   Hi everyone

Im new to this forum just joined today and also new to owning a lab and i was hoping someone could answer this for me if possible

Boots is 14wks old now, we got him at 12wks and he has being a pleasure i have him fully housetrained now and have mastered sit and down. 

He is good with the children except of course with the mouthing but this is normal im told he does it to all of us.

What worried me was yesterday while he was playing with his kong which i stuffed with nuts i went to rub him and he growled at me, so my husband went to rub him and he growled and snapped, he has only ever growled at me once before and this was also when i went to take food that he found away from him. He lets me touch his food bowl no prob and even lets our other dog come near it, it just seems to be the kong or scraps.

Should i just eliminate the kong???

Thanks
Jenni
