CaKe is absolutely right. Labs are notoriously destructive. Mine is 10 months old, so far she has ripped up the carpet and eaten the underlay, ripped an eight foot strip of corner finish wood (twice) off the wall and eaten it, eaten the side of a garden bench so its now unsafe, chewed the bannister, and other stuff. I have used garden wire fence to fence off certain areas of the house where theres eletrical cables, or just stuff I dont want chewing. I also have two dog gates to stop her getting upstairs, and into the front room whilst we are not at home.
Wouldnt change her for the world tho!!!!
