“Liebe is our two year old Weimaraner. He is perhaps the sweetest, kindest most wonderful dog that I have ever had the pleasure to live with. Like most Weims’, he loves meeting new people and new dogs, and is always on the look out for a new friend. With his tenacity and intelligence, I am positive that he would be running the household if it weren’t for his preference to curl up on a warm couch and leave the hard work to his humans!” – Liebe’s Family
If you are planning on bringing your dog along with you on your road trip this holiday season, here are some helpful tips that might make your trip more enjoyable for the whole family.
First, Make sure that the hotel, motel or campsite allows dogs on the premises and ask for any rules they may have.
Second, restrain your dog in the car at all times either by using a chest harness or a secured crate.

This breed likely doesn’t need an introduction. Chances are you either own, or have owned, a Labrador Retriever. Or you’ve got a friend or family member who does.
Commonly known as ‘Labs’, these delightful, friendly and extremely fun-loving dogs are the most most popular dog breed in North America. According to the American Kennel Club, Labs have been the number one dog in the U.S for the last 16 years!
As their name suggests, Labs are a type of retriever. Just like their cousins, the ‘Golden Retrievers’, Labs are part of the Gun Dog group. They were bred to retrieve game and waterfowl for hunters.
Labs are fairly large dogs with a sturdy, athletic build. Their coats are usually yellow, black or Chocolate. They are also very intelligent dogs, and have a mild-mannered, easygoing temperament. We’ve had many Lab clients over the years and they have all had wonderful personalities.
