I have a beautiful well tempered dog. His name is Rayne. We are just coming out of the puppy phase he is just over 2 years. Mostly black with a little white, he also has some subtle brown mixed in. I picked him out of his litter very carefully. He isn’t possessive, which is great! He is pretty independent. Gentlest dog ive ever had, also the worst recall… and the only dog people refer to as a social butterfly with other dogs. He is more dog focused then people. He loves his family, but isn’t a huge fan of most strangers petting him… I try to be respectful of him and his needs. He is an absolute sweetheart. Best tempered dog I’ve ever had. He hovers around the 90lbs mark.

We just adopted what they believe is a black lab/shepherd puppy from our local animal services. We’ve already sent his DNA swab off for confirmation. Ollie is a goofy 4-month-old with boundless energy. He was 100% potty trained in 3 days (even the trainer didn’t believe me). His is VERY mouthy (chews on EVERYTHING) and he talks a lot….howling, moaning and just general funny noises. It’s been a very, very long time since I’ve lived with a puppy. I am very hopeful that he’s going to grow into an amazing, well-behaved companion.

I adopted a black lab sheep mix also pit in her. She is 5 months old and in training. She is very smart and sassy. She is very active but I have her in classes as I want her to be a therapy dog. She is friendly but started to protect already. I am 70 and appreciate that as I love with my mom and it’s nice to know she protects. She is black on her face ears crack legs and tail and cho lab on head and sides with a white patch on chest and two toes. She is beautiful. She is already 43lbs

We have an 18 month old sheprador. She’s an enthusiastic greeter and great fun but the shepherding instinct in her is strong! She will nip other dogs when playing chase. She’s super friendly though and great with my teenage kids but also quite a scaredy cat of unknown things. A tyre in the park spooked her.
She’s also a poop eater.

We have a beautiful, 15 week old, black Shepardor with one steely blue eye and the other dark brown. Nuit (French meaning “Night”) is already proving to be highly intelligent and has learned commands quickly. She has more Lab tendencies as she is highly social with people and other dogs. Nuit is definitely high energy. She loves her long walks especially if we head to the nearby fields where she will search out lost toys, mittens, hats, etc and then want to bring them home. She already knows each one of her toys by name which surprised us but, we test her and she always brings the exact toy we request. Is this unusual? Her appetite is crazy though. This is our biggest challenge along with house training. We’re following the recommended guidelines with a slight bump but, she brings her food dish right to our feet when she’s looking for more…which is often. Any thoughts?

We have a choc lab rescue that we thought was maybe mixed with Chessie. We did the DNA test and Sierra is 73 percent Choc lab and 27 percent German Shepard. We rescued her when she was 2 and we were told she was a handful. Boy that was an understatement. She is a true hunter but wants to kill what she finds then bring it back to you. She sheds like crazy and that coat repels water like a duck. But extremely intelligent and turns out good at the sport of Dock Diving. She is a good helper around the house as she will carry objects for you or retrieve them for you to throw out. She is very hyper and will chase planes across the back yard. Needless to say she needs a lot of exercise. She has golden eyes and you can just see the intelligence in those eyes. She does listen if you can get the command to her before her mind takes off. I use a clicker to break her concentration when she is focused on taking off as it brings her back to me. She is now 9 and still acts like 2.

I had a black lab/shepherd up until a few days ago. He was my best friend and was always there for me no matter what, a member of my family. He was 16 and last week he rapidly declined and stopped eating. Fearing the end we kept him comfortable but, by Monday 8/8 he was so weak I had to do what I didn’t want to and put him out of his misery. The vet came to the house and I was last thing he saw before he passed. I stayed with him another 15 minutes while the vet took the fur from his las brushing together with a paw print cast. I break up while writing this, he was loyal to the end and there will never be another dog like him. I’ve been thisclose to tears since then.

I have a black lab German shepherd, he is the sweetest, smartest, goofiest dog I have ever owned. He’s little over a year old but he is already my best friend and service dog for ESA. He’s great with other dogs, always energetic, never aggressive, and if I take him to the lake I can’t get him out! He love the water. And running around being a goofy boy that he is. And his name? His name is Ludo.
