I have a male chocolate lab, 5 1/2 years old. We leave him inside when it is raining - he has that special lab relationship with water, fine to swim in, but if a single drop falls from the sky and lands anywhere near him it is a catastrophic emergency . . . to him. Otherwise, he stays outside during the day. I completely trust him in the house though as he has never chewed anything that hasn't been explicitly given to him. The black lab that we had was completely the opposite, I wouldn't trust her to not attempt to eat the glass out of the windows.
He does shed, so that is a problem.

An old lab that just wants to lay around, and let kids ride on him...maybe.
But a young or middle age dog. You may not notice the shedding for the stench.
My favorite dog of all time is a friends houseliving 100 pound lab, but it is a labor of love for them.

My roommate keeps his black lab inside, she sheds EVERYWHERE!!! she has eaten everything in sight including some of my golf shoes!

They shed a lot, but outside isn't the best place for them IMHO. They like to be with their people.

With labs, the first couple years can be rough, especially the chewing part. After that, if they have a couple chew toys, they won't touch anything else. The shedding is a constant, swiffer makes bank just from me, from May through October it's pretty much every day. Even if you let them roam free outside, it's still a problem though, mine chewed the lights on a trailer, all the trailer wires, the spare tire, siding on the house, fence boards, landscape bricks, the pull handle on my lawnmower, etc, etc, etc.

Have a small 50 pound yellow that has lived inside her whole life and sleeps in bed with me and the wife. It has been great but at a cost, she has scratched our wooden floors up pretty good and sheds constantly. Only time she chewed was when she had bad case of diarrhea and we were not home to let her out and she chewed at the door casing trying to get out, but I cant blame her for that. We would not have it any other way but this situation may not appeal to everyone

Does anyone here keep their lab inside the house
I have several that live in the house. They are great house dogs as long as they get some exercise. Crate train them though. Helps a ton.

i hear they shed alot
Yes, they do. I see it as the cost of having your best friend inside. I just sweep daily.

Mine has a mean bark and he diff big enough to be feared, would he attack? Not sure but would prob do a sufficient job of scaring him off. My dog is very intune to me and is pretty protective.

One of mine has a mean bark behind the fence and door, but as soon as the person walks he is a big ole love bug.

white lab
i assume you mean yellow, there are only three registered colors yellow,chocolate,black just different color phases.
I have a couple yellows "one is white" and one black. I could only keep one inside because he is calm, the other two no way in hell they could be inside dogs, i guess it just depends on the dog. Great dogs though all i will ever have is labs

No if I am around he will diff bark at the person and back them down, I am pretty sure if I gave him the command he would attack. Did it with a coyote once and it wasnt pretty, however was kicking my self after for being stupid, I would have wanted to kill myself if he had been hurt or gotten rabies.

You must have a lab confused with a black mouth cur.

1. keep the dogs coat short - a trip to the groomer every so often will work wonders. The difference is unbelievable
2. Get a Furminator
