Poor Teena is named after Teena Patel, the owner of University of Doglando, where she was dropped off by people who did not want her. She was gushing blood from behind her ear. The caring staff at Doglando, cleaned her up and asked Judy if she could help Teena find her forever home.
It seems pretty clear that someone tried to "crop" her ears - there is a big slice behind her ear. Who could do this to a sweet puppy???? Teena is no worse for wear though, her ear is healing nicely. She is friendly, playful and just a real sweetheart. Won't you open your heart and home to her....
Teena went to the UCF Rent a Puppy day the other day and had so much fun playing with the college students!!!
*** 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.
