BIRCH - ENGLISH POINTER / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Posted Breed: English Pointer / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). MEET BIRCH!!! Birch is the SWEETEST, most easy going 2 year-old Pointer/Lab mix! He is timid and shy when meeting new people, but once he warms up, he shows his sweet and wiggly side. He'll need a bit of patience and a few days (about 5) in a new home before he will start exploring and feeling comfortable. Birch seems to warm up to women a bit faster then men. Birch is a great leash walker! He would love to have daily walks or hikes! He makes an amazing hiking partner. Birch is housebroken, kennel trained AND doggy door trained! He is very smart and learns new things quickly. He already knows SIT and STAY. He is food motivated so he's easy to teach new tricks. Birch enjoys his toys, but is not possessive at all. He enjoys a good nylabone or a stuffie to toss around. Birch is great with kids (his foster home has a 7 yr old) and he is GREAT with other dogs. Smaller kids who run and yell a good deal would be scary, so older (over 5) would probably be best. Birch does need to be adopted into a home with another pup, so that he has a buddy to keep him company... preferably one who has happy-go-lucky playful energy to encourage him to show his playful nature. He also does well with Chickens and Cats! Birch is a great lounge dog, and does enjoy being comfy on the couch. He is not allowed on the bed in his foster's home, but we are sure he would love to be a bed dog too! CHECK OUT BIRCH'S VIDEOS!!
