Take it to training ASAP
A well trained dog is far more fun than one with an independent agenda.

^this.
If my parents had bothered to train their Jack russells properly at the beginning then they'd be fucking ace now.

Exactly.
Getting a dog to 'sit' when asked is easy, getting one to realise it plays second fiddle to the owner can be more difficult.

So this dog
Is part Lab and part Pitbull?

You'll either have the worlds most placid anti-fighting machine, or the worlds brightest killer.

all of the puppies are soooo laid back and sweet
I held her brother forever and he just sort of chilled out
I wanted him but someone else had already picked him out of the bunch

So she'll spend the rest of her life with you
With the constant unspoken reminder that, much as you love her, she's still not her brother...

Don't mind me, I'm just winding you up
I must admit I'm a little jealous - I'd quite like a dog but I don't think I'd have the time or the patience to take care of one properly right now.

I didn't think I did either but I'm home in the evenings, I get up early enough to take her for a walk
plus I come home for my lunch break so she'd be alone for about 4 hours then with me for about 45 minutes then alone for 4 and with me for the rest of the night

I think that's sufficient, I know people who keep their dogs in a kennel at home for 8 hours or longer.
I'm taking this bitch everywhere I go.

Make sure she's got lots of toys to play with and stuff to chew on.
She'll be fine.

deffo
I hate the idea of keeping her in a kennel or a crate, I think we're going to give her free range of the dining area, lots of toys and a big fluffly pillow

You are going to leave a part lab part pitbull home alone?
I hope you have a big fuck off cage to keep her in.
My mates lab puppy ate through the bottom of the kitchen door and devastated the dining room.
Completely mental.
