May be ready for another dog

Thanks! I'm sure you will find the right dog waiting for you.

Sorry the pup didn't work out. I'm always leery of those who advertise dogs on CL. You'd be surprised the number of dogs who get taken from yards, etc. and then sold or the backyard breeders who sell pups with questionable lineage. If it was being given away that is a different story. Hopefully your local rescue community will have the right dog for you.

I just did a 25 mile search on local humane society shelters and came up with 7 pages of results . Many great dogs but one that caught my eye is a 6 month old german shorthaired pointer .

So I have started the conversation via email as requested by the website . Hopefully something will come of it . I am in no rush and want to get the right dog for us . As we all know it is a long term commitment for all involved .

my mom had a GSP. wildest dog of my youth. you know those decorative lamppost you have in your yard?. my mom's dog was last seen dragging her's across the yard. i was away at college.

they named that dog Scott, which a chinese person cannot pronounce..he was called Scotch. hahha..

never saw that dog again. or the lamp-post.

The facility with the GSP sent me an email this morning stating there is a waiting list for that dog . So moving on to the next one 😁 . This morning on CL an ad popped up for an 11 month old male sheprador for free. The people are moving to a different place that doesn't allow pets. I am working with the owner to see if we can see the dog Saturday morning . We will see if this one pans out .

Does the Lab color make much difference, even GSDs vary a lot too. Hoping for ya

Just found out the dog's name ....... Lucifer 😡 . That will get changed to Luke instantly 😁 . His face has typical GSD black/tan colors with a mostly black body . Just heard from the owner we are good for a Saturday morning meet and greet . They have requested the records from their vet so slowly coming together .

That is sounding very promising ! Good luck ! Mine is all black except for his paws and lower legs which have shepherd coloring.

Thanks . Funny this guy has black body but all four legs from the feet to about half way up the legs is GSD brown/tan. Owner just sent additional pics my wife and I getting excited . Hopefully it all works out .

If anyone has a female Shepradore from a Yellow Lab ... named Angel, available ... dibs!

Pics guys

Ok we have established a public place to meet at 8:30 Saturday morning . Unless the bastard bites me or my wife 😁 we should be a go .

[wdfifteen]

I hope things go well and "the bastard" comes home with you. Good call on the name abbreviation. (where the hell is that thumbs up emogi)?

I grew up with a GSP called Kip. A truly great dog! A pile of fun and laughs too.

[rfuerst911sc]

Well Luke is now in his new home ! Took him for a one mile walk he poops like a dinosaur 🦕 . I just got him settled down to take two pics will post them later . He rides great in the car and he's good on the leash . He just has lots of energy to burn 😁 .

[craigster59]

Congratulations! Nalu approves!

[rfuerst911sc]

Not the best pics but he rarely sits still . He is a good dog so far he rode well in the car and walks good on a leash . We have to work on him jumping up on people but he sits most of the time when given the command . Luke say's hello to the forum

[Seahawk]

^^^Excellent.

We have rescued a number of dogs over the years and I can say without reservation that Luke won the lottery.

He knows, btw...but he'll make you work for it

Love it.

[rfuerst911sc]

Thanks hawk . When we met in the parking lot this morning he came over to my wife and I with no hesitation and a wagging tail . He is very loving and wants to be petted . He just seems very happy and eager to please . He sure likes watching the birds at our feeders . Must be the lab in him .

Been a looong time since we have had a pup so the high energy is refreshing . If we can break him of the jumping the rest will be easy . Looking forward to a long life together .

Congrats to Luke and his new humans!

Well done by all!

[KFC911]

He will have y'all trained in no time... congrats on the new pup !
