Description
Dog Breed: Pointer / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 375. Meet Major! This handsome pup made his way to us from Georgia, where he was saved from the euthanasia list. Now safe in Virginia, Major is under a year old and absolutely bursting with love, personality, and potential. Major is a striking dog with adorable black spots and an even more lovable disposition. He truly loves people, does great with kids, and thrives on human attention. He’s social, sweet, and happiest when he’s hanging out with his humans. Major is a smart boy who has already learned “sit” and is very food-motivated, which makes training engaging and rewarding. Like many young dogs, he’s still working on his house training and continues to make progress with consistency and routine. One thing to know about Major is that he can be food protective around other dogs. Because of this, he does best with separate feeding and treat time and thoughtful supervision when food is involved. With clear boundaries and structure, this is very manageable, and Major has no issues taking food from people. Major’s ideal home will understand the importance of setting him up for success and will be committed to continued training and positive reinforcement. His perfect day includes chewing on his favorite bones (separate from other dogs, of course!), spending time with his people, and soaking up all the affection he can get. If you’re looking for a young, loving, people-oriented dog who just needs the right guidance to shine, Major may be your perfect match. 100% of every adoption fee is used to rescue and care for homeless animals. Please consider donating to help us more rescue animals.

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.
