You've got two great looking dogs there but they do look more like black basset hounds than black labs!
Bassets are stubborn beyond belief and absolutely driven by food but I wouldn't trade mine for anything!

Actually the one in the picture frame is long gone, he was the prototype.
The other one is a more recent dog rescued from a shelter since my wife was sad after the demise of the first one. Now we have even another one, I'll dig up a photo. This one has longer legs, and is much more lab-like.
All three of them have the basset feet that are turned to the side for digging purposes and those enormous claws. The new one with the longer legs is all messed up...the front legs are just twisted to hell and she's all bowlegged, lol.
