Description
Dog Breed: German Wirehaired Pointer / Labrador Retriever / Mixed. *Courtesy Listing* Scout is a 5 year old, 75 lb German Wirehaired Pointer and Labradoodle mix with a calm, gentle nature. He’s a quiet companion who’s happiest lounging indoors, napping the day away, or sitting on the back porch simply watching the world go by. At bedtime, just tell him it’s time and he’ll happily trot right into his kennel without a fuss. Scout is house trained, crate trained, and knows his basic commands. He’s a wonderful listener, very treat motivated, and eager to learn. When he needs to go outside, he politely sits by the door to let you know. While he enjoys relaxing, he also has a playful side and loves a good game of fetch. He especially enjoys tracking and has experience working as a hunting dog. Scout has done well with older children and other dogs in the past. However, he would thrive best in a calm home without young children or other pets. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Scout does have a seizure disorder that is well managed with daily medication, and he has not experienced any seizures since starting treatment. He also needs to be fed separately. After a past situation involving a visiting dog, he developed some food guarding behaviors, but he does well with safe, structured feeding practices in place. Scout is looking for a peaceful home where he can be a loyal, steady companion. If you’re interested in learning more about this sweet boy, please reach out.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Wirehaired Lab, a dynamic crossbreed of the German Wirehaired Pointer and Labrador Retriever, originated from a desire to combine the best qualities of its sporting parent breeds. Physically, they typically boast a dense, wiry, and water-resistant coat, often ranging in shades of black, brown, or yellow, and inherit the Lab's sturdy build with the Pointer's athletic lean. Their temperament is generally a winning blend of the Lab's friendly, outgoing nature and the Pointer's intelligent, eager-to-please drive, making them highly trainable and affectionate. However, their high energy levels mean they are unsuitable for apartment living and thrive in active families who can provide ample exercise and mental stimulation. While generally robust, potential health concerns can include those common to their parent breeds, such as hip and elbow dysplasia and certain eye conditions, highlighting the importance of responsible breeding practices.
