Description
Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever (medium coat). Georgia is an 8 month old female Golden/Labrador/Border Collie type mix who is so ready to find a family! She currently weighs in at approximately 42 pounds and is nearly full grown. We don't expect she will go much over 50, so perfect medium size. Georgia is originally a southern girl who traveled this way with her brother Freddie, to have a new beginning up north. Georgia probably has never really had a home or a puppyhood. She can be a little timid in certain situations, is still learning the ins and outs of walking on a leash - every single day she gets better and better. Currently we are just working on picking a side and walking a somewhat straight line! She is very treat motivated and a quick learner when you give her a little time and patience so she can understand what she is asking. She is a very soft and sensitive type of girlie - but that just makes her sweeter. Once she realizes she is home - watch the puppy come on out to play! Georgia is a relatively gentle girl and would probably do well with respectful children. She seems to enjoy the company of other dogs and we can definitely see her living with a canine companion as well. Meet and greets with the resident kids and dogs are a must! We do not know how she would be with cats, but while we could see her chasing for fun, we don't think she would necessarily be aggressive with them. We can attempt to cat test upon request, but with a young and active dog, a dog savvy cat is probably going to be best. Georgia has spent some time in a crate and did well, and has also traveled without much incident in the car. We don't imagine that she is reliably house trained at this point, but we do think that with consistency and some House Training 101 (just like she's a baby puppy), she will pick it up in no time at all! As we said, this girl is a quick study. Due to her lack of real puppyhood, Georgia is going to need all the things you would give to a baby pup, not just training. She will need to be taken out and about and socialized with the great big world out there. She hasn't had a chance to see much or meet many people, and we would love a home that is dedicated to expanding her world and making her a part of it with them. Georgia is not quite ready for adoption but we are taking applications in the meantime for review.

Overview:
The Labrador Retriever, a beloved and highly popular breed, originated in Newfoundland, Canada, where they were initially bred to assist fishermen by retrieving nets and stray fish. Physically, they are medium-to-large dogs, known for their strong, athletic build, short, dense, weather-resistant double coat (commonly seen in black, yellow, or chocolate), and their distinctive "otter" tail. Temperamentally, Labs are celebrated for their friendly, outgoing, and good-natured disposition, making them exceptional family companions. Their intelligence and eagerness to please contribute to their trainability, though they do require consistent exercise to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. While adaptable, their energy levels make them more suited to homes with yards, or highly active families, rather than apartment living, unless daily extensive exercise is guaranteed. Regarding health, Labs can be prone to certain conditions like hip and elbow dysplasia, and some eye conditions, so responsible breeding practices are crucial. Overall, their loyalty, versatility, and affectionate nature firmly establish the Labrador Retriever as a wonderful addition to many households.
