JB's sister, Darlene (adopted) can also be seen on our website.

Description:
JB is a clumsy puppy with huge paws and a big blocky face.  He’s got sweet eyes, puppy dog eyes—irresistible, and a sweet demeanor to match.  He doesn’t jump on you or demand your attention, but he just sits in front of you looking up at you with a soulful expression until you bend over to give him some petting.  JB is the submissive one in his relationship with his sister, even though he’s taller, heavier, and bulkier.  She teases him into games of chase or wrestling, and grabs his treats, and he accepts her with a cheerful resignation.  He loves to get his belly scratched, and often sleeps on his back with all his legs sprawled.  He is quiet and mellow, and though he does like to wrestle and run around with his sister, his overall personality is calm and passive.  He likes to lay on the floor with the kids and watch TV while getting petted and scratched. JB is very obedient, learns quickly, highly treat motivated.  He is crate trained, doesn’t mess in his crate.  He comes when called, and goes in his crate on command.  He views the crate as his safe zone, and runs to the crate if startled.

*** 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.
