Nacho is one of a litter of puppies born at the end of January. Their momma, Gisele, was left pregnant, abandoned in a yard, when her owner moved. Fortunately someone brought her to the Brevard Shelter where she gave birth to seven puppies on January 26, four girls, three boys, all as cute as pie!
Foster Update: Nacho is truely a lover, my 11 year old just holds him and kisses him non-stop. He just sits in her lap and sleeps. Nacho will grab a toy, climb into your lap and cuddle. He likes the attention but what dog doesn't. He is very, very good with children,especially those with lots of energy. He loves to cuddle and he likes tug a war and chase. He does bark more then his brother, mostly for attention. We call him the tattle tail because when his brother is doing something, like digging, or chasing something, Nachobarks to let us know. He sleeps all night, is crate trained, and eats twice a day. He has been with his brother since the beginning, so expect some separation whining at bedtime.
*** According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Labrador Retriever is a loving, affectionate, lovable, patient dog. Once known as the "St John's Dogs," the Labrador Retriever is one of the most popular breeds in the United States. Originally from Newfoundland, Canada the Labrador was trained to jump overboard into the icy waters to haul fisherman's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800's by English ships coming from Labrador, where the dog's fine retrieving instincts were honed and developed. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of their gentle, loving disposition, the highly trainable Labrador also excels in drug detection, as a guide for the blind, and service dog for the disabled. The breed is also an outstanding obedience and field trial competitor. Highly intelligent, loyal, willing, and high-spirited. Lively and good-natured, they love to play, especially in water - for they love to swim. They have an excellent, reliable, temperament and are friendly, superb with children and equable with other dogs. They crave human attention and need to feel as though they are part of the family. Labs are easily trained. These dogs are watchdogs, not guard dogs, although some have been known to guard. They have a life expectancy of 10-12 years.
