It does seem as though we should provide more opportunities for folks to use foreign languages. The Europeans seem to be pretty fluent in many different languages. Other than the Mexicans and the Canadian province of Canada there really arenât many regional opportunities to use foreign languages. But that doesnât mean we should ignore the culture in the rest of the world.
Any Beagle that is substantially smaller than the AKC standard is not seen as its own breed, he is only seen as a dog that has a major fault: he is too small to fit the breed standard and this can bring about a variety of health issues.
The AKC's standard weight for a Lab in working condition is approximately: dogs 65 to 80 pounds; bitches 55 to 70 pounds. Labs are a medium sized breed, and too often they have been bred to be far too big, where they would be (if that was the standard, which it isn't) classified as a large breed.
