We rescued this littler of 8 from a private owner. This is why we strongly recommend spay/neuter for all dogs to prevent "Oops" litters like this one! We know we can find these sweet puppies a great home whom will love and care for them dearly. Their mother was a brindle Lab blend and their father was thought to be a Terrier.
Foster Update: Teddy is named Teddy because he really is like a baby bear. He is more reserved than all of his littermates - and was since the day we brought him home. He's the easiest to photograph because he often sits back and watches his sisters duke it out! He is the sweetest, most loving puppy, and he has a gentleness about him that I rarely see in puppies his age. Don't get me wrong, Teddy loves to play with his sisters, and he can keep up with them, but he is not brave or adventurous like they are. He does not approach the big dogs. Teddy is quite content sitting with you and sleeping on your lap for hours. In fact, he often prefers cuddling to playing and is very different from his siblings in that he is so calm. He eats Evangers twice a day and sleeps in a crate with his sisters, Shallie and Sage.
*** 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.
