Foster Update 9/13/10 ~  Suki is very friendly and smart as a whip.  We have not had any accidents since she came to stay with us.  She learned the "sit" and "come" commands in just a few minutes.  She walks great on a leash and loves other dogs.  Suki plays with our cat and two large breed dogs great.  Suki has the night crate training down and now we are working on quiet times during the day.  She is a very active and happy puppy.  Suki's littermate was adopted after one night with us and I was worried that Suki would be lonely but not at all.  She appears to be a very adaptable puppy.  I believe she would transition into her forever home quite easily.

 

Suki and her sibling were rescued from a high kill shelter. They are now looking for a forever home.

 

*** 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.
