And whilst we would wholeheartedly agree that your Lab is a unique and marvellous creature like no other, Labrador owners are united by a strict code of practice that most owners never even knew they were conforming to. So, does the following sound at all familiar?

1. You spend more money on your beloved Labrador's toys than you ever did on your kids' toys
