M.E. and Ray started Luvlabs.com after getting their second lab Bella in June 2009. It was a
tough choice getting another Labrador because there are so many great dogs. Both mixed
and pedigree have their merits. Having a dog as wonderful as Abby made it even harder.
Abby was a near white Yellow Lab that was special to our family. She achieved near mythic
proportions with true life stories of retrieving 3 balls at once, learning to spell and even
being housebroken her first day. We worried that any Lab even of another color would
remind us too much of our lifetime companion.

After more than 2 years we finally decided to get another dog and eventually agreed
to make it a Labrador. Our new Lab Bella doesn't have her AKC registration and
it doesn't matter since she won't be shown or bred. Bella's life here will be filled
with play and high quality dog food. We are crate training her; we trained Abby
the same way. The breeders called Bella a Fox Red Lab and she is much redder
than Abby. These days there are Silver Labs too, but the official colors are still
Black, Yellow and Chocolate.

If you'd like to share your Lab and Lab mix stories and photos or even your Love
of playing with your Lab buddies go ahead and sign up for Luvlabs.com. We'll be
updating the site soon with resturants that are dog friendly, events and others stuff
to do with you dogs. We are also researching fun parks, so if you've got a
great one—please let us know!

Thanks,

M.E. & Ray
