ADOPTED 11-19-11 – Our rescue recently received a young flat coat Labrador retriever which had been abandoned not once but twice. This guy is absolutely beautiful, well behaved and loving, something he has every reason not to embrace. Gibbs is a gorgeous deep black in color, with the longer hair and wisps of the flat coat breed. At 1 year of age (high estimate) he is playful, happy and very intelligent, to the point that if you are not careful he will play you like a violin. I have become very attached to Gibbs due to his resilience, patience and depth of love, how he is able to still to trust people after what he has been through is a source of awe to me.

We have found that Gibbs is very good with other dogs, people and normal life in general. He thoroughly enjoys the company of children and will display a gentleness that is quite unique. He has mastered the leash and is fully housing trained, making a wonderful family member. If you have a desire for a playful and loving new family member you should look no further.

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.
