Description:
Reba is just the best! He is so sweet and playful. Judy says, "He's such a good dog!" We were looking at him wondering, what is this guy's pedigree? He is all black except for a white star on his chest, has a docked tail and cute ears. Sure, it's always safe to say Lab mix, but I think he has some Australian Shepherd in him. Our dog, Tenakee - he died right before Christmas - was part Australian Shepherd and he had the same ears, same build, same sweet face. And Australian Shepherds have a naturally docked tail. So, there you go, Reba is a mix of two of my favorite breeds - lab and Aussie! Don't miss this wonderful dog - he'll bring real joy to your family!


*** 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.
