Sounds like Zip before we had to turn her into an outside dog. She is just too hyper to be cooped up inside.
Nice looking dog, does he have some brown running thru him? He looks all black but possibly a gold sheen running thru him, I would think that is the golden retriever in him. He has to be pretty smart with that heritage.
Yep. He does have a golden undercoat. He's very smart. We have named his toys and he will pick them up by name. Our winery is on the same property (3 1/2 acres) and we can keep him on it 99% time (he does try to go visit with people/dogs next door. The only problem with him, is he doesn't like certain people and his hair raises. We have to keep him inside or in the fenced in area because people get scared. He's always on alert, so it's good for protection/watching. He doesn't show signs of aggression, but I don't want to find out the hard way. He's super sweet and thinks because of my sisters small dog, he can be a lap dog too. lol. Over 80 lbs and lap dogs don't mix. He was the runt of his litter. For a bit there, he did pick up digging from the neighbors dog. Sometimes smart isn't always good. Oh and my sisters dog (we dog watch at times) also taught him to pee on plants! I tried to explain to him that watering and what he is doing are not the same.....lol
Julie>I thought about getting a boxer, but Brutus was free. The product of an escaped breeding rot and a farm dog lab/retriever mix. I think lab/retriever mixes are probably one of the best combo's with boxer/rot/german shepard/pit to help them be more trainable and yet a little less aggressive.

We're working on teaching her not to eat everything in the house. (Not chew, eat.) She will literally eat anything.
Comes in handy when my house gets invaded by an evil spider or cockroach while I'm at work because the wife can sic' the dog on it and down the gullet it goes.
Not so handy when she barfs a partially digested sock monkey into my hand while I'm trying to give her a treat. (Guess she had to make room....) Or when the cable guy shows up at the house. (I tried explaining to her that he was much too large to digest but she wasn't buying it.)

male/female? very pretty and love the fact that he/she was a rescue. I have a friend who just rescued a lab/pitt bull and this baby just adores him. i think rescue babies are so appreciative.
