89. Overzealous eaters?
It's kind of funny, but it kind of isn't. I'm sure you learned very quickly.

I have only dealt with labs on an individual basis, so my expertise is limited, but I have found, at least through my experiences that they are better behaved than most breeds. Of course ownership handling has a lot to do with any dog.
