Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Pointer / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 600. Meet Dottie! She’s an almost 10-month-old Lab/Retriever mix bursting with love and joy. Dottie adores people—especially her people. She loves spending time outdoors, sniffing all the scents, collecting sticks, and going for walks. She does well on a leash but can get a little distracted by all the exciting new smells. Dottie enjoys chewing on bones, hard toys, and anything that squeaks. If she finds a piece of cardboard, she’ll happily shred it for fun. After playtime, she loves nothing more than curling up with a soft blanket (and you!) for some cozy snuggles. She needs very slow, proper intros to other dogs and takes some time to get comfortable with them. After slow intros, she plays well. Dottie would do best in a cat-free home as she is a little too interested in them. Dottie is both kennel-trained and potty-trained—a sweet, loving pup ready to find her forever family! Dottie is from an Owner Surrender. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Lab-Pointer, a charming crossbreed of the Labrador Retriever and Pointer, originated from the desire to combine the best qualities of both parent breeds. Physically, they are typically medium to large dogs, showcasing a athletic build, often with a short, dense coat in various colors like black, yellow, chocolate, or liver, and sometimes the distinctive Pointer markings. Their temperament is generally a delightful blend: intelligent, loyal, and eager to please like the Lab, combined with the Pointer's alert and energetic nature. This makes them highly trainable, though they do require consistent exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom. While affectionate and good with children, their energy levels mean they are best suited for active families with a yard, rather than small apartments. Prospective owners should be aware of potential health concerns inherited from either parent, such as hip and elbow dysplasia, eye conditions, and certain cancers, making responsible breeding and regular vet check-ups crucial for their well-being.
