Dok

Profile

I'd like to introduce Dok. He is a 3 1/2 year old black lab golden retriever mix. He weighs 64 pounds. He has now been to the vet and is up-to-date on shots. He already was neutered and microchipped. He needs to have entropean surgery on one eye....which means his eyelashes turn in and rub on his eye....he's scheduled for Wednesday, August 29. He also has ear infections in both ears. We'll find out tomorrow about his fecal and heartworm test results.

He is jet black yet he has longer fur and more feathering than a purebred lab. He has a nice blocky lab head...but we know his father was a Golden Retriever.

He is a pretty typical lab mix...pretty rambunctious, yet not crazily rambunctious. He is a total sweetheart. He met the 5 other dogs here on his arrival with zero issues. We are now down to a more manageable 4 dogs here and he's actually pretty calm. He rode in the car well, although he would have been in the front seat if I hadn't restrained him to the back. He is easy to control and is an easy dog to have around. He is kennel trained and goes in easily. He is interested in the cat, but a little afraid of her....smart dog! He had a bath upon arrival and he was very tolerant.

He came late Sunday afternoon and it's been a work-week so he's not had a ton of time with me....but first impressions are that he's a keeper.

I will update later after I know him better.
