I picked up a freebe from a farm a couple of years ago, 1/2 registered black lab, 1/2 registered golden retreiver. Best dog I ever had. 7 pups in the litter, I took the only one that came out black, turned out to be the runt, only 52 lbs.
I had a dog Doberman/shepard cross for 15 yrs. She died last fall. My wife and kids have 5 cats and I'm allergic to them. Think their telling me to get lost?:newsmile096:
Didn't want a pet after my cocker died. But the wife went and got a cat, guess what, it was lonely cause we ride alot. So I went and got my cat (Named it 2nd Chances) a three legged tom from the rescue society. Kinda spoiled and grows on ya glad I gave it a good home. And they are buddies.
We have a 3.5 year old Weimaraner, Misty. Very smart dog, always wants to please it's owner. They are a hand full at first but you have to spend the time and train them.
She goes everywhere with us and listens to hand and finger commands, no words.
