Story
Otis is 99% a very good boy!  I want someone with patience to have him.  I’m getting divorced and both of us are  unfortunately unable to take him.  He has lived with another lab for the last few years and he has been the best big brother to her! He is very good with her and has never been aggressive with her.  He absolutely fell in love with her when we brought her home at 7 weeks old.  He also loves playing with kids outside! He loves chasing his tennis ball, rolling in the mud & laying in his swimming pool! He is excellent at walks on a leash. He does have food aggression, resource guarding and separation anxiety issues. He has bitten a few times. We have had a professional trainer to the house to help us with his training.  The vet has just put him on antidepressant about 3 months ago. Otis deserves someone with patience he’s such a good boy!  I can explain more through email or phone.  We feel terrible doing this to him!

Story
Buddy has been with me for around 5 yrs and has never let me down. Buddy has been a great comfort and a real canine companion. He has no problems walking on a led. Likes everyone and everything. Of all the animals that I have owned Buddy is in my top two. Buddy loves to be handled. He loves to have his ears rubbed , belly scratched and that space between the eyes. Not really a barker but when he goes outside he might let out a bark to notify everyone he is up. Since Buddy has a offset jaw I feed him wet food and if I give him dry food I add some moisture to the food. Every groomer that has groomed Buddy has nothing but high praise for is actions.

Wookie is a mean bark but all love. I call him my window dog because he loves to sit in the window and just watch everything. He loves to lay with you in the bed at night. He knows basic commands like sit, lay down, and "do you wanna go outside" to go potty. He is trained in the kennel and trained on both leash and no leash. He loves beggin strips and bones.

She knows basic commands and is leash and off leashed trained. House broken. She is crate trained.
