What's your Labrador rescue group's name? I'm with Small Paws Rescue, Inc, for Bichon Frises and their friends. As beautiful and a sweet Bichons are, they can be hard to housebreak, and a lot of them end up on the streets - it's heartbreaking. My Buffy gave me a paw ring one Christmas - picture an upside down heart with two digits on each side of the point. He had good taste!
When we finally get our condo (or house), we're looking at rescue first. Puppies are adorable, but neither my DH nor I have ever housebroken an animal. So... we're reading up like mad!

I know Small Paws well! I run Lone Star Lab Rescue in Dallas. We are a small group, but we work hard at what we do!

My accountant tells me that I have to cut back on the SPR donations, but I want to be in their good graces for when we CAN get our pup2b! With our allergies, we'd like a bichon who's between a pup and 5 years old. I think the older ones have even more joy to them!
DH would LOVE to get a Lab, but just can't tolerate them. We'd have to change our last name to "the Redeyes"!

Let's not forget those of us with (or recently without) a smallish dog. When walking said dog, people always say, "She's so pretty!!" Surely some of these people release that there has to be some males to keep the breed pure!
He's a freaking MALE, and not a freaking POODLE, either!! Sheesh!

You would not believe how many times I've heard people refer to Whiskey as "she". My father-in-law in particular continually asks how "she" is doing - sometimes, when he's on the phone with us, I hear my mother-in-law in the background yelling "HE! HE! HE'S A BOY!" 
When someone asks me about my cat and says something like "How is she doing?" I usually say something like, "Oh, Whiskey? He's doing fine, a real bundle of energy." I indicate the correct sex without making a huge point of it. But it seems like some people believe all cats are female ... in which case, uhhh ... where do kittens come from?

Honey, did you recently lose a dog and did I miss it? If so, I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you, aephialum. It's been almost a year, but we're active lookers for a new bichon. We'd love to get a youngish (uETAnder 5) rescue.
ETA a picture of Buffy (Mr. Buff), who went to the Rainbow Bridge last year:
