Description:
Deacon and his friend Kimbo came to us from a high kill shelter. Their time was up and we couldn't see this sweet goofy puppy be put down! He is so loving but based on the size he now, he isn't going to stay small; there will definitely be a lot of him to love!

*** 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 fishermen's nets to shore. Specimens were brought to England in the 1800s. One of the best family dogs and canine companions because of a 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, where they are perfectly at home. They have an excellent, reliable temperament and are superb with children and friendly 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.
