Baxter 04-303 [1]

Baxter is a 2 year old Flat Coated Retriever & Labrador Retriever mix.  He is a beautiful dog with shiny wavy black hair.  Baxter loves people but has been away from having his own family too long.  He's so excited when he knows its snuggle time that he sits on his haunches and reaches up to hug you.  Once he's settled in a bit we'll work on redirecting that posture.  Baxter definitely knows sit and is consistently responsive to it.  He was apparently also taught to shake, which when showing you, most often will result in holding hands - yes, holding hands....Baxter loves to have his paw held and stroked.

He's a very smart and very gentle boy.  He loves to play ball and will even pick up regulation size basketballs in his mouth - anything to encourage you or another dog to play with him.  On his first walk to the lake he fetched a stick and brought it right back various times with anticipation.  This "big footed happy dog" is  66 pounds at his adult weight, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and micro chipped.  He's a perfect candidate to be your permanent loving companion.
