I made sure that both parents' hips were OFA Certified as well as an eye certification. Labs can carry inherited eye problems. I also wanted a pup from field lines for my purposes. The most common behavioral problems I work with are dogs jumping up on people. First, you have to understand why they do it.
Dogs are pack animals.
Due to are busy schedules we are separated from our dogs quite often. A greeting a the way your dog reconnects with the pack, when dogs greet each other they normally would lick each other in the face. So, the reason your dog jumps is to reach your face. OK, OK, so meanwhile your clothes are filthy and you have scratches all over. So what I recommend is to give your dog his greeting but at his level and more controlled.
