Story
Peps is a very nice, active and sweet silver purebred lab. I know this breed well. She is apparently well trained and responds to common verbal commands. She is active and energetic, better suited as a field dog. I have a service animal for a disability. I thought she would fit in and help my own dog with his separation anxiety, but he has become protective of me. It is clear he won't stop that innate behavior. It is also clear she won't stop pushing for dominance. This is a matter of priorities. I like Peps. I need my service dog for my health. Peps is outstanding! I wouldn't have taken her in if I didn't see that. I didn't anticipate my dog's protective dynamic, but I do respect his behavior. She would be better placed in a sporting home so she can flush and retrieve game. Her apparent instinct for that is outstanding. She comes with vet records and crate (which she loves). I have not seen it, but I understand she is good with kids, but impatient with being handled inappropriately.
