This puppy had a rough start to life! He was with a family who wanted a puppy but didn't have the means to care for him. Max is now looking for his forever home! Max is working on his obedience he knows sit and lay down. He is learning that he won't get attention or be petted until he is sitting. He is crate trained and an amazing dog in the house once you give him about 5 minutes to settle down after you let him out of his crate. He starts out with a lot of excitment at first but after a few minutes he will just sit or lay by your feet for hours. He is curious about new things and will approach them and sniff them sometimes he will pick things up off the floor like socks but if you tell him no and offer him a toy instead he won't touch the object again. He loves attention and loves to be pet. He is very smart just need some basic training. Come see him today :)

 

*** 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.
