Josie came into RAGOM from a commercial breeder. She was known only as #164, and is now Josie! She will be 5 years old in April and has recently had a litter. She has never lived in a home so is learning about odd noises, reflections in glass and the normal household activities.

She is skittish but also very sweet and loving. She readily comes for pets. She had her wellness exam and all was well. She is 74 pounds and is working on losing a few post puppy pounds. She is fully house trained. 

Josie is a deep red Golden with some gold highlights. She has gold eyes and is very beautiful! Because she has only known life with other dogs, she will need another medium- to large-sized dog in her forever home to continue learning how to be a dog.

Josie does not need a physical fence but can't go to a home that uses an electric (invisible) fence. That would scare her! Children 10 or older are fine. We have learned that the unpredictable, normal activity of younger children scares most breeder dogs to the point where they will hide until the children go to bed.

Josie will be spayed in about a week and will be ready for her forever family then.
