Description
Dog Breed: Pointer / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (short coat). Phantom came in to the shelter as a stray, thin and obsessed with food. while he does not appear to have been starved, he does appear to have been denied enough food to support him, and he is ravenous at all times. He has a sweet personality, despite his desire to be eating constantly., We are trying to help heal his torn paws now, but it’s hard to hold a good dog down. He is friendly with other dogs, adores humans, and will do anything you ask him to do. He loves rain in the Sunshine, and office time is important to him as well. We are certain he was probably kept on a tie out since the first few days we tried to take him walking. He did not have a clue how to walk on the wish but thought he should run circles around our volunteers. This boy is going to be an awesome pal to an active family who will fulfill his every wish!

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.
