    She is a great girl, one issue which maybe a problem is she wants to be the alpha. I had to break up couple of fights that were starting to get too agressive. So far today they seem to be normal play fighting. I am hoping they get along.

    She looks like a black lab or mix. I have a sweet old black lab mix that turned 13 years old this year. She has been one of the easiest and sweetest dogs I have ever had the pleasure of living with. Sadly she will not be with me very much longer due to age. I would 100% open my arms to another lab/lab mix again.

    If you are willing to travel that beautiful little girl will be available, but she is in Wisconsin. She's a puppy, and more of an alpha personality and our current best friend had enough on 3 occassions. The lady who runs the facility had me bring her back in. It was a foster to hopefully adopt, but I honestly was worried one or both were going to hurt the other. When we were outside she kept getting in our dog's face and biting(trying to play I think), and he had enough and slammed her to the ground and went for her neck. She didn't back off and came right back at him. I had to physically take them apart as I couldn't be sure it wouldn't get worse. The other problem was our guy quit eating. He hadn't eaten more than a handful of food in 2.5 days, so I would say he was stressed. They would fight when we would start out for a walk, but then she would tag along for most of the rest of the walk, so I was hopeful, but the 3rd incident outside I decided the lady running the rescue was right and I brought her back.
    I have to say it was about the same feeling as losing your long term buddy. She gave me a bunch of kisses and was off to see the other dogs there. I had to take a few minutes to get composed after getting back in the van.
    She is a sweetheart and fun, and it really sucks I couldn't figure out how to make it work.

    Sadly I have a 2 year old Fiest/blackmouth curr female dog that thinks she's the "big girl" of the family. I can't leave her alone with the old girl and she would probably not do well with a new female dog with the same idea. I will likely get a male lab dog that she could get along with.

    Cripes, I just killed an hour of trading setting up a time to see another pooch. I blame Baron, that picture fired me up to get looking again after our last couple frustrating experiences.
