It's a habit that some breeds picked up from guarding
sheep. They then passed it on to their other kin.


Cites? I'd really like to believe you, but I don't.

I look after a wide variety of dogs and many enjoy spring grass.


Oppie was my biggest grass eater (and grazer of other
vegetation). I don't think Labrador Retrievers have much of a
breed history of herding sheep...
