Sue Ellen came to us from owners that were not able to properly care for her and her siblings. She is so sweet and playful. Sue Ellen has white/tan ears.
They're all light colored, 2 males, 1 female, high energy, very playful and sweet, doing great with potty training (use pee pads and a synthetic grass potty which they all know how to use), all know how to sit and know what no means and drop it. They adore other dogs no matter what size. They are gentle with little dogs and like to play with big dogs. They're submissive when the adult dog acts dominant and playful and fun with friendly dogs. They will leave small timid dogs alone. They love food and are now eating only dry 2 times a day. They keep increasing gradually so i won't say a measurement unless someone takes them home.
They love toys especially tug toys and stuffed animals. Love playing and imams round the yard and are so adventurous and curious. They're trying out a kiddie pool this weekend so I'll report back on that.
They're amazing dogs. So smart and sweet, will make incredible family pets for someone with kids and another dog. Fenced yard would be best and they do not like crates at first but like their XXL playpen :)
They like being next to their human all the time and will try to sleep on the couch with us (we love it, but if future adopters want them off the furniture they will need a nice dog bed and to be trained as they grow).
They don't have bad habits really, they try to pick up mulch or dig a bit but listen to everything I say, come here, drop it, and no. They love being praised and expect a lot of it every time they potty outside as I've been doing. They will try to climb through or under gates and fences because they're curious and adventurous bit if you say no theu will stop, or call them back in a happy voice they'll come galloping back to you.
Just amazing dogs.
*** 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.
