The dog rescue that I work with predominately works with German shepherd dogs but on occasion when we find an exceptional dog of another breed we will make that dog one of our wards. The dog in this case is a massive, absolutely gorgeous, male, Labrador retriever, about 1 to 2 years old. This guy is named Tobin and without a doubt one of the true definitions of the breed. He was a little on the thin side and very depressed when we obtained him but a whole lot of love and 8 cups of food a day fixed all of that. Tobin lives to retrieve and play in the water, just be careful what you want retrieved, he can pull a Volkswagen from 3 feet of water if he wishes.
Having said all of this Tobin is well mannered, easily controlled, a joy to work with and above all else a love sponge capable of extended hours at your feet just relaxing. This young man is magnificent running across the yard, his deep black coat glowing in the sun and water flying from his recent dip in our pond.

 Tobin is great with all of our dogs and adores the neighbor’s children who play with him like he is a horse. He is fabulous on a lease, is house trained and has full control of all basic commands. I, as a dog trainer, have enjoyed every minute with this amazing animal. I can say with all confidence that rescues of this caliber are very rare, so if you are looking for a truly phenomenal addition to your family you owe it to yourself to apply.

PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO CHECK OUT THE SECTION BELOW

RDVG wants to provide you with as much information as we can because some of our mix breeds you might not be familiar with. The below section on “About the Breed” offers information on some of the Breed Characteristics, Children & Pets, Behavior and Personality, Temperament and more.

It is important to point out that in addition to the breed, there is an enormous variety in the way a dog acts and reacts to the world around him. In the end, your dog’s preferences and personality are as individual as you are–and if you can accept that– then you’re bound to enjoy each other.

Children & Pets

Animal Behavior Guidelines

Many children, especially very young ones, do not realize that pets are living animals and not toys. Failing to teach a child how to handle pets properly can result in suffering on the part of the pet and, in some cases, injury to the child. Taking introductions slowly will allow you to introduce family dogs and your children safely

Puppy Behavior, Growth & Development

Each stage of Puppy Growth and development is fascinating; by the time it reaches its first birthday a puppy is considered a mature, adult dog. Puppy Growth rate is fast compared to humans, just compare a puppy of 8 weeks to a baby of the same age.

One of the most common questions asked about a puppy’s growth and development rate refers to the eventual size of the puppy. How big will the puppy grow? How can you determine the adult size of a puppy? A young puppy is tiny and cute – everyone loves puppies! But will the puppy be suited to your environment? How much exercise will be required for a full grown dog? Will the puppy be a suitable pet for children? The breed of the puppy will determine the answers to these questions. A general response to the size and growth rate of a puppy and the adult size of a puppy is therefore not possible – it needs to be specific to the puppy’s breed.
