Our vet has recommended that all dogs under 6 months not to spay or neuter the pups because they are too young and their bodies are not fully developed.  Adoption donation includes transport and all vaccinations, except for the Lyme—therefore, the dogs will not need to get any vaccinations for the first

Can you imagine being lost alone in the woods freezing, hungry and scared? How frightening for anyone, and worse yet for a 10 week old puppy! This is precisely what happened to sweet, little Hunter. How he got in the woods, we are not sure.

ALL LITTER MATES * HAZEL * HUNTER & JANGO

ADOPTED ON 04-02-22 Often, unwanted puppies are abandoned in the woods, or a stray may wander into the woods in search of a safe place to have her puppies. In either case, we are certain there may be more out there, and there are some pretty wonderful people keeping an eye out! Hunter, however, was clever enough to seek out help when he saw a hunter (yes, hence the name!) walking through the woods. He made his way to her, and this kind young girl wrapped him up in her jacket and quickly got him to a vet. It’s a happy ending for Hunter, who is now being spoiled in a foster home, waiting to begin his journey to a loving forever home.

HUNTER IS A PROUD BOY

Hunter is a Black Lab mix, and we suspect he is mixed with hound. He is only 12 pounds now but will be a large boy. Based on his huge, white paws that make him look as if he stepped in paint, he has a lot of growing to do! Like most puppies, Hunter loves everyone and everything. Even the cats! He’s especially fond of the other dogs if they will play with him. He plays hard, sleeps hard, and he’s even a bit of a snuggler as well. Foster mom says he is so adorable and friendly, yet mischievous in the cutest ways, too.

HUNTER AND THE CATS

 

When deciding what breed would be a good fit for your family, it is best to do some research first so that everyone, including the new pup, will be happy. Everyone knows that the Lab is the number one family dog. The sweet-faced, lovable Labrador Retriever is America’s most popular dog breed. Labs are friendly, outgoing, and high-spirited companions who have more than enough affection to go around for a family looking for a medium-to-large dog. The sturdy, well-balanced Labrador Retriever can, depending on the sex, stand from 21.5 to 24.5 inches at the shoulder and weigh between 55 to 80 pounds. The dense, hard coat comes in yellow, black, and a luscious chocolate.

Labs are famously friendly. They are companionable housemates who bond with the whole family, and they socialize well with neighbor dogs and humans alike. But don’t mistake his easy going personality for low energy: The Lab is an enthusiastic athlete that requires lots of exercise, like swimming and marathon games of fetch, to keep physically and mentally fit. If our suspicions are correct, that little bit of Hound in him will add the extra wonderful traits of natural inquisitiveness and independence, being a loyal hunting or hiking partner, as well as a deep devotion to his people.

We are so happy Hunter is safe and sound now, and we just know his future is bright! Please consider opening your heart and home to this wonderful little guy!

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.
