Hi, my name is Samson.   I don't know what kind of pup you are looking for, but if you want someone who is up to date on shots, neutered, potty trained, crate trained and does sit and paw, well, I am the guy for you.  At one year of age, I am a young and energetic guy but I have to tell you that I really love just sitting on the couch with you too.  I love my kong toy and I am so well behaved.  Everyone calls me a lovebug so I guess that is really good.  Do you want a lovebug in your life?  Please come meet me.  I want a forever home for the holidays and I miss having a home to call my own.  In a word - I am beautiful and soft and so loveable.  Hurry, ok?  I don't want to miss Thanksgiving or Christmas with you.  If you have kids, they will love me!  Love  - Samson  ......PS:  You can call me Sam :) 

 

*** 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.
