Default Looking to add a dog to the family

Hi folks,
I'm thinking about buying a lab pup or a similar breed.

Thought I'd throw out a message to see if anybody had a pup or adult dog they were looking to rehome first.

Thanks

Good for you . I'm sure you'll find a pooch that needs a new home.

Just be careful, if you let a working breed into your heart, be prepared for the work part. Labs etc. will need to work at what they are bred for. I see a lot of working dogs in the City that do not appear to get the mental and physical stimulation they crave. Just my 2 cents worth.

If I could I would own a dog kennel. I just love dogs. I don't even shoot coyotes. I had a yellow lab for 15 yrs. and they love the water and fetching.I had a couple kirllians when we lived in the bush but they are very aluth.
My wife just past away and I inherited two standard poodles that weigh about 60lbs and they hog my bed with me but I have really gotten attached to them. Very smart dogs. When there standing on there hind legs they are at my eye level.
I've had a real old coyote sleeping in the dog house in Montana he is almost grayish but I haven't had any issues with pack rats or squirrels and such. I do have to watch out for the packs trying to lure my dogs off with a bitch.

I don’t think you can go wrong with a Lab, Golden, Collie or Spaniel. Very mild tempered dogs that will suit the family with young kids.

Default AO comes through again

I ended up with a great young lab-Chesapeake cross from a member.
I was adding it up and he is the fourth lab I've had in my life.
And every one before was a wonderful dog to have around.

In the short time I've had this guy he's working out great
