We are always hearing people say to us "what a pretty Lab!", now that is very upsetting. Here she is with this fluffy tail that curls up on her back, fluffy butt and hind legs, the all black tongue, but she's short haired and those darn ears flopped. Right after a bath and I brush her out, she looks so wide, so chow. But that last only a few hours before her fur flattens down again. Its still alittle upsetting having people call her a lab. But I still look at her as my pretty little chow even though she'll never have the look of a show dog.
