My story

EllieMay - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life!

Hello, my name is Ellie May, and I have a confession to make; I am a snuggler!! Whew...glad I got that out there!!
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my daily walks with my litter mates and the other ranch dogs...and we love playing in water!! Foster Mum walks us off leash for 2 miles a day and I have amazing recall...I always come running back when she calls!

Playing with the other pups is also one of my favorite pass times! Also following the adult ranch dogs on our adventures!!

My litter mates and I came from a local breeder. The lady who was in charge of our breeding, birth and care passed away unexpectedly before Christmas. No one in the family really knew what to do with 7 Labrador Retriever puppers, so they took us to the local shelter. The staff at the Shelter realized that we would benefit from some TLC at our tender age of 6 weeks old. Hay Dude to the rescue!! Very quickly we were at the Hay Dude ranch frolicking in the green grass and going for walks, as all puppies should!

We are American Field Labrador retrievers. According to Wikipedia, our breed is "Intelligent and fairly easy to train partly due to our desire to work with people....Labs are excellent family dogs because they do want to be with people and many don't do well as kennel dogs."

Foster Mum claims that we are the best behaved litter of puppies that she has ever fostered. Our temperaments are gentle and kind and we are relatively quiet (most of the time). We are working diligently on the trick "no jump" and mostly sit patiently waiting to get petted or a treat. And we is smart!! We have learned how to exit our yard, navigate doors, go into the crate and x pen, and we try to "take our business outside" when we can. But, give us a break! We are only 3 months old and still working on it!! There is not an "alpha" puppy in our entire litter; we are all just so happy to be together and with our Foster Family!!
With our gentle dispositions and young age, we can be easily trained to get along with cats as well!!

I am calm and reserved by nature and am a medium energy dog. At three months old, I am currently weighing in at a hefty 14 pounds, I will most likely be a 50ish pound dog. I am one of the smaller pups in this litter. The perfect mediumish size dog for action adventures...and snuggling!!

If your heart's desire is for an intelligent, kind, and accommodating canine companion, look no further!!
