Wendall came to us from another no kill shelter..they were closing down and needed some help finding homes..look at this face how could we say no?

Update 12/20/2010:

Wendall is such a love! He is great with every dog he meets and loves to play. He is pretty submissive so with dominant dogs he just rolls over to let them know they are in charge before continuing to play. All he ever wants is attention and to be pet he will sit right in front of you and lean on you until you give him some love. He definitely need a lot of exercise! He is a pretty big boy but still thinks he is a lap dog! He is such a happy boy and deserves the best home!

 

*** 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.
