Description:
Blossom was adopted from us several years ago, but had to be returned because the family's circumstances had changed. We're not sure what her breed is, but she's very pretty. Her family said she is socialized and likes other dogs, but what she really loves is people! She will cuddle with you and sleep in your bed. She is crate trained and will sleep in there too, but she'd rather be with you. She still has a very playful, energetic, puppy-like personality. She walks well on the leash but also liesk to run around outside. She's come a long way from the tiny puppy who was found at the airport by a local fireman. We knew that she would "Blossom" into an affectionate, loving companion!

*** How familiar are you with the Labrador Retriever? 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.
