    You should get the dog if you please. Dogs aren't always good. It depends on the owners. http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/labrador.htm http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/rottweiler.htm

    Try those websites. If the dog is less than 8 weeks old... please do not take it or keep it and buy milk for it... not cow milk. Dog milk. Please make sure you take good care of the dog if you get it :3 Have a wonderful day.

    Labs and Rottweilers are both big sized dogs. So a lab/rott mix with be a decent sized dog. And yes I would say that is a very good dog. Labs are very friendly and the most common "family" dog, the are great with children and other pets. While every dog is different I've owned many and NEVER met a bad lab. Rottweilers are protective dogs, they love there family and will do anything to protect it typically bred for police dogs Rottweilers can be aggresive (but what dog can't?). Rotts are good in family settings once they know who loves and cares for them they will return the favor :) I would say that a lab/rott mix would be a great dog or anyone hope this helps a little

    Well it is not for a young person to either raise or pay for.... how old is your friend and are these her parents dogs pups...

    If you know nothing of raising dogs then don't get a dog which is going to need an experienced handler to raise it.

    As a mix it will be difficult to say. Even if it was one or the other, both breeds vary considerably in size and so it would be impossible to say.

    This dog will need a LOT of ongoing training and shouldn't be left for hours at a time as it will get bored and will be destructive and naughty.

    Aww it sounds so cute! I'm sure if you train it properly it will be an amazing living companion. Maybe go to the owner's house. Ask if you can play and hang out with the dog just to get an idea what she or he is like. Good luck with your choice!! :D
