Pippin is a sweet little boy who loves to play but also loves his cuddle time. He's bigger then his sisters, but somehow always ends up getting overpowered by them when they play. He's the most potty/pad trained of the three, and is learning to sit. He's a little too smart for his own good sometimes though, he knows he gets a treat when goes on the pad so he does his business then comes to me for his treat, after he finishes that one he goes and does it again and comes looking for another treat. What a smartie!  He's doing well on a leash, but he gets a little lazy on walks and I have to end up carrying him halfway through a 15 minute walk around the block. He loves his chew toys, and playing fetch and tug-of-war. He's a great puppy, and I have no doubt he would fit into any home and make anyone a good and loving companion.

Pippen and his sisters came to us from a high kill shelter.

*** 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.
