as well as help friends train their dogs. It's the first place I go to help answer users Questions. Many training issues are too extensive to answer in this forum, which is why I refer a lot of the load to his site. Update: I've been using and recommending DogProblems for three years now. I, as well as my users, value the techniques we've learned. I get weekly emails from users who have become better owners from the information they received.
