As I’m not the expert on the topic I will discuss with the shop to see what would be the best options.
How long be
How Long before they become comfortable walking in the boots?
One Thing we do when it's hot and we both
When we both Leave the car we Pop the hood and Leave it running, Don't put the Hood up just pop it - keeps the Air Conditioner running and the Vehicle cool inside
Off and on for almost three weeks, longer each time, rewards helped too. .Sadie is a Lab, and if you keep her busy, she forgets she has them on..
Turn it into a game and they will do anything - Crazy Labs
Some of the Guys we hunt with are LASD and OCSD, K9 units they have remote window down on a fob even on their personal vehicles..

When I get the opportunity to pick out a dog a lab it will be.
we have a pit we take. not a very bright animal by any means, but the wife likes it and i'm not one to turn my nose up at an emergency source of protein...
They are a big switch up from the Huskies we use to raise, who do only what they want to do....and if you have them retrieve your bird it's theirs....
I have worked for a Few Huskies, To close to cats in my humble opinion.

I’ve been around labs my whole life they’re awesome. We had to put our 4 yo silver down last year. She was a big time camper. Rode in the truck like that’s where she was born to be. She wasn’t from a hunting line so she didn’t have the high energy level our new yellow male does. He seems like he will make a great bird dog but whines a little more until he settles down in the truck. Either way they love to please and love to camp!
I find their loyalty to be very high. Trigger knows I’m the boss, and while he is friendly towards everyone, he responds best to me. Thanks for this thread!

Also, to answer the question, I don’t have a reason not to bring the dog!
We didn't notice the fur with having Huskys too, but when the last one died. The fur tumble weeds in the house went down by half! The Black Lab sheds too , twice a year , six months in the spring and six months in the fall.. Oh and if you get a Black Lab, we had to put night lights all over the house so we could see the Lab at night, and having an Orange collar helps..
And all our Labs were a good judge of people as they keep all my youngest Daughter's boy friends away from the house!
Sorry to hear about your Fur Baby, they do get in to your heart...
I have hunted with a pair of Grand Field Champs, it was like hunting with a pair of Robots. I hunt , I share my sandwich with my dog, love them up the whole time out there. We are buddies, not master and robot. Don't miss, they will give you a dirty look...
